Structera isn't built by Silicon Valley engineers guessing what contractors need. It's built by someone who's been in the field.
Jacob Welker runs Poor John's Plumbing in Kansas City. He built Structera because he knows what it's like to prospect blind — driving neighborhoods, cold-calling from the phone book, hoping the next building needs your services.
As a master plumber and trades business owner, Jacob built the tool he wished existed: a way to see which commercial buildings actually need work, who owns them, and the best way to reach them.
Over the years he's built deep friendships in the roofing industry. He watched contractors grind — cold calling random building managers, knocking without appointments, driving blocks hoping something looked promising. No data on whether the building even had a flat roof. No idea how old it was. No clue who actually owned it or whether they'd be receptive.
Meanwhile, all of that information — building size, construction year, ownership history, property type — was sitting in public county assessor records. Nobody had turned it into something a contractor could actually use.
So he built Structera. Every commercial property across 11 metros spanning 8 states, scored by roof replacement probability, ranked by opportunity, with owner data attached. The goal was simple: give contractors the same intelligence advantage that big developers and REITs have had for years.
We started with Jackson County and kept going — 625,000+ properties across 34 counties in 11 metros, all scored and live. We're expanding to every major metro across the country.
