20 years ago, who would imagine that we as home inspectors would be using all of this technology just to inspect a house! This new age has literally dragged home inspection into the 21st century. "Old Joe's" hand written inspection reports may still be as accurate as they always were, but who has time to try and read his "Chicken Scratch." Real Estate Inspectors must now combine knowledge of construction, manufacturing, installation, and functionality with skills such as communication, research, photography, and not to mention typing! Then, combining the whole package and putting it in a clear, easy to understand report in a short amount of time.  It all comes down to good communication. Being able to interpret how well a client understands an issue that has come up in an inspection, and how well the inspector communicates those issues should be considered. Simply putting a report together of what's wrong with a particular property is not completing the inspection. An inspector should also be able to inform a potential buyer how something works, or how to operate and care for something that they may have never had experience with (Gas water heaters, Swimming pools, A/C systems an so on.)

Having been in customer service for most of my life, I understand the needs of people that hire me as their inspector. I hope that I have been able to put that whole package together to better serve you, my future clients. So, let me have the "1st Look!"

1st Look Home Inspection

Hello,

My name is Tom Blowers I am the owner and lead inspector of 1st Look Home Inspection. T.R.E.C. 6925. We are based in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex, and we serve all of the surrounding counties. I have been an inspector for 4 years now, and we do 300 plus inspections a year.

I am still currently employed by a major Airline as an International Flight Attendant, My Wife is also a Intl FA. After 9-11 I really began to understand that it was time to move on and have a career of my own.

I had alway been interested about home inspection, after buying our 1st house. Our inspector was very interesting and had a wealth of knowledge about homes and the things around them and in them.

Being raised in a family that my Dad has started his own Air Conditioning and Heating service when I was young. Mechanical things came naturally to me, Yes I was one of those kids who took things apart to figure out how they worked. (if I can't fix it, it ain't broke). My Dad still say's the best mechanic in the family does not work for the family business.

At 1st Look Home Inspection we have taken that same commitment that my Dad made so many years ago, and applyed it to our company. Honesty, Timeliness, Professional approach and commitment to providing the best Home Inspection service in the area.

So if your in the market for a new home around Dallas/Ft. Worth Let us take The "1st Look"
