Independent Expert Witness Firm
TONER Home Performance is an independent residential construction and mold expert-witness firm serving attorneys across Texas and the southern United States in both litigation and pre-litigation matters. We are retained to determine what actually went wrong in a home, why it happened, and who or what caused it - and to document that conclusion in language that holds up under scrutiny.
Our independence is structural, not a slogan. We do not sell remediation, perform the repairs we recommend, or carry any financial interest in the outcome of the work. That means our causation analysis answers to the evidence and the building science alone - a distinction opposing counsel cannot easily attack, and one that makes our testimony more durable on cross.
Pre-Litigation and Litigation Support
TONER Home Performance is a leader in residential-only pre-litigation and litigation matters across Texas and the southern United States. Our method is distinct and highly successful, and we scale the depth of expert criteria to precisely what the matter requires - no more, no less. We are available the moment a need arises, and we are at our most valuable when engaged early, before positions harden and before the cost and timeline of a dispute have run away from your client.
Every residential construction dispute ultimately turns on a single question: what actually went wrong, why, and how much does it cost? Most of the conflict, expense, and delay in these matters comes from the parties arguing over competing, incomplete, or self-interested answers to that question. Our role is to settle it - to establish an independent, building-science-based determination of causation that gives counsel a firm factual foundation to build a strategy on, whether that strategy is an early resolution or a contested trial.
Strategic Advantages
The facts of a building don't change with the procedural posture - but who establishes them, and how early, changes everything. An independent, defensible determination gives counsel leverage at every stage.
Pre-Litigation
Agreed-upon third-party technical evaluations that establish a neutral factual baseline. Resolve residential disputes early and cost-effectively within appropriate legal frameworks.
Litigation
Comprehensive expert witness support and single-point team coordination. We quarterback multi-discipline forensic investigations, reconcile causation, and deliver defensible reports in roughly two weeks.
Associations We Support
We're proud to support the legal community across Texas, including the Austin, Dallas, and Houston Bar Associations; the Houston Trial Lawyers Association; the Houston Young Lawyers Foundation; the Stonewall Law Association of Greater Houston; the Mexican American Bar Association of Houston; Texas Women Lawyers; and others.
We are excited to participate with these types organizations across the south moving forward.
