Roofing companies with dead websites: how to find them and what to offer
To find roofing companies with dead websites, take the website address from each business listing, request it, and keep the ones that fail to load, then check each again on the day you call. As of 12 Nov 2026, 887 of the 13,029 sellable roofing companies in the 67Leads warehouse that list a website (7%) had a site that did not load when we last checked, and 582 of those have 10 or more reviews.

Shortcut: the roofing companies with broken websites page lists them by state and city, the website down checker tests one address, and the bulk URL checker tests up to 25 at once. The general method is in how to find dead business websites; this guide applies it to one trade.
Why a dead website is a warm lead
A roofing company that once paid for a site has already decided it needs one, so you do not have to explain why. A homeowner who clicks a roofer's listing and lands on an error page moves to the next name, and an owner often does not know it is happening until someone tells them. Roofing is also a trade where owners keep reviews and licences on the site, so a dead page hides the proof customers look for.
Step 1: Start from the dead-website list
Start from a list that already has the check done. These are the live counts for the trade today:
| Group | Businesses |
|---|---|
| Sellable roofing companies with a phone | 14,865 |
| Listing names a website | 13,029 |
| Listed website did not load | 887 |
| Website did not load, 10+ reviews | 582 |
| No website on the listing at all | 1,836 |
Each number is the count of listings that match today and it moves as the data refreshes. "Did not load" means the address failed when we checked, which can mean a lapsed domain, a hosting problem or a server that was briefly down, so a recheck matters.
Step 2: Confirm the site is really dead
Before you call, open the address yourself and write down what you see. The website down checker tests one address and the bulk URL checker tests a batch. The common results are:
- The domain no longer resolves. The registration probably lapsed.
- A parked or for-sale page. The domain changed hands or was left to expire.
- A server error or a hosting-suspended page. The site exists but the host has stopped serving it.
- A security or certificate warning. The site loads but browsers warn visitors away.
- It loads fine. The failure was temporary; drop the name.
Each result is a different, specific thing to say to the owner, and a name that loads is not a lead.
Step 3: Check the listing and the reviews
Open the map listing. A business with recent reviews and photos is still trading, and one that has gone quiet may have closed. For a roofer, glance at the photos and the most recent reviews: storm and repair work in the last few months means the business is active. Keep the ones with 10 or more reviews first: 582 fit today.
Step 4: Pick the states where the list is deepest
You will get further working one metro than the whole country. These are the states with the most sellable roofing companies in the warehouse today:
| State | Sellable | Verified email | No website | Owner named |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| California | 2,686 | under 1% | 23% | 8% |
| Texas | 1,756 | 2% | 10% | 12% |
| Florida | 980 | 1% | 12% | 11% |
| Illinois | 473 | 0% | 10% | 9% |
| Colorado | 445 | under 1% | 8% | 16% |
| North Carolina | 432 | under 1% | 6% | 13% |
| Arizona | 414 | under 1% | 6% | 15% |
| Ohio | 409 | under 1% | 6% | 16% |
| Washington | 380 | 1% | 10% | 13% |
| Michigan | 360 | 0% | 8% | 13% |
States with 50+ sellable businesses, largest first, live from the 67Leads warehouse.
Pick one state, open its page from the table or from the roofing companies with broken websites page, and take the cities with the most listings first.
Step 5: Pitch the fix
Tell the owner what a visitor sees, in one sentence, and offer to bring the site back. For roofers a good restored page has the services, the licence and insurance details, photos of finished roofs, the reviews already on the listing and a free-estimate form.
Offer one package with a price, what is included and a delivery date in writing. If you are unsure what to charge, how to price your first local business website walks through it. The guide to pitching a business whose website is down has the wording and the order of the conversation, and the cold call script for web designers has openers and objection replies.
Before calling or texting, read the rules for your state and the National Do Not Call Registry at donotcall.gov, and keep a list of anyone who asks you to stop. This is general information, not legal advice.
What to leave out
- Names where the site loads when you check. Do not tell an owner their site is down if it is not.
- Businesses that clearly moved to a new address and kept trading. Search the company name and the phone number before you call.
- Any claim about what the dead site cost them in revenue. You cannot know that.

Questions
How many roofing companies have a dead website?
As of 12 Nov 2026, 887 of the 13,029 sellable roofing companies in our warehouse that list a website had one that did not load when we last checked. That counts the listings we hold, not every business in the country.
Does a site that did not load mean the business is closed?
No. The business may still be trading with a lapsed domain or a host problem, which is why a recent review count and a recheck matter. Check before you call.
How do I tell a temporary outage from a dead site?
Test the address yourself on the day you call, and again a day later if you are unsure. A site that fails twice is a real lead; one that loads is not.
Should I pitch a rebuild or just a fix?
Say what you saw. If the domain lapsed, offer to restore it or move to a new one; if the host stopped serving it, offer to move it. Quote one fixed price for the option you recommend.
