FACEBOOK ADS FOR ROOFERS

Facebook ads for roofers who want replacements.

Nobody opens Facebook looking for a roofer. That’s the opening: you reach owners of older roofs months before a leak forces a rushed decision.

WHERE IT BREAKS

Facebook & Instagram ads for roofers: what goes wrong.

01

Ads that look like storm chasers

Stock shingles and “FREE ROOF” in capital letters read like the door knockers homeowners already distrust.

02

One-tap forms on a big purchase

A form that takes two seconds is too easy for a decision this size. Your estimator ends up calling people who barely remember tapping.

03

Delivery with no boundaries

Without a tight service area, spend reaches people outside the routes your crews actually drive.

WHAT WE RUN

Built for roofers. Run by us.

Tear-off footage, filmed in person

We film your crew stripping and re-decking a real roof, then cut short ads that show what the homeowner can’t see from the driveway.

Spend paced to the season

Budget builds in the dry months before rain season, when a planned replacement still fits your crew’s schedule.

Clicks to a re-roof page

The ad’s promise continues on a page with materials, a size-based ballpark, and an inspection calendar.

Booked inspections fed back to Meta

The campaign learns from homeowners who booked, not from whoever tapped a form.

AN EXAMPLE WE WROTE

Example ad script: a 20-second roof-age ad (our sample, not a client’s ad)

  1. 010–3s, owner at the ladder: “Roof over 20 years old? Watch this before the rain.”
  2. 023–8s: crew peels back shingles, close-up of soft decking. Voiceover: “This is what we find under a lot of older roofs.”
  3. 038–14s: clean new install, then the magnet sweep in the driveway.
  4. 0414–18s, owner: “We’ll inspect it and tell you straight if it can wait.”
  5. 0518–20s on screen: license number, service area, “Book an inspection.”
  6. 06Lands on: the re-roof page, which asks roof age, material, and ZIP before showing the calendar.
Judged on

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Questions we hear.

Should roofers run Facebook ads only after storms?

No. Storm weeks are when every roofer is fighting for the same attention. Steady replacement work comes from owners who knew the roof was old and booked before it failed, and Facebook is good at reaching them early.

Facebook or Instagram for roofing ads?

Both run from the same Meta campaign. We let delivery follow what books, and we cut each video in vertical and square formats so it fits either feed.

Can the ad say the inspection is free?

If it’s free in practice, yes. If your inspection comes with conditions or leads to a paid report, the ad says so. We don’t advertise offers you don’t honor.

What daily budget should a roofer start with?

There isn’t one right number. Work backward from what a signed roof is worth to you and how many inspections your estimator can handle. Plug your numbers into the calculator here and it does the math.

Your crew is ready for the next job. Is your calendar?
