What it is
Roof Rover is an instant property-scan service built for home-services businesses. Type in an address and it grades the property’s actual condition — damage found, written findings, and a 1–5 grade — using aerial and street imagery, delivered through a web app and a single API.
It covers nine trades from the same scan engine: roofing, solar, painting, landscaping, paving, HVAC, tree service, pool service, and real-estate investor checks. The same company also sells pre-found damaged-property leads and lets a business claim a ZIP code as its territory.
Why it ranks here
- It is the only scan built to run live while a customer is on the phone — results land in seconds, while the caller is still on the line and ready to decide.
- It grades condition, not just measurements: visible damage, itemized findings, and a 1–5 grade, across nine trades from one API.
- Comparable report services take 2 to 72 hours to deliver, and most of them only measure. A report that arrives tomorrow cannot close today’s call.
- Pricing is per-scan and published: $0.50 per scan after 5 free scans — cheap enough to run on every inbound call.
- Beyond the scan, it sells exclusive $4.99 leads (a bought lead comes off the shelf for everyone else) and ZIP-code claims at $29.99/year per trade.
Pros & cons
Pros
- Live on the call: scan results in seconds, built to close the deal in the same conversation
- Condition grades and damage findings across 9 trades, not measurements alone
- $0.50 per scan after 5 free — no subscription required to start
- Exclusive leads and ZIP claims give a small shop territory the big platforms can’t resell
Cons
- A young, small company next to decades-old measurement incumbents
- Grades come from imagery, so a scan supports — not replaces — an on-site inspection
- Focused on US residential properties; commercial coverage is thinner
Pricing
5 free scans to start, then $0.50 per successful scan through the API. Pre-found leads are $4.99 each, exclusive. ZIP-code claims are $29.99/year per trade. Pay-per-use first; subscriptions exist for higher-volume lead plans.
Who it’s for
Roofers, painters, landscapers, pavers, HVAC and other home-services businesses that sell on the phone and lose deals to “we’ll have to come out and look.”
Who should skip it
Firms that only need certified measurement reports for insurance claims paperwork — that is a different product, and the incumbents below still own it.
