Walk roof lines
before the storm adjuster does.
Plattwise reads Open Data KC, MARC, and the metro-county planning portals every business morning — turning re-roof, tear-off, and storm-recovery filings into one-page briefs with full address, scope, and valuation. Deck and soffit cues are part of every brief; the storm-line hail cue joins them when the scope reads like recent hail or wind.

Your trade on the Plattwise feed
Re-roof / tear-off / storm, not a national firehose.
KC roof permits come from five public sources. They are short-form filings (most re-roofs and storm-restorations run under five business days), so the morning sweep is the only place you catch them all.
Each brief carries the deck and soffit line — your scope-walk starting point — and the storm-framing line when the scope reads like hail or wind. No marketing copy; no “Reply YES to claim the lead” chaff.
This week’s signal: three roof pulls — an Overland Park storm-recovery on a hip roof with a detached garage, a Lee’s Summit standard re-roof on a ranch, and a Liberty bungalow on the hail line.
What you do: walk the Overland Park attic first (storm-restoration plus garage roof), bid the Lee’s Summit standard tear-off with a decking contingency, and walk the Liberty bungalow’s chimney flashing and apron now. The hail-cue line tells you to line-item gutters and window trim in those bids.
What Plattwise did: read the filings, ran the ROOFER filter, surfaced the deck + soffit cue, and tagged the storm-framing line on the two storm-restoration briefs. Queued for your 7:41 a.m. CRM push.

Why roofers use Plattwise
Built for KC roof-shop lead flow.
Independent roof shops run lean. The morning brief is how they stay booked two weeks out without buying leads.
Pull a roof permit ahead of the storm adjuster.
Storm windows are short. Plattwise runs the morning sweep on Johnson, Jackson, and Clay counties plus the City of KCMO and surfaces the storm-recovery filings by trade before the public adjuster routes them to a competing shop.
Read the deck and soffit from the filing.
“Watch the deck and soffit lines” is part of every brief because most tear-offs uncover rot you do not see from the street. Bid the deck repair contingency up front — fewer change orders mid-job.
Storm-season oversaturation, surfaced cleanly.
When the hail line crosses Johnson County you do not want 200 unrelated re-roof leads. Plattwise tags ROOFER on the filings, on the tear-offs, on the storm-restoration scopes — and filters out the roof patches masquerading as Mechanical.
