Gowen Home Inspections

Mr. Gowen was very thorough with inspecting the house, and didn't mind at all that I "shadowed" him and asked a bunch of questions. He answered all of my questions thoroughly, showed me things about the house that was major and needed to be repaired by the seller before closing and what was not necessarily a big deal. His main concern was areas of safety, such as electrical issues, which the house had. It took him close to three hours to inspect and take photographs. Mr. Gowen provided the inspection report the following day. 4 days before closing, I asked Mr. Gowen to reinspect the house, mainly to see if the requested repairs had been done by the seller. Most everything had been repaired, except for the GFCI outlet which I asked my realtor get it done before closing. Since this is my first home, Mr. Gowen has been very nice to answer my questions via email and a phone call after closing on a couple of things. I also have to say that my realtor was not particularly happy with my decision to choose my own home inspector after he gave me a list of his picks because of the fact that Mr. Gowen was so thorough. Should I ever buy a home again, I will call Mr. Gowen.
