History

Established in 2001.

Our owner, Mark Bashista, originally started this business out of professional curiosity, but more importantly, personal need. In the early 2000’s he started a business that renovated historic properties in central North Carolina. These homes were beautiful, fascinating, filled with history… and filled with leaks! They weren’t built to be heated the way we heat our homes today: with central heat/​A/​C units. This was a challenge to Mark: how to remain true to the historical nature of the house but to provide modern conveniences that today’s homeowners expect.

He was truly put to the test when he purchased a Carolina farmhouse, built in 1915, for his own family to live in. Installing central heat and air in a home whose walls and ceilings were made up of original, unsealed bead board was a lesson in how to waste energy and money. A lesson Mark had to learn quickly.

He took what he learned from his own home, as well as those he worked on for others and started Home Performance NC.
