Frequently Asked Questions

For Roofing Professionals, HOAs, and Property Managers

1. How does RAKE ML help roofing businesses, HOAs, and property managers?

We empower you with data-driven insights so you can:

  • Prioritize roof repairs more efficiently
  • Streamline budgets and manage multiple properties (for HOAs, property managers)
  • Boost sales conversions (turn “maybe” into “yes” when door-knocking or working existing leads)

Key Benefits:

  • Targeted Lead Generation: Only knock doors that truly need help
  • Higher Conversion Rates: Present real, AI-backed data that homeowners trust
  • Instant Education for the Homeowner: Our Roof Reports clarify issues on the spot
  • Streamlined Claims: Photo + weather proof to accelerate insurance approvals
  • Customizable Reports: White-label or brand them as your own

2. What specific solutions do you offer for door-to-door roofing sales?

RAKE ML combines AI-driven roof analysis with meteorological data and human expertise to deliver:

  1. Lead Lists: Addresses that likely need roof repair or replacement, complete with Google Maps links for easy visits
  2. Professional Roof Reports: Attached to each address, showing photos, damage details, hail/wind logs, etc.
  3. White-Label Options: Brand these reports with your logo and colors, so you stand out immediately

Outcome: You show homeowners tangible data, boosting your close rate from ~2–3% to often 8–10%+.


3. Do you provide marketing or sales support?

Yes—beyond scanning roofs, we can:

  • Help with local marketing tactics (direct mail, door-knocking scripts, route optimization)
  • Design postcards or door-hanger templates
  • Offer custom-branded PDF reports that instantly impress homeowners

Our goal: Make it easy for you to communicate your value, build trust, and increase closings.


4. I already have leads from aggregator services—how can RAKE ML improve them?

We call this our “Lead Qualification” service:

  • We generate a comprehensive roof report (with hail history, condition analysis, etc.) for any lead you already have.
  • Arrive at the door and show, “Here’s concrete evidence your roof needs attention,” instead of guessing.
  • This alone can raise your close rate by several percentage points—sometimes doubling your normal aggregator success.

5. How accurate are your roof assessments for insurance or large-scale projects?

We combine:

  • High-resolution aerial imagery for precise detail
  • Advanced AI to detect hail, missing shingles, algae, etc.
  • Historical weather data for context
  • Human verification by roofing specialists

This yields claim-ready accuracy and thorough damage insights, whether you’re handling a single home, large HOA complex, or multiple commercial properties.


6. Is everything exclusive, or do you share leads between multiple contractors?

All RAKE ML leads are 100% exclusive. If you purchase or qualify addresses in a specific area, we won’t resell those same addresses to another roofer. No overlapping competition or “shared lead” nonsense.


7. How do I get started, and how quickly can I see results?

  1. Contact us to discuss your region and volume needs
  2. We activate your subscription (or trial) within 48 hours
  3. Get your addresses + PDF reports and marketing tips
  4. Start door-knocking or re-engaging leads immediately—expect higher closings within days

Roofers often see extra deals in the first week, especially if they already have leads to qualify.
