Broadcasting since 1984, per Jim’s official bio Spring, Texas
Jim Klauck is the broadcaster behind Check A Pro and The Radio Pitchman—connecting homeowners with checked home-service providers and helping contractors explain what makes their work worth choosing.
Two audiences. One reputation earned over four decades.
The story
According to his official bio, Jim began broadcasting in 1984. In 2005, after seeing how hard it was for homeowners to distinguish a dependable contractor from a risky one, he founded Check A Pro in Houston.
The idea joined careful provider onboarding with long-form radio: review license, insurance, and reference information, then let capable contractors teach before asking listeners to call. The Radio Pitchman and Contractors’ Stories grew from that same belief in informed conversations.
