Melvin Stumler: Honoring a Lifetime of Industry Leadership

February 20, 2026 at 7:57 a.m.

Our industry thrives because of leaders who commit their lives to perfecting their trade. Melvin Stumler, founder of Insulated Roofing Contractors, was one of those leaders. SPFA extends its deepest condolences to the family of Mr. Stumler, who passed away on January 25, 2026.

Melvin’s dedication to the craft helped elevate the professional standards we all strive for today. By championing quality installations and fostering a culture of expertise at IRC, Melvin didn’t just build a company—he helped build the reputation of the entire spray foam roofing industry. We recognize his decades of service and the lasting footprint he leaves on our trade.
