What changes

What this looks like in practice

Territory calls backed by filings you can open and read, not a vendor's black-box score.

A monthly read on the Triangle, Charlotte metro, Triad and coastal counties in one view.

A heads-up when a market you depend on cools off, while there's still time to shift spend.

Where to begin

The North Carolina filings worth watching

Pick one or two to start. Once you can see which ones turn into work for you, widen the net.

Mechanical momentum

nc.mechanical.momentum

Cities and ZIPs where mechanical permit volume is climbing above its own recent baseline.

Good for: Deciding territory coverage, hiring pace and where to spend ad dollars.

Reroof momentum

nc.reroof.momentum

Neighborhoods with a run of roofing work — often the same houses due for a system replacement.

Good for: Layer it over mechanical momentum to find whole-home upgrade pockets.

New residential starts

nc.newbuild.starts

Fresh single-family and townhome permits, with the builder named where the county publishes it.

Good for: Chasing new-construction install work instead of replacements.
