BrickKicker, The
 

Home and building inspections. Operating our own business since 1989 gives us a unique insight into the entrepreneurial aspects required to be an impact player in the industry. We've packaged our experience into a dynamic, aggressive program, including a heavy emphasis on 'live,' on-the-job training. Every BRICKKICKER benefits from the roll up our sleeves attitude in which we operate.
