Illustrative project tracker
A project naming re-roofing fits your area. Save it and review its application date.
An in-app notification prompts you to reopen the same project's source. Review the change and its evidence.
If you make a call, add a private note: “Asked about re-roofing; confirm scope and purchasing status before following up.” Decide whether to act or keep watching.
Scope, filters and timing for Roofing
Matches come from published permit wording and are narrowed by supported filters. Read application, issue, source-update and observed-movement dates separately; they are not construction start dates, bid dates or buying windows. The reported estimate is the City's figure, not a budget or contract value. Use the available date filters and list sorts to order your research, not a personalized ranking or score.
Roofing scope: Roof replacement, repair and roof-structure wording is matched to Roofing, then filtered by building type and area.
Roofing timing: Use the source date to chase newer roof scopes first; older ones may already be contracted.
Roofing jobs: Re-roofing, Flat-roof membrane, Structural roof alterations, Parapets and drains.
AI research, contacts and provider charges
Explicitly requested AI-assisted research uses source-linked public-web information about a project, relevant business or professional person. Nothing runs automatically. Each research run you request incurs provider charges; availability depends on eligible account access, lead eligibility and provider configuration and controls. Findings remain unverified until checked, may be partial, and do not become verified project evidence. Check citations and professional role relevance; contact discovery is not guaranteed. No automatic outreach or dedicated Google or LinkedIn scraping is promised.
Private accounts, notifications and reports
Saving new jobs requires current qualified records and eligible signed-in access. Saved jobs, notes and reports are private to your account, including individual logins under shared billing; this is not a shared CRM. Notes do not schedule reminders. Changes to saved records appear as in-app notifications for eligible signed-in members, with no email, push or real-time monitoring promise. Reports require eligible membership: select projects, draft, review and confirm before downloading a PDF. Scheduled source checks can lag or fail; inspect each record's source date.
In setup, choose Roofing as your trade niche. You can revisit the choice in Settings.
Source policy · filtering uses published City records, and source checks are scheduled and can lag.
Source checks and qualification before outreach
- Scheduled City-source ingestion
- PermitClue is designed to ingest published City of Toronto records on a daily schedule. Source checks can lag or fail, so read the source date rather than assuming the record is current.
- Qualify before outreach
- Build a focused trade prospect list, not a list of confirmed buyers. A match does not confirm a buyer or purchase. Business contacts are shown as verified only when explicitly published and verified; unverified research is labelled separately. Outreach remains your team's decision.
Replacement, repair and structural roof alteration are different jobs
— qualified permit records
Verified count loads separately when available.
Default niche rules; direct, qualified source-backed matches. A permit can match several niches: do not add these counts together. These are not buyers, bids or purchase requests.
Official City sourceA reroofing of a low-slope commercial building, a structural roof alteration on a house and a repair are priced and staffed differently. The permit wording decides which one you are looking at.
Direct fit
Stated in the official record
- Roofing, re-roofing or roof replacement named in the work description
- Structural roof alterations stated in the published scope
- Roof-related wording tied to the permit record
Inferred fit
Plausible, but your judgement
- An addition or new building that will have a roof but does not describe it
- Exterior renovations that might touch roofing
- Older building types where roofing work is plausible
Not established
Verify elsewhere
- Roof area, membrane or shingle systems and specifications
- Whether a roofer is already engaged
- Minor cosmetic repairs that never needed a permit, which will be absent
A qualification workflow for Roofing
Choose Roofing in setup
Contractors choose a trade niche when setting up, and can change it in Settings.
Filter by building type and area
Commercial flat roofs and residential reroofs rarely belong in the same queue. Use building type, area and estimate filters.
Inspect the source wording
Confirm the record concerns roofing, and whether it is replacement, repair or structural change.
Save and revisit
Saved jobs are private. Source-backed changes show in-app for eligible members.
Source dates and overlapping niches
Read the date before the match
Every record links to its official source. Application, issue and update dates mean different things, and PermitClue checks official sources on a schedule that can be delayed. Always inspect the source date shown on the record.
One permit, several niches
Default niche membership overlaps. A single permit can qualify for more than one niche, so counts across niches must not be added together or read as a number of buyers.
Toronto, not the GTA
Coverage is City of Toronto permit data. Read how Toronto building permits work and the source-use policy.
Timing and weather windows are yours to judge, not ours
- PermitClue records dates from official sources; it does not publish bid or start dates.
- An issued permit may mean the roofer is already chosen.
- A later record may reflect work finished, so check before treating it as new.
- No status confirms an open roofing package.
More on permit movement and project timing. Timing is a prompt to research, not evidence that anyone is ready to buy.
A roofing handoff worth sending
- Permit identifier and the roof-related text
- Location and building context
- Dates with their meaning
- Open questions about stage and who to ask
Inside the app you can search permits with keyword, area, building type, estimate and scope filters, keep private saved jobs, and see source-backed updates to saved records in the app. Reports move from draft to review to confirmed PDF and need sign-in and eligible membership. Contact investigation runs only where a cited business role and freshness can be verified. See what PermitClue does.
Questions to ask before you rely on a match
Why might a roof job be missing?
Minor or exempt roofing work may not require a permit, so it will not appear in permit records.
Is a roofing match a sales lead?
It is a research candidate. Availability and buyer are not established by the permit.
Do suppliers use this too?
Yes, for research, with the same evidence limits. Roofing material suppliers should treat scope wording as context rather than an order.
