"From established subdivisions in Riverchase and Bluff Park to new construction in Trace Crossings and luxury homes in Greystone — Jeff Brown and Homepro-Birmingham bring more than 14,000 inspections and a builder’s eye to every Hoover home."
Hoover is Alabama's largest suburb and one of the fastest-growing cities in the Birmingham metro — a sprawling, family-friendly community south of the city known for the Riverchase Galleria, top-rated schools, and an enormous range of housing across neighborhoods like Riverchase, Bluff Park, Greystone, Trace Crossings, and Ross Bridge. From established 1970s and 1980s subdivisions to master-planned communities and brand-new construction still going up across the city, Hoover offers something for nearly every buyer. 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 Hoover and the surrounding communities.
Jeff has inspected homes across every corner of Hoover, and he knows how widely they vary. The city's growth happened in waves, so a buyer might be looking at a 1970s split-level in Riverchase one week and a brand-new build in Trace Crossings or a luxury home in Greystone the next — each with its own construction style and its own potential issues. As a nearby Vestavia Hills resident with a builder's background in single and multi-family construction, Jeff brings the experience to read each of these homes accurately, no matter the era or the price point.
Hoover's mix of older subdivisions and newer construction means inspection priorities shift from home to home. Established neighborhoods may carry aging roofs, original HVAC and water heaters, and decades of settling on Alabama's clay soils, while newer builds can hide rushed workmanship, drainage and grading issues, and incomplete details that surface within the first few years. Whether you're buying an established home in Bluff Park, a family home in Trace Crossings, or new construction in one of Hoover's growing developments, 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 Hoover inspection.

Answers to the most common questions Hoover-area homeowners ask before scheduling a home inspection.
A Homepro general home inspection is a complete top-to-bottom evaluation of the home's roof, foundation, structure, electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, attic, basement, and interior and exterior — following national standards as well as those of the State of Alabama. Every finding is documented with photos and explained in plain language.
