"Thorough, honest, and experienced home inspections — proudly serving Birmingham and the surrounding communities with the integrity your biggest investment deserves."
Homepro-Birmingham is built on the belief that the purchase of a home is likely the largest and most exciting investment most people will ever make. Our job is to remove the guesswork — and the emotion — so you walk into closing with clear eyes and full confidence in the property you're about to buy.
Owner and lead inspector Jeff Brown has personally completed more than 14,000 inspections across the Birmingham area since 1990. From the foundation to the roofline, we evaluate the whole home, document everything thoroughly, and explain what we find in plain language you can actually use — with a comprehensive, easy-to-understand report and detailed pictures available the day of your inspection.
Meet Jeff BrownFrom comprehensive general home inspections to pre-listing evaluations and new-construction reviews, Homepro-Birmingham covers everything area buyers, sellers, and homeowners need.
Top-to-bottom evaluation of every major system — roof, foundation, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, structure, and more — so you know exactly what you're buying.

Learn More →Sellers — get ahead of buyer surprises. A pre-listing inspection lets you fix or disclose issues on your terms, not theirs, and helps your home sell faster.
Learn More →Even brand-new homes have defects. We inspect before your builder's warranty expires so issues get fixed on their dime, not yours.
Learn More →Duplexes, condos, and multi-unit properties get the same thorough evaluation — backed by decades of single and multi-family project experience.

"Jeff with Homepro is Great!! He is responsive, easy to work with, and does a great job! I would recommend him to all!"
"Jeff was great. Not only was he able to come on short notice, he was incredibly professional and extremely attentive to details. He was thorough, explaining all of the potential issues that he saw as he walked through and evaluated a house we were looking to purchase. He spent significant time searching for the furnace until he found it — I felt incredibly well taken care of. Thanks so much!"
"Jeff was outstanding to work with. I joined him during the inspection, and was able to learn everything about my home so I could understand where the weak points are. His experience and expertise are extremely valuable. Afterwards, he provided a detailed report with findings and pictures. Would recommend to anyone looking for a home inspection."
Answers to the questions Birmingham-area buyers, sellers, and homeowners ask us most.
A Homepro-Birmingham inspection evaluates all the major interior and exterior components and systems of the home — including the roof, foundation, structure, heating, cooling, ventilation, insulation, plumbing, electrical, and the lot. Jeff documents what he finds with photos and explains it in plain language, so you understand the condition of the home and the priority of any issues before you make your decision.
The day of your inspection. Homepro-Birmingham delivers a simple, comprehensive, easy-to-understand report with detailed pictures — available the same day — so you're never left waiting when you have decisions to make and deadlines to meet.
Jeff Brown founded Homepro-Birmingham in 1990 and has personally completed more than 14,000 inspections. Before that, he spent a decade in project management of single and multi-family housing. That hands-on construction background means he knows where problems hide and how homes are actually built — experience that directly benefits every client.
Yes — we strongly encourage it, especially for first-time buyers. While Jeff delivers a comprehensive written report with photos, being present means you can see issues firsthand, ask questions in real time, and learn how your home's systems actually work. It's one of the most valuable hours you'll spend before closing.
For an average-sized home, expect about 2 to 3 hours on-site. Larger homes, older homes, or homes with significant issues may take longer. Jeff takes the time needed to do the job right — no rushed inspections, no skipped systems — and your detailed report with photos is ready the same day.
Absolutely. Even brand-new homes have defects, and a new-construction or pre-warranty inspection lets you catch them while the builder is still responsible for fixing them. We also offer maintenance inspections so existing homeowners can stay ahead of small problems before they turn into expensive repairs.
