Storm Sniper Gives Roofing Contractors the First Move

New platform finds the storm, pulls the homeowner contacts, writes the outreach, and sends it. Before your competitors finish their morning coffee.

The Market Gap

Every year, billions of dollars in roofing insurance claims go to whoever gets to the homeowner first.

Not the best contractor. Not the most experienced one. The first one.

For decades, there has been no fast way to know where the storm hit, who owns the houses in that zone, and how to reach them before everyone else does. The information existed. It was just scattered across six different systems that did not talk to each other.

Nobody fixed that. Until now.

The Contractor Pain

Here is what the old way looks like after a hail event.

You drive the neighborhood to see where it hit.
You write down addresses by hand or take photos of mailboxes.
You come back to the office and try to figure out who owns each property.
You pay for a data pull that takes two days to come back.
You build a spreadsheet.
You write the same generic email to everyone and hope something sticks.
Meanwhile three other crews are knocking on those same doors.

By the time your email goes out, half the homeowners have already signed with someone else. Not because the other contractor was better. Because they were faster.

The Transformation

Storm Sniper changes what the morning after a storm looks like.

You open one screen. The radar shows you exactly where the hail hit and how big it was, verified by NOAA and the National Weather Service. You draw a zone around the affected neighborhood. The platform pulls every property owner in that zone with their name, address, phone number, and email address.

The AI reads the actual storm data and writes a personalized email to each homeowner. It knows their address. It knows the storm date. It knows the hail size. It tells them their roof may have damage and that you are the contractor who can help.

You review the emails and hit send.

The whole thing takes one session. You are in the car and headed to the first address while your competitors are still building their spreadsheet.

Roofing contractors are losing jobs every week because they find out about storms too late and have no fast way to reach homeowners. Storm Sniper fixes that. You know where it hailed. You know who lives there. You reach them before anyone else does.

The Platform

Storm Sniper is one login. Everything is included. Nothing like it exists in the roofing industry.

What Storm Sniper does:

Storm Sniper runs on Cloudflare's global edge network. The platform was built and is operated by Dick Gray of Goldmine Data. Sales and business development are led by Al Morell of Morell Group, who brings decades of roofing industry relationships to the launch.

Contractors can sign up at storm-sniper.com, enter a payment method, and start pulling storm data immediately. No sales call required.

Contractors who get to homeowners first are the ones who win the job. Storm Sniper makes that possible for any contractor, not just the ones with a big team behind them.
