01 / Inputs
Where the data comes from.
This build contains 313 published business records; 193 include a matched Connecticut home improvement contractor registration number. The build snapshot is 2026-10-30.
- Business records: Overture Maps place data and Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection HIC registry records, as normalized in the supplied published dataset.
- Website-title evidence: fields already present in the supplied enrichment data. Roofline does not crawl or revalidate those sites during this static build.
- Housing context: Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development, Annual Housing Permit Data By Town, 1990–2025, dataset stm9-38x4. Retrieved in the source data on 2026-10-29.
- Current registration check: visitors are directed to the Connecticut eLicense lookup. Roofline does not claim that its snapshot is a live check.
02 / Language
What the labels actually mean.
- Registration matched
- A state registration number is attached to this business in the supplied dataset. It is not a live status check or endorsement.
- Registration not matched
- No registration record was attached by the pipeline. Naming, trade-name, and matching limitations can contribute; this is not an accusation.
- Stated service
- A tag supported by words in the business name or available website title. It is not a complete capability list.
- Not in current data
- The field is absent. The site does not infer a fact from that absence.
- Housing permits
- All covered annual housing permits in the DECD source—not roofing-permit counts.
- Shortlist
- Your selection stored locally. Saving does not signal a score, recommendation, or transmission to the business.
03 / Ordering
No hidden quality score.
Directory results default to alphabetical order. Town and registration-first sorting are explicit data operations. There are no star ratings, “best” badges, paid positions, or sponsored links in this build. Exclusive introductions have a disclosed contractor acceptance fee, independent of organic ordering.
If paid placement is introduced later, it should be visibly labeled, use appropriate sponsored-link treatment, and remain separate from organic ordering and trust indicators. Factual corrections should never require payment.
04 / Math
The calculator shows its work.
For a simple footprint, rough sloped area is length × width × pitch multiplier. The pitch multiplier is the secant of the roof angle. Area including waste is sloped area × (1 + waste ÷ 100). Roofing squares divide that result by 100.
The model is intentionally limited: it excludes overhangs and does not model complex geometry or product packaging. It is not a material order or price estimate. Bid coverage counts non-empty fields and says nothing about bid quality.
05 / Boundaries
What this prototype does not do.
- No live registry verification, weather feed, independently confirmed availability, insurance verification, or contractor recommendation.
- No visitor accounts or server-side storage of project-workspace inputs. Explicit introductions, corrections, subscriptions, and consented analytics use separate API records; project fields are not included in analytics.
- No invented ratings, reviews, testimonials, prices, certifications, service areas, or permit requirements.
- No assurance that the dataset includes every contractor serving a town or that source details remain current.
Confirm consequential details with the business, the Connecticut DCP, the local building official, and appropriate qualified professionals.
