Littleville is a small Colbert County town along U.S. Highway 43 with a big August Fun Fest. John brings the same careful, honest inspection to every home here.
Littleville got its name from Benjamin F. Little, an early settler who opened a store by the tracks when the railroad came through in 1887. Iron ore mining and a sandstone quarry once supplied blast furnaces and buildings in Sheffield, and the town incorporated in 1956. Today U.S. Highway 43 runs right through it, roughly following Andrew Jackson's old Military Road, and folks gather for Fun Fest every August and tee off at Twin Pines. From his base in Florence, John Killen inspects homes throughout Littleville and the south end of the Shoals.
John owns the company and performs every inspection himself. He's a State of Alabama Certified Real Estate Inspector with a background in building maintenance, which helps him spot small problems before they grow. Buyers lean on his pre-purchase inspections, and sellers use pre-listing inspections to deal with issues before an offer comes in. His 5.0-star Google rating reflects meticulous detail and clear explanations.
Littleville has a mix of older homes and newer houses on wooded lots, and both face the same long, humid summers and strong spring storms. John checks roofs, gutters and drainage, and uses thermal imaging at no charge when he needs to verify a suspected leak. Because Colbert County ranks among Alabama's top counties for radon potential, ask about 48-hour testing too. Call or text John at 256-335-0028 and he'll get your Littleville inspection on the calendar.
