Roofing lead list calculator
For roofing companies that call or text storm leads, inspection requests and old estimates: estimate how much of a list is reachable, and what the dead numbers cost your team on every campaign. Every rate is editable; nothing is stored.
Why roofing lead lists go bad
- Web form and ad leads can carry a fake or mistyped number from someone who only wanted a price.
- Estimates from past seasons sit in the CRM while homeowners change numbers or sell the house.
- Purchased or shared lead lists can include numbers that were already dead when you received them.
- Numbers written down at the door or at a home show are easy to get one digit wrong when typed in later.
How to get your real numbers
- Pull a random sample of 500 to 1,000 numbers from your storm, inspection or old-estimate list.
- Validate it against live carrier data with TrueSearch for Business.
- Enter the dead, landline and VoIP percentages you get back above.
- Repeat per lead source to see which one sends you the most bad numbers.
Read about phone list cleaning, check allowed hours with the calling hours checker, remove repeats with the duplicate lead remover, or check single numbers with the carrier lookup.

Are the default rates typical for roofing lead lists?
No. They are editable placeholders, not industry statistics. Bad-number rates depend on where the leads came from and how old they are. Validate a sample of your own list and enter what you find.
Can I clean an export from our roofing CRM?
Yes, if it exports to CSV or Excel. Upload the file to TrueSearch for Business and download it back with each number marked valid or dead, with its line type (mobile, landline, VoIP or toll-free) and carrier.
Do landlines matter on a homeowner list?
Yes, in a different way for calls and texts. A home landline can still be the right number for a phone call, so do not delete it just for being a landline. Standard landlines cannot receive SMS, so they should come out of a text send.
Should I re-check old estimates before a follow-up campaign?
It helps. Numbers change over time, so a list of estimates from past seasons will usually have more dead numbers than last week's inquiries. Re-checking before you dial or text shows you how many are still reachable.
Does a valid result mean the homeowner agreed to be called or texted?
No. Validation checks the phone number, not consent. A homeowner who asked for an estimate once has not necessarily agreed to marketing calls or texts later, and purchased leads carry their own consent questions. Confirm your program with counsel.
Does this check consent or Do Not Call lists?
No. The calculator only estimates reachability, and a validation check covers validity, line type and carrier. It does not verify consent or check a number against Do Not Call or litigator lists. Keep your own opt-out records and use the official National Do Not Call Registry (donotcall.gov) where it applies.
This guide is general information, not legal advice. TrueSearch for Business checks validity, line type and carrier from licensed telecom data. It does not check the National Do Not Call Registry, state DNC lists or the FCC Reassigned Numbers Database. Not a consumer reporting agency; not for FCRA purposes.
