How do roofers find leads from code violations?

When a property receives a roofing code violation, the homeowner must fix the issue or face fines. CodeViolations monitors city databases daily and delivers these property addresses to roofers. You can reach out via direct mail, door knocking, or flyers — these homeowners already know they need help.

How many roofing violation leads are available?

We currently have 917 properties with roofing-related violations across 28 states. New violations are added daily as city inspectors file new reports.

What types of roofing violations create leads?

Common roofing violations include missing or damaged shingles, roof leaks from damaged flashing, sagging roofs from structural damage, deteriorating flat roof membranes, missing gutters causing drainage issues, and unpermitted roof repairs that need correction.

How is this different from HomeAdvisor or Angi for roofers?

HomeAdvisor and Angi sell the same lead to 5-10 roofers. Code violation leads are public records that most roofers don't know about. You're often the first contractor to reach out, which means higher close rates and no bidding wars.

What Are Roofing Code Violations?

Every year, thousands of properties across the US receive code violations for roof damage — missing shingles, leaks, sagging, storm damage, and deteriorating materials. Each violation is a homeowner who needs a roofer now, or they face escalating fines from the city. CodeViolations scans municipal code enforcement databases daily and delivers these property addresses directly to your dashboard.

Common Roofing Violations That Create Leads

Missing or damaged shingles — storm damage, aging, or improper installation causing exposed decking
Roof leaks — water intrusion from damaged flashing, valleys, or penetrations
Sagging or structural damage — compromised rafters, trusses, or decking from water damage or age
Deteriorating flat roofing — blistering, ponding water, membrane failures on commercial or residential flat roofs
Missing or damaged gutters — improper drainage causing foundation issues, ice dams, or fascia rot
Unpermitted roof work — previous roof work done without proper permits requiring inspection and correction

Why Roofing Violation Leads Convert Better

Unlike cold leads or shared leads from platforms like HomeAdvisor, code violation leads represent genuine, urgent demand. The homeowner has been officially notified by the city that their property has a roofing issue. They must fix it or face escalating fines.

This means you're not competing for attention — you're solving an immediate problem. Homeowners with active violations are motivated buyers who are actively looking for help.
