"From established subdivisions off Highway 31 to newer construction in Weatherly and Kentwood — Jeff Brown and Homepro-Birmingham bring more than 14,000 inspections and a builder’s eye to every Alabaster home."
Alabaster is one of Shelby County's largest and most established cities — a growing community south of Birmingham along I-65, known for its strong schools, family-friendly neighborhoods, and a steady mix of established subdivisions and newer development. Anchored by a busy commercial corridor and convenient interstate access, Alabaster has long been a destination for families seeking more space and value within easy reach of Birmingham. From the well-settled neighborhoods that grew through the 1980s and 1990s to newer construction in communities like Kentwood and Weatherly, the city offers a broad range of housing. Homepro-Birmingham, Inc. — owned and operated by Jeff Brown, an Alabama Licensed Home Inspector (HI-0205) with more than 14,000 inspections since 1990 — inspects homes throughout Alabaster and the surrounding Shelby County communities.
Jeff has inspected homes across Alabaster's many neighborhoods, and he understands how the city's housing varies by age and construction style. The established subdivisions that built out decades ago are now reaching the point where roofs, systems, and components need a careful, experienced evaluation, while the city's newer construction comes with its own set of things to check. With a builder's background in single and multi-family construction, Jeff brings the right eye to homes at every stage of life.
Alabaster's blend of established and newer housing means inspection priorities shift from home to home. Older subdivisions may carry aging roofs, original HVAC and plumbing, and decades of settling on Shelby County's clay soils, while newer builds can hide rushed workmanship, drainage and grading issues, and incomplete details that surface in the first few years. Whether you're buying an established home off Highway 31 or a newer property in Weatherly, Jeff personally walks the home with you, documents every finding with detailed photos, and delivers a simple, comprehensive report the same day. Call or text Jeff at 205-981-1460 to schedule your Alabaster inspection.
