About Us

Gary Brown has been involved in one form or another of Customer Service all his life, including a few years as a Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) mechanic, and later as a Swimming Pool and Spa Technician.

Gary J Brown Owner/Inspector

He’s been a Do-It-Yourself (or Do It For Family, Neighbors and Friends) guy since his early teens. Besides the HVAC and pool work, he’s well-rounded, having done foundation, construction, roofing, welding, electrical and plumbing work, and he has served his community as a volunteer Fire Fighter.

You can see that Gary’s the type of guy who really enjoys helping others.

He’s also proud to have been an Electronics Technician aboard USS Nautilus, the world’s first Nuclear Submarine, while serving in the US Navy in the 1960’s.

When Gary bought his first home in 1972, his Realtor® mentioned that she’d never seen anybody check a house so thoroughly. Back then, almost nobody had heard of a professional Home Inspector. Today, many people think it’s foolhardy NOT to employ one!

His formal training was by Inspection Training Associates, (ITA), a division of Kaplan Professional Schools. Kaplan is an international company which offers specialized professional training, ranging from Architecture and Accounting to Financial Services, Information Technology and Real Estate. ITA is the world’s oldest, largest and most respected Home Inspection training school. Their instructors are the leaders of the industry.

Gary is also the ONLY Home Inspector residing in Kittitas County who is a Member of, or who has applied for Membership with the American Society of Home Inspectors (becoming a member of ASHI is a very lengthy and difficult process. We like it that way because it keeps the amateurs and the less committed “home inspectors” out). He’s a Candidate for membership with Washington State’s largest and most active local ASHI Chapter.

The accomplishment of which he is most proud is to have reared two children who are kind, generous and responsible people, good citizens and loving spouses, and great parents. What more could a Dad ask for?

Before moving to Kittitas County to be near his Grandchildren, who live here, Gary worked with Tim Hockenberry, a highly respected Home Inspector in Northern Virginia who also does House Detective and Inspector’s Notebook shows for Home and Garden TV (HGTV), and for the Do It Yourself (DIY) network.
