The question is going to be who does brake work at a fair price and can handle a Class-A... That's going to be a smaller list.
You didn't mention a year, but the Fords have an oddball caliper mounting system that I don't care for. They also switched piston material on the calipers and I've had issues with some piston types sticking, causing damage.
A normal brake inspection is looking at pad depth and maybe rotor material.
My suggestion would be to have the calipers removed, cleaned up, pins re-greased and change the brake fluid, as it can absorb water. After all that work, new pads and the associated turning of rotors might as well happen too. At a Ford dealer, this will be around $1000...
If you don't want to go in for all that, have it inspected, but definitely flush the fluid.
