Anthony Lenard spent twelve years running an HVAC restoration company in Florida before a pattern became impossible to ignore: mold in homes with no obvious water source. Just humidity. Following that thread took him into mold assessment, then blower doors and duct testing, and eventually to Building Performance Solutions, a fully independent firm that tests, diagnoses, and writes the scope but doesn’t do the work.
In this episode, Peter and Anthony get into why the independent model has become a selling point (homeowners now ask if he’s incentivized by his recommendations), what the scope of a comprehensive envelope and HVAC testing protocol looks like, and why remediation that skips the moisture source almost never solves the problem. Anthony also talks about serving highly sensitive clients most contractors tend to fear, the client story that changed his career, and his advice for contractors who want to be the go-to installer for scopes like his.
