The roof stock
With a median build year of 1978, San Luis Obispo's typical roof deck has carried at least one full shingle cycle, often two. When one house on a 1978-era street replaces, the rest of the street is staring at the same actuarial table.
The street math
San Luis Obispo is spread out — about 360 homes per square mile. Around a typical San Luis Obispo job site, the 100 nearest homes sit within about 300 feet — we measured it against our address map, not a ZIP-code guess. When homes sit this far apart, yard signs don't carry; a card in the mailbox is how the neighborhood finds out who did the work.
The customer
The median San Luis Obispo home is worth $954,000, up a steady 6.1% across the last two ACS five-year estimates — owners here are invested, not flipping. Owner-occupancy sits at 42.3% — 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.

Close. We sampled real San Luis Obispo addresses against our map: the 100 nearest homes around a typical job site sit within about 300 feet (92 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.
