LEADENGINE VS MODERNIZE

    A Modernize alternative for roofers who want the appointment, not the lead

    Modernize generates home improvement leads through its own web properties and sells them to contractors. Lead Engine calls homeowners for you and books the inspection.

    Modernize runs consumer facing home improvement sites, collects homeowner project requests, and sells those requests to contractors in matching categories and markets. For roofers that want raw volume to feed an inside sales team, it is a legitimate channel. The catch is the same across all lead resellers: the request may go to more than one contractor, and it still has to be worked into an appointment by your staff. Lead Engine delivers the finished product instead, a qualified roof inspection on your calendar.

    MODERNIZE

    Modernize is a home improvement lead generation company. It acquires homeowner project requests through its own digital properties and sells them to contractors by category and geography. Pricing and delivery rules are quoted per contractor rather than published, and shared delivery means the same homeowner request can reach more than one company. Confirm exclusivity terms and per lead pricing with Modernize directly.

    LEADENGINE

    Lead Engine is an outbound appointment setting partner for roofers. US based callers work your zip codes, qualify homeowners, and book inspections exclusively for you on a month to month retainer.

    Frequently asked questions

    How is Lead Engine different from Modernize?

    Modernize sells homeowner lead records generated on its own websites. We call homeowners in your zip codes and hand you a booked roof inspection that is exclusive to you.

    Do you sell leads?

    No. We book appointments. There is no lead list resold to other roofers.

    What does it cost?

    A monthly retainer with month to month terms after the first month. Modernize quotes per lead pricing by market rather than publishing it, so bring your current cost per lead and close rate to the call and we will compare cost per booked job.

    How quickly does the first appointment come in?

    Most roofing clients see their first booked inspection inside the first two weeks of calling.

    What if an appointment is not qualified?

    We replace it. Qualification criteria are agreed before we start dialing.
