Door to door

Canvassing that respects the street.

Work a tight footprint, say why you are there, and ask for one clear next step.
Territory Before the knock

Give each rep ground the team chose on purpose.

Use the hail map, an active project, or a chosen neighborhood to keep canvassing coherent and stop reps overlapping.

Inspection After the knock

Make the inspection the ask, not the claim.

The doorstep conversation earns permission to look. Findings, scope, and coverage come after there is evidence from the roof.

The sales route

From reason to next step.

The order matters. Each stage earns the one after it.

The door pitch: Keep the door pitch specific and low-pressure: why the team is on this street, what the inspection can establish, and the smallest useful next step. “We’re checking this area because it was inside last week’s hail swath. If you’d like, I can inspect your roof and show you what is actually there.”

01 Prospect

Start with a specific reason to be on the street: a fresh storm date on the hail map, an active jobsite, a referral, or a territory the company chose on purpose.

02 Inspect

Book and perform the inspection. Document what is actually on the roof. Radar can rank the visit; the roof supplies the evidence.

03 Present

Walk the homeowner through findings, options, timing, and the insurance path where relevant. Make the recommendation clear before you discuss the signature.

04 Follow up

Leave every conversation with a named next step and a date. A disciplined second and third touch keeps qualified work from becoming a forgotten maybe.

Four objections

Four objections. Four useful responses.

The goal is clarity and a next step, not winning an argument at the door.
THINK

“I need to think about it.”

Give the decision room, but keep a next step: “That makes sense. Let’s put the inspection on the calendar so you have real findings to think about.”

QUOTES

“I’m getting other quotes.”

Welcome the comparison. Show the homeowner which scope, material, warranty, and payment lines should match across bids, then make your own estimate easy to check.

COVER

“Insurance won’t cover it.”

Do not promise coverage. Explain that an inspection documents the roof’s condition and that the carrier makes the coverage decision under the policy.

KNOCK

“You knocked, so you must be desperate.”

Lead with the reason for the territory without claiming damage: “We’re inspecting this street because it was inside last week’s hail swath. I can check your roof and show you what is actually there.”

Radar tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Hail data is aggregated from public storm reporting and radar products; estimates are approximate. Contact availability varies by address. Insurance coverage decisions belong to the carrier under the policy.
