Katy's housing stock is young (median build year 2005) — 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 — and the cards land in about a week.

Katy skews new — median build year 2005. 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 1,475 homes per square mile, Katy is classic suburban density. Around a typical Katy job site, the 100 nearest homes sit within about 430 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 Katy home is worth $363,200. 77.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, so the person reading the card is the person who signs the contract.

Enter the job-site address. Quillus pulls the 100 physically closest Katy 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.
163,879 mailable residential addresses carry a Katy mailing address in the Quillus map (174 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 Katy addresses against our map: the 100 nearest homes around a typical job site sit within about 430 feet (132 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.
Knocking those same 100 doors in Katy means walking about 1.6 miles — about 26.5 meters between doors — and that is a straight-line lower bound, before streets, fences and dead ends. Mailing them is one action. Knocking still converts better per conversation, so the honest answer is that they do different jobs: the walk is the reason you cannot do it after every job, and the mail is the reason you do not have to. One wrinkle here: Katy averages 1.8 mailable addresses behind every physical entrance, so a mail wave reaches meaningfully more homes than a walk down the same street does — apartments get their own card, but a knocker only gets one door.
It's a repair-and-storm market more than a tear-off market: the median home went up in 2005. The roofers who win here are the ones the street already knows when the first replacement wave arrives.
The median Katy home is valued at $363,200; 77.7% of occupied homes are owner-occupied; median household income is $126,200. In plain terms: real equity in the house, and the decision-maker usually lives under the roof you would be replacing.
About a week. 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 within a couple of business days — then USPS first-class puts them in Katy mailboxes while your sign is still in the yard.
Two places: the Quillus address map (155M+ geo-located U.S. addresses — the Katy 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.
