About Us
Brown & Co. Property Inspections of Phoenix & Surrounding Areas
Certified & Professional
InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspectors.
At Brown & Co., we are committed to providing a high-quality, thorough, and personal home inspection experience. We are interNACHI certified and master home inspectors, which validates our expertise in the home inspection industry and demonstrates our commitment to continuing education and high professional standards. Our inspectors evaluate all components of a home, including the structure, foundation, doors & windows, appliances, heating/cooling systems, electrical, plumbing, exterior, roof, and attic. We use only the most modern tools available and provide a complete suite of add-on services such as pool/spa, termite, sewer scope, drone, and mold inspections. Our inspection reports are organized, contain clear photos and videos of issues identified, and are easy to read on any device. Our team is intentionally small, so we are easy to reach before, during, and after the home inspection is complete, and we genuinely enjoy teaching our clients about their homes.
We serve the entire Phoenix metro area, including Peoria, Glendale, Sun City, Surprise, Avondale, & Buckeye. We also frequently travel to the East Valley and other distant cities such as Wickenburg, Prescott Valley, Sedona, and more.
