About

When a storm hits, we fill your calendar with booked appointments.

Here's how we got here.

Hail Strike started when a meteorologist and a data engineer realized they could detect storm damage, find the affected homeowners, and connect them with a contractor — all before the homeowner even called their insurance company. Today we book thousands of verified appointments every storm season.

Our journey

2021

The idea

Marcus and Sarah meet at a weather-tech hackathon and prototype the first storm-to-appointment system.

2022

First appointments

Launched beta with 25 roofing contractors in Oklahoma. Booked first verified appointments within minutes of a hail event.

2023

Scale

Grew to 500+ contractor partners across 20 states. Refined the calling process and verification system.

2024

National reach

Expanded to 42 states with exclusive territory model. Crossed 1,000 contractor partners.

2025

Booked appointments

Shifted to a pure appointment model — $297 per verified, booked appointment. No more lead lists.

Weather experts, data engineers, and roofers — building something none of those disciplines could create alone.

What we stand for

Every appointment is verified

We confirm the storm, confirm the homeowner, and confirm the appointment before it hits your calendar.

Your territory. Nobody else's.

When you claim a territory, those appointments are exclusively yours. No shared lists, no competition from our network.

Appointments, not names on a list

We don't sell data dumps. We deliver booked appointments with homeowners who are expecting you.
