About Us

Building Performance Solutions is Southwest Florida’s leading independent testing and diagnostics company for mold, unhealthy air, and home performance issues. We are building scientists with over 30 years of experience who get to the heart of issues like poor indoor air quality, high humidity, moisture intrusion, mold, and HVAC failure. Our data-driven approach helps families create homes that are more comfortable, safe, and most importantly: healthy.

  • We are a completely independent, third-party consultant. We don’t sell products, offer repair services, or perform restorations. We do offer honest, unbiased information (and we’re happy to recommend contractors we trust to help improve your home). 

  • We hold over 35 different industry certifications, ranging in everything from indoor air quality to mold. 

  • We have deep local roots and extensive, Florida specific knowledge about how the humidity and heat affect building performance and construction.

Our job is to get to the bottom of your home’s problems and find the root causes that other contractors have missed.

Our diagnostic tests compile raw data about your home’s performance and health, which we use to create in-depth reports based on measurements, not opinions. Our reports give your family actionable insights and provide contractors clear directions on how to eliminate the problem.

Your Health Comes First: Our Approach

Building Performance Solutions specializes in helping families with health concerns create healthier, safer homes. Many clients come to us with similar situations: they may have chronic respiratory illnesses, a history of mold illnesses, or a child who’s always sick. Often, they feel like they’ve run out of options because neither doctors or contractors have been able to fix the problem. But we have a long history of finding answers where others couldn’t.

We’ve worked with families dealing with a wide range of medical conditions that are worsened by exposure to poor indoor air quality or mold, including upper respiratory problems, chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS), and PANS/PANDAS.

Our team is also trained on advanced remediation protocols for medically sensitive occupants. We have deep empathy for these situations and always treat our customers with respect and privacy.  

Overall, bad air quality affects everyone, even those without serious medical illnesses. The research behind the negative effects of mold exposure is overwhelming, so we do everything in our power to make our customers’ homes as healthy and safe as possible.
