Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you serve?
Magic City Property Inspections Inc. provides professional home and commercial inspections throughout Central Alabama, including Birmingham, Trussville, Hoover, Leeds, Moody, Pell City, and surrounding communities.
What types of inspections do you offer?
We offer comprehensive residential and commercial inspections, including pre-purchase, pre-listing, new construction, and warranty inspections. Additional services include radon testing, pool and spa inspections, crawlspace evaluations, and thermal imaging.
How soon will I receive my report?
Most clients receive a detailed, easy-to-read digital report the same day as the inspection. Each report includes color photos, clear descriptions, and recommendations for repairs or maintenance.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Magic City Property Inspections Inc. is fully licensed and insured. We are one of only a handful of Certified Master Inspection companies in the State of Alabama with extensive training and experience in both residential and commercial inspections.
Do you inspect roofs, crawlspaces and attics?
Yes. When accessible and safe, we inspect roofs, crawlspaces, attics, basements, and other hard-to-reach areas to give you a full understanding of your property’s condition.
Do you test for mold, radon, or termites?
We do offer radon testing as an ancillary inspection. Most mortgage companies will require a Wood Infestation Report, which must be performed by a licensed pest control company. We are happy to help connect you with qualified companies to handle termite and mold
inspections if needed. With that said, when we observe mold or termite activity, it will be included in your report.
Can I attend the inspection?
You are welcome to attend as much or as little of the inspection as you want. We encourage you to consider arriving closer to the end of the inspection. We will have several hundred pictures to go over with you at that time so you can see everything that we see without having to get into all of the nooks and crannies of the house. Otherwise, we can always discuss the details of the inspection over the phone later in the day.
What if I have questions after the inspection?
We’re always happy to help. You can contact us any time after your inspection for clarification or follow-up questions about your report.
How long does a typical inspection take?
Most inspections take between two and four hours depending on the size and condition of the property. Larger or older homes may take longer.
Do you inspect commercial properties?
Yes. We provide detailed commercial inspections for office buildings, retail spaces, multi-family units, and other commercial structures throughout Central Alabama.
What areas do you serve?
We proudly serve the Greater Birmingham area including Homewood, Hoover, Vestavia, Pelham, Alabaster, Mt. Brook, Leeds, Moody, and Pell City.
