Let me start off by making you a BIG Promise. If we inspect your home or condo and you are home inspection birmingham al, home inspectors birmingham al, home inspectors in birmingham al
not 100% satisfied with our inspection – you pay absolutely nothing for the inspection.

After more than 16 years in the Home Inspection Business, I’ve seen many fly-by-night Home inspectors come and go. I feel sorry for the home buyers that are victimized by these unscrupulous operators.

I’m so confident in our inspections that I’m willing to put my money where my mouth is.

You see, I understand this is an important step in your life. This guarantee is just one more way to demonstrate my desire and commitment to meet and exceed your expectations. Also, I want to ensure you have an enjoyable real estate experience.

So at AB Home Inspections I offer a simple, no weasel words guarantee. Attend your Birmingham, AL home inspection, and if for any reason you’re not satisfied with the “Quality” of the home inspection service, tell the inspector before receiving your report and we’ll either make it right, or you don’t pay the home inspection fee!
