What RoofTech Consulting does

RoofTech Consulting, Inc. is a privately held, independent third-party building enclosure consulting firm headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, founded in 2001 by Cale Prokopf. The firm performs roof and exterior wall assessments, project design and construction quality assurance oversight, forensic investigations, and litigation support including expert testimony, serving commercial property owners, property managers, construction firms, legal/insurance clients, and municipal and institutional owners. Its technology stack centers on specialized field instrumentation rather than software: infrared thermography for non-invasive moisture detection, high- and low-voltage Electronic Leak Detection (ELD) / Electronic Field Vector Mapping (EFVM), FM 1-52 roof attachment uplift testing, and a broad suite of ASTM and AAMA standardized envelope tests (ASTM C1521, D5957, E783, E1105, E1186, E2357, E4541, F2170, AAMA 501.2/502/503). Operationally, the firm conducts 450+ assessments and develops 1,200+ reports annually, supervising $50M+ of construction project value per year while maintaining a 99.9% claimed customer satisfaction rate. Staff credentials include RRO, RRC, REWO, Certified Level I Thermographer, Tile Roofing Institute, and a Certified Electronic Leak Detection Agency designation, with project protocols conforming to IIBEC Manual of Practice and Standards for Ethical Practice. The firm is sales-led, pricing is custom project-based (no standard tiers), billing operates on multi-year contracts, and service delivery is direct at client sites across the Midwest, East Coast, and an expanding list of ~20 U.S. states. In 2020 the same ownership group spun off PaveTech Consulting as a sister firm to address paving and parking-structure consulting under the third-party independence model.
