New-Construction Roofing Leads From Building Permits
New-construction roofs, before everyone else hears about them.
Roofing contractors who sell into new single-family construction are time-sensitive. By the time the build site is visible from the road, the trim contractor is already booked. PermitFocus shows you which builders are issuing permits today, in your drive-time area, so you can be on the phone before the foundation pour.

How roofing contractors use PermitFocus
Three-step workflow most operators run weekly:
- Watchlist counties in your service radius and get email alerts the moment a builder pulls 10 or more permits in a 30-day window.
- Filter the builder directory by license type and permit volume.
- Track outreach in the built-in CRM: log calls, set follow-ups, never miss a builder you've talked to.
What roofing contractors get
Find new roof opportunities first
Permit data means you see issuance within days, not three months later when the roof actually goes on.
Rank builders by activity
Every builder is ranked by recent permit volume and 90-day momentum, so you know who to call first.
Map your service area
Drive-time isochrones for any location you operate from. See how many new-construction permits are inside a 30-minute drive, not a 30-mile radius.
Replace your stale lead list
Most roofers buy lead lists that are six months old. This data is refreshed weekly from authoritative public sources.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find new-construction roofing jobs before my competitors?
Every new home starts with a building permit, a public record filed weeks before ground breaks. PermitFocus collects those permits, identifies the builder behind each one, and shows you the most active builders in your service area, refreshed weekly, so you can reach out before the job is spoken for.
Are the permit leads exclusive to me?
Building permits are public records, so they aren't exclusive. PermitFocus's edge is speed and completeness: you see issuance within days, get the builder's ranked activity and contact path, and reach them earlier than a competitor relying on a six-month-old purchased list.
Which areas does PermitFocus cover for roofing contractors?
Every US county is covered at the market level, with per-permit builder detail in a growing set of markets. Florida markets like Hillsborough (Tampa), Broward, and Miami-Dade have deep builder-level data today, and more markets are added continuously.
How current is the permit data?
Permit data is refreshed regularly from authoritative public sources, so you typically see a new permit within days to about a week of issuance, not the three-plus months it takes for a build to become visible from the road.
How much does PermitFocus cost?
PermitFocus is $129.99/mo, cancel anytime. That replaces enterprise construction-data platforms that charge $15,000 to $30,000 per year.
