Your next roofing job in Oakland is on the street you just left.
The median Oakland home went up in 1957 — most of these roofs are on their third or fourth cycle, and the next one is a knock on the door away. Quillus mails the 100 homes nearest your last job — with a satellite view of their own roof — within 24 hours.

The roof stock
Half the homes in Oakland were standing before 1957. Whatever was nailed on most recently, the decking under it has seen generations of weather — these are tear-off jobs, not overlays, and the neighbors all face the same decision within a few seasons of each other.
The street math
At roughly 2,416 homes per square mile, Oakland is classic suburban density. Around a typical Oakland job site, the 100 nearest homes sit within about 440 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 Oakland home is worth $997,600 — a stable market where word-of-mouth and visible work win the job. Owner-occupancy sits at 48% — lower than most markets, which cuts both ways: fewer kitchen-table decisions, but the owners you do reach often hold multiple properties.
One finished roof. One hundred mailboxes. One day.

Roofing marketing in Oakland, answered with numbers.
135,348 mailable residential addresses carry a Oakland mailing address in the Quillus map (367 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 Oakland addresses against our map: the 100 nearest homes around a typical job site sit within about 440 feet (134 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.
Yes — it's a tear-off town. Half of Oakland's homes predate 1957, so most roofs are well past their first replacement and the work is full re-decks, not patch jobs.
The median Oakland home is valued at $997,600; up 1.7% between the two most recent ACS five-year estimates; 48% of occupied homes are owner-occupied; median household income is $129,700. 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 Oakland mailboxes while your sign is still in the yard.
Two places: the Quillus address map (155M+ geo-located U.S. addresses — the Oakland 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.
Your next roof in Oakland is one street away.
