Every home in your service area, scored by whether it actually needs you
The lead marketplace sells the same homeowner to four of your competitors. EDDM mails your postcard to every address on the route, including the three thousand homes that re-roofed last spring. Both are waste you pay for. We build a property-level dataset of your zip codes from permit and public property records, so roof age, system install dates and ownership are known before you spend a dollar reaching anyone.
You are paying twice for the same waste.
The lead you just bought went to four other contractors at the same moment. Shared-lead marketplaces routinely sell one homeowner to somewhere between three and ten businesses, at roughly $15 to $85 a lead in trades like HVAC and roofing, on top of an annual membership. When only a fraction of those convert, the true cost of a booked job is several times the sticker price, and at the end of it you still do not own the relationship.
Direct mail has the opposite problem. EDDM is cheap per piece, around $0.41 to $0.57, precisely because it goes to every address on the carrier route. That is the whole point of it and also the flaw: you pay exactly as much to reach the house that re-roofed last spring as the one running a nineteen-year-old roof. Response for home services sits near 3 to 4 percent, which is respectable, but the denominator is stuffed with homes that were never going to call.
Know the house before you spend a dollar reaching it.
Nationwide, because the source is public record.
Property and permit records exist in every state, so the build is not limited to a region. Hover a state for the size of the owner-occupied universe we can assemble and score there.

Three taps and an email. We come back with the property and permit coverage for your actual service area, how many homes carry a roof or system past its service life, and what it would cost to reach them.
The same budget, pointed at fewer houses.
Nothing here wins by being a cleverer channel. It wins by shrinking the denominator. Mailing 40,000 addresses at EDDM rates costs roughly what mailing 8,000 scored addresses costs at targeted-list rates, except the second campaign is only talking to homes with an aging roof or a system past its service life. A good home services mailer already pulls 3 to 4 percent. The leverage was never in the postcard, it is in who receives it.
And the list is yours. Every property you touch, every reply and every job stays in your CRM, which is the difference between building an asset and renting one from a marketplace that sells to your competitor on the same afternoon.
