Are you buying a home in Missouri?
A home performance analysis provides all of the same information that you would receive in a
home inspection report and much, much more.
Since 2008, the State of Missouri has regulated professionals who inspect the entire residential dwelling and produce detailed reports describing the home and its many parts in terms of safety, function and energy efficiency.
When you choose me to assist you in evaluating a home and its systems, you have chosen a Certified Professional Building Analyst who is certified by the State of Missouri as being formally trained in a wide and comprehensive range of building construction and building science, who participates in approved advanced continued education, has passed a comprehensive written evaluation and proven the ability to apply my skill and knowledge by passing a comprehensive field examination.
I am regulated by the State of Missouri Department of Natural Resources and am officially referred to as a “Certified Energy Auditor”. These requirements for certification exceed those for “home inspectors” in Missouri as well as in every other state in the nation.
While I am experienced and qualified at providing reports to home buyers describing the condition of a home they are planning to buy, I can also provide the benefit of a diagnostic home performance analysis.
Here are a few of the reasons why Missouri consumers prefer the services of a Certified Professional Building Analysts …
Unlike the unregulated “home inspector” who will open and close windows, test electrical outlets and operate mechanical devices to see if they work … I can perform a diagnostic home performance analysis and will test and examine the same things and more, for operation and efficiency — describing not only their condition but also commenting on how they are presently functioning and how they may be improved to save the owner money in their energy bills.
A diagnostic home performance analysis performed by me will not only assist a home buyer in learning about the home and its present condition but will also help him or her to learn how much it may cost to operate it, what it will cost to improve it and learn of any conditions that exist that could affect the health and safety of those who plan to live in it.
A diagnostic home performance analysis will include sophisticated testing and analysis of the home utilizing sophisticated electronic equipment such as blower door testing, infrared camera imaging and other diagnostic measuring equipment, when applicable.
A diagnostic home performance analysis report will fully describe the home and its systems as well as how the different systems work together to provide comfort, a healthy indoor environment and efficiency.
A diagnostic home performance analysis goes above and beyond what is typically described by a real estate salesman or a “home inspector” about how the home presently performs in providing a comfortable and healthy environment and will actually provide detailed recommendations on what can be done to improve its present condition.

“Jim was absolutely thorough. He checked every little nook and cranny and he personally showed and explained to me all of his findings, good or bad. His report was available online for me and my agent to view within 24 hours and included in his report were photo’s of each and every item along with the related detailed information. I felt like he was genuinely looking out for my best interest and he seemed to really care. This was my 3rd home purchase and by far the most efficient & thorough inspection I have ever had.” Millie White (Client) St. Louis, MO.
“When I have a customer that expresses a desire to have their potential home purchase checked out by an expert I never hesitate to give them Jim’s name. Having worked with him in the past I know that my clients will get an accurate and impartial assessment of their property. There are a lot of people that call themselves home inpectors but do not possess the working knowledge it takes to be a true professional and that is what makes Jim stand apart from the rest.” Elizabeth Webb (Mortgage Lending Officer) Branson, MO
“Living out of the state of Missouri, I found the “deal of a lifetime” on a house in Granby, Missouri. Before I purchased this house sight unseen, I decided to have an inspector look at it first. I called Jim and boy am I glad I did. He was very honest about what he found and gave me a very detailed list of things wrong with the house. When the time comes for me to purchase a home in Missouri, I will be calling Jim again before I sign any papers. He saved me about $70,000.00 in repairs to a home that was listed as good condition. Thank you so much Jim.” Linda Dewey (Client) Tulsa, OK.
