Meet Your Host… Jim Klauck

Jim Klauck — widely known as “Check A Pro Joe” — is a nationally recognized radio host, direct-response strategist, and consumer-advocacy leader who has spent more than two decades helping homeowners connect with trustworthy home-service professionals. As the founder of Check A Pro and the host of the Check A Pro Radio Show, Jim has built a reputation as one of the most respected voices in the home-improvement, contractor-referral, and direct-response radio space.

Jim’s broadcasting career began in 1984, when his passion for radio, communication, and compelling storytelling took him into the world of broadcasting. Over the years, he developed a unique skill: the ability to educate, entertain, and motivate listeners all at once. That signature style would eventually evolve into what he’s best known for today — a blend of helpful homeowner guidance and powerful direct-response messaging that inspires trust and action.

In 2005, after seeing homeowners struggle to find reliable, vetted contractors, Jim created Check A Pro — a service designed to connect homeowners with carefully screened, reputable home-service providers. His mission was simple: help people avoid the frustration, stress, and financial risk of hiring the wrong contractor. What began as a small, local initiative quickly grew into a respected platform, leading Jim to launch the Check A Pro Radio Show, where he interviews expert contractors, shares practical home-maintenance tips, and explains how homeowners can protect their investment.

Listeners soon came to know him as Check A Pro Joe, a friendly and trusted voice who breaks down complicated topics and makes them easy to understand. Whether discussing HVAC systems, plumbing issues, roof repairs, home generators, or energy-saving solutions, Jim delivers each message with clarity, authenticity, and the intention of helping the homeowner first.

Over the years, Jim has interviewed hundreds of contractors, vendors, and industry leaders, creating one of the most extensive libraries of homeowner education content in the home-service sector. His interviewing style is conversational but pointed; informative yet entertaining. He knows what homeowners want to know, the questions they’re afraid to ask, and how to uncover the information that helps them make smart decisions about their homes.

In addition to his radio career, Jim is an advocate for ethical business practices within the contractor community. He champions transparency, customer service, and workmanship, encouraging contractors to rise above industry stereotypes. Homeowners appreciate his honest, no-nonsense approach, while contractors admire his ability to elevate their credibility through thoughtful interviews and trusted endorsements.

Today, Jim continues to host and produce the Check A Pro Radio Show while expanding Check A Pro’s services and media presence. He regularly collaborates with local businesses, marketing professionals, and industry leaders to help more homeowners access reliable home-service solutions. His work remains rooted in his original mission: empower homeowners with knowledge and connect them to contractors they can trust.

Whether he’s behind the microphone, coaching a contractor on effective advertising, or developing new radio programming, Jim Klauck remains dedicated to helping others. With over 40 years in broadcasting, more than two decades in home-service media, and an unwavering commitment to consumer advocacy, Jim has become a trusted household name in the markets he serves.

Jim Klauck — “Check A Pro Joe” — is more than a radio personality. He is a teacher, a connector, and a champion for homeowners who deserve quality, integrity, and peace of mind.
