Is your home misbehaving?
We're here to help.
About Us
TONER Home Performance is the leading building science consulting firm in the southern United States. Born in Houston, Texas, we are experts across all areas of residential construction, home forensics, mold evaluation, and building performance design and specification, with deep specialization in the hot-humid climate of the South. Because we consult rather than sell, we deliver truly independent, unbiased expertise - judged solely on the performance of our work.
What We Do
We offer three distinct services tailored to your needs and the stage of your home:
Forensics & Mold Assessment
Diagnosing and resolving home issues by examining the entire system - how the building, its microclimate, and the people inside it interact. We also bring expert-level skill to the most advanced methods of mold assessment, diagnosis, and remediation, and we communicate this back in clear, concise reports, and personal meetings.
Pre-legal & Legal Residential Experts
Leading/coordinating the entire expert team through every phase of pre- and post-litigation construction cases. We deliver extremely comprehensive reports and thrive in direct cross-examinations. We specialize in residential construction exclusively, with a focus on the southern United States.
Performance Design & Specifications
We apply the most comprehensive home performance design and specifications available for every type of residential construction - built on decades of real-world experience and the hard lessons learned from failures, misinformation, and the lack of climate-specific standards we've seen across other projects that we have corrected.
Why Choose TONER?
Independent by design
We consult rather than sell. That means truly independent, unbiased expertise - judged solely on the performance of our work, never on a product we're trying to move.
We know the hot-humid climate zone
25+ years of experience in the hottest, wettest environment in the United States. Our focus on climate migration makes us a leader in understanding how homes actually perform across the South.
We find the root cause, not just the symptom
Because we're experts in every aspect of residential construction, we diagnose homes holistically - tracing problems to their true source instead of treating them one symptom at a time, the way a single-trade contractor would.
Flat-rate pricing
We know who we work for. Homeowners, trades, and builders expect a single price and a clear deliverable - so we don't charge by the hour. We determine the best solution, find the most economical way to achieve it, and deliver it all for one flat rate.
Free case reviews and consultations
We always want to hear your story first, so we fully understand your needs - and we never charge for that. The more we learn from you, the more effective and economical our work becomes.
