Why AI Labs Pay $250K to $450K+ for Roofing, Solar, ServiceTitan & Procore Files
When I tell a roofing, solar, HVAC, or building owner that AI labs will pay $250,000 to $450,000+ for copies of their old software files, they usually laugh first. Then I show them the math and the wire receipts. Here is why your trade software history is so valuable.
1. AI Bots Know Poetry—Not Roofing or Building
Today's AI bots can write a poem or pass a test because those things are all over the free web. Ask that same bot to price a roof after a hail storm, route 40 HVAC trucks in July, or spot a bad change order in Procore, and it fails.
Why does it fail? Because real trade work never gets posted on public blogs. It lives inside private tools like ServiceTitan, Procore, JobNimbus, AccuLynx, Housecall Pro, Buildertrend, Aurora Solar, and Sage 300.
Every job ticket shows a real problem, a real parts list, a real price quote, and the final bill. To an AI lab, 5 to 10 years of those job records is pure gold.
2. What I Do for Trade & Building Owners
I am JC Burrows. I run ZoomReferral (zoomreferral.com) and help business owners get paid $100,000 to $2,000,000+ by major AI companies for copies of their old everyday software files at $0 upfront cost.
Alongside my data brokering desk, I also offer a $999 150-Point AI Readiness Checkup and $7,500/month part-time Chief AI Officer leadership to help trade shops automate dispatch, quoting, and office work safely.
3. Three Real Closed Deals in the Trades
Here are three real trade deals that closed through my desk:
Roofing Company (85 Workers): Licensed 8 years of ServiceTitan job tickets, roof photos, QuickBooks bills, and 38,000 hours of saved dispatch calls.
General Builder (110 Workers): Licensed 9 years of Procore daily logs, RFIs, change orders, Sage 300 cost codes, and Bluebeam PDF plans.
Solar Installer (60 Workers): Licensed 6 years of JobNimbus job files, HubSpot sales notes, and Aurora Solar roof layouts.
4. How It Works From Start to Cash Wire
I make sure your office staff does not get stuck doing tech work. Here is how my 4-step process works:
- Step 1 — 60-Second Check: You tell me which trade apps you use, how many trucks or workers you have, and how many years of records sit in your account.
- Step 2 — Direct Match Under a 2-Way NDA: I match your shop with two major AI buyers who sign a 2-way NDA before looking at a small sample.
- Step 3 — Automatic Privacy Cleaning: Before any full copy moves, fast privacy tools strip out homeowner names, phone numbers, street addresses, emails, cards, and caller voices. Two people check the cleaned files.
- Step 4 — Cash Wire Transfer: The winning AI buyer wires your cash payout straight to your bank account in 14 to 30 days.
5. How It Benefits Your Shop & Why Work With Me
How does this help your business? You keep 100% ownership of your files, pay $0 out of pocket, and turn old software records into cash. None of your homeowners are ever called, and no local rival ever sees your customer list.
Why work with me? I sit on your side of the table, bring 20+ years of operations leadership and real AI engineering since 2018, and get two major AI buyers competing for your files. Because two buyers bid against each other, my trade clients get 40% to 80% higher payouts than single-buyer offers.
6. Common Questions Trade Owners Ask Me
Will ServiceTitan or Procore get mad if I license my records? No. Under every standard software contract, you own your job records. You have every right to export a read-only copy of your own business history.
Do I have to pay anything if my files do not qualify? Never. My 60-second check is 100% free. You pay $0 out of pocket from start to finish.
How much time does my office manager have to spend on this? Almost none. My team does the heavy work for you. Most of my roofing, solar, and building clients spend less than two hours total from our first call until the cash wire hits their bank.
