What if a roofing contractor could show up at a homeowner's door with an aerial image of their damaged roof, before the homeowner even realized there was a problem?

That's exactly what Stormview AI, a drone-based roofing lead generation platform built by Bobby Quinn and his co-founders, is designed to do.

In this episode of The Roofing Millionaires, we sit down with Bobby Quinn - co-founder of Paypixl and Stormview, not to promote what he's building, but to put it through its paces. We ask the real questions: Does this actually work? Who is it actually for? What are the legal risks? What does it cost and what does the ROI actually look like? And where does this fit alongside everything else a roofing contractor is already doing to generate leads?

Bobby answers everything including the hard parts. He talks about 80% churn in their first two years, the AI accuracy limitations, the states where this is legally grey or outright illegal, and the roofers who signed up, never used it, and are now sitting on 14,000 unused scan credits.

This is not a product demo. This is the episode you watch before you decide whether something like this belongs in your business.

What we cover:

- What Stormview actually is and how it works from day one of signup

- How Hurricane Ian and a CBS 60 Minutes feature turned a drone pilot directory into a roofing tech company

- Why 50-70% revenue drops have forced roofing companies to shift from claims to retail — and why that changes everything about lead generation

- How the platform flies up to 500-600 properties a day and creates reports homeowners can see on their phone

- Why Stormview chose not to sell exclusive territories — and what that means for competition in your market

- The accuracy of the AI damage detection — and why Bobby says the inaccuracy actually helps the sales process

- The legal map: green states, yellow states, and why Texas is the one state you need to be careful about

- What happens if the yellow states turn red — and Bobby's honest answer about the regulatory risk

- The 10 touch point rule — why most roofers using the platform underperform because they stop too early

- Who the ideal Stormview customer actually is — and who probably isn't ready for it yet

- Where Stormview fits alongside door knocking, mailers, ads, and brand recognition — is it a replacement or an additional layer?

- What the next 3-5 years looks like as drone regulations tighten and new technology replaces what's restricted

- The bigger purpose behind what Bobby and his co-founders are building
