Duluth's housing stock is young (median build year 1996) — which means repair calls, storm claims, and the first big replacement wave still ahead. Quillus mails the 100 homes nearest your last job — with a satellite view of their own roof — within 24 hours.

Duluth skews new — median build year 1996. The play here isn't tear-offs on every corner; it's storm response, repairs, and being the name the street already knows when the first replacement wave lands.
The street math
At roughly 1,362 homes per square mile, Duluth is classic suburban density. Around a typical Duluth job site, the 100 nearest homes sit within about 530 feet — we measured it against our address map, not a ZIP-code guess. That's a one-street radius: the people who watched your crew work all week.
The customer
The median Duluth home is worth $441,900 and climbing — up 11.6% between the last two ACS five-year estimates. Owners protecting that kind of appreciation don't cheap out on the lid. Owner-occupancy sits at 48.4% — lower than most markets, which cuts both ways: fewer kitchen-table decisions, but the owners you do reach often hold multiple properties.

Enter the job-site address. Quillus pulls the 100 physically closest Duluth homes from its address map — the actual street, not the whole ZIP.
Each neighbor gets a postcard with your finished job on the front and a satellite view of their own roof on the back — in mailboxes while your sign is still in the yard.
Every card carries its own QR code tied to one address. See which neighbors looked, when, and follow up on the warm ones.
45,834 mailable residential addresses carry a Duluth mailing address in the Quillus map (106 Census block groups). You don't mail all of them — Quillus finds the 100 homes physically closest to a job you just finished and mails only those, so every card lands on a street that watched your crew work.
Close. We sampled real Duluth addresses against our map: the 100 nearest homes around a typical job site sit within about 530 feet (163 meters). That's the same street and the next one over — not a ZIP-code blast across town. That distance is the campaign's proximity radius — the working unit of proximity mail marketing.
It's a repair-and-storm market more than a tear-off market: the median home went up in 1996. The roofers who win here are the ones the street already knows when the first replacement wave arrives.
The median Duluth home is valued at $441,900; up 11.6% between the two most recent ACS five-year estimates; 48.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied; median household income is $92,300. In plain terms: real equity in the house, and a meaningful share of owners hold more than one property — one good job can mean several roofs.
Inside 24 hours. Finish the tear-off, snap the photo, pick the 100 nearest homes on the map, and the cards are printed and in the mail stream the same day — in Duluth mailboxes while your sign is still in the yard.
Two places: the Quillus address map (155M+ geo-located U.S. addresses — the Duluth home count and street-distance figures are measured from it directly) and the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey 5-year estimates (2024 vintage) for home values, build years, and occupancy. Figures are city-level aggregates, refreshed when new ACS data ships.
