Built for these use cases

One data feed, multiple ways to use it. Pick the use case that matches your business.

Roofers

13+ permits/day

Across St. Tammany, EBR, and Livingston.

The insight

Permit volume by zip code shows you exactly where competitors are landing work and which neighborhoods are entering active roofing cycles.

The use case

Daily zip-code-level roofing permit volume helps roofers allocate marketing budget to neighborhoods with active building activity, track competitor presence in their service area, and time canvassing when work is visibly happening.

Sources: LA SLBC permit data · public county records

Solar installers

89%

of solar installers reject roofs older than 7 years.

The insight

Roofing permit volume in your service area is a 12-month leading indicator for solar market density — fresh roofs enter the solar-eligible window 1–3 years after replacement.

The use case

Track which zip codes are accumulating recent roof permits. These are your highest-density solar opportunity areas 18 months from now. Aggregate roofing permit data by neighborhood = your medium-term solar market map.

Insulation contractors

89%

of US single-family homes are under-insulated (NAIMA).

The insight

HVAC permit volume is a leading indicator of insulation demand — when HVAC permits spike in a neighborhood, insulation purchases follow.

The use case

Daily HVAC permit volume by parish helps insulation contractors identify neighborhoods entering the active energy-improvement cycle. IRS §25C credit alignment with HVAC permit timing makes the data actionable for seasonal marketing.

Pest / wildlife exclusion

$12.6B

US pest control industry, up 7.9% in 2024.

The insight

Roofing permit clusters predict wildlife exclusion demand — fresh soffits and fascia change the entry-point landscape for the next 30–60 days.

The use case

Track roofing permit volume in your service area to identify neighborhoods entering the wildlife exclusion window. Useful for operational planning, marketing spend allocation, and territory focus decisions.

Landscape / sod / pavers

$65,909

average US in-ground pool. ~100,000 installed annually.

The insight

Pool permit volume predicts hardscape and landscape restoration demand within 4–8 weeks of permit issuance.

The use case

Track pool permit volume by parish to forecast hardscape demand 2 months out. Aggregate data helps landscape contractors plan crew allocation, material orders, and territory expansion timing.
