The June 2025 RESNET HERS Builder of the Month is Starr Homes, building in Kansas and Missouri. Starr Homes is a premier custom home builder based in the Kansas City area, known for crafting architecturally distinctive homes with unmatched quality and attention to detail. With over 20 years of experience, Starr Homes offers a fully tailored design-build process to bring each client’s unique vision to life, creating homes that are as functional as they are beautiful. When asked why they build HERS homes, the Starr Homes team tells us, “We want our homeowners to feel confident that their home is built right. A HERS rating is an honest, third-party way to show that. We’re proud of the quality and care we put into every home and the HERS score helps us back that up.” As for marketing their homes, “We share information about HERS ratings on our website and use social media to help educate our audience about the benefits of energy efficient homes. It’s also a part of our conversations with new clients early in the process so they understand how the rating reflects the overall quality and performance of their home.” “Our clients appreciate the peace of mind that comes with having their home tested and verified for energy efficiency. They also value the long-term savings and the added comfort that comes from living in an energy efficient home. In fact, some people specifically seek us out because of how energy efficient our homes are, it’s something we’re deeply committed to at Starr Homes!” The team concludes, “We make sure all of our homes go through the HERS rating process because we believe energy performance matters for every homeowner. We work with Endeavor Home Performance and they’ve been a great partner! They give us detailed feedback during inspections which helps us fine tune each home’s performance. Having that extra set of expert eyes helps us make sure we’re always building at a high level!” Read the full profile here.
