Have used Atlanta Property Inspections several times for my buyers. Their team is always very thorough and educational for the new home owners. Much information is shared about past/current codes, potential issues and how to have the issues repaired. I will continue to use Atlanta Property Inspectors for future inspections, and my clients have been very happy with their services as well!
Dustin was absolutely amazing. He did such a thorough job and was super friendly and helpful in explaining everything to me as a first-time homeowner. Highly recommend this company! Very timely and professional throughout the entire process as well!
Atlanta Property Inspections came to do a pre-purchasing inspection on a home my husband and I plan to buy! We had a very short due diligence period, but that was no issue for these guys. They fit us in their schedule on very short notice and were such a pleasure to work with. Cary and Riley came to do the inspection and did a fantastic job walking us through the inspection to let us know what they found, and suggestions on how to fix all of the issues! Shout out to Cary, for answering all of our questions and having such a great personality! We truly appreciate you guys taking the time to help us through such a very stressful time. We HIGHLY recommend this company!
Thorough knowledge of items addressed in report. Home inspector was able to communicate any issues found with buyer and help explain the different items and their severity.
Dustin is VERY Detailed Oriented and found items and suggestions on the home that I would have never thought of, the report provided very good insight on how to move forward with the sale of the home! The staff at API was great to work with!
The inspector Frank came to our house to inspect the deck and provide a list of safety problems. While he was there we asked him to take a look at some termite damage in the attic. When he went to the attic he spotted problems with a squirrel infestation requiring immediate action to correct for chewed wiring and unsanitary conditions. We were unaware of this problem. Frank provided a comprehensive inspection report in PDF format including multiple photos showing deck post deterioration, sagging joists and yes even a picture of the live squirrel in the attic. Frank is totally professional, knows his area of expertise very well and offers sound recommendations on how to correct problems without spending money for unnecessary improvements. For example he told us the ledger board was in good shape and did not have to be replaced, only secured to the house wall with additional bolts. The small amount we paid for the inspection was well spent because the inspection will end up saving us money in the long run.
Dustin was very knowledgeable and friendly and made my client feel confident in his explanations. He was quick to point out the positives of the home he was inspecting. His report was delivered within 18 hours of the inspection and had plenty of photos and very easy explanations in laymen's terms. I highly recommend Atlanta Property Inspections.
The inspector was really thorough and was patient in explaining to me what he was observing. He showed me where the shutoff valve was for the water and gave recommendations on various things. The report that was provided made sense and pictures were taken of some things that were found. The inspector was also very personable which put me at ease about asking questions. Thank you, Alex and Atlanta Property Inspections!
I would like to recommend Brandon for his excellent job during the inspection. He is very professional, thorough and is an expert in his field. I enjoyed his partnership during inspection, the knowledge he shared of the risks of certain issues was incredible. I am very glad that he inspected the house for us and wishing him more success in future.
This was my first experience with Atlanta Property Inspections. Alex Sozonov was my inspector. Very oriented details and willing to explained all questions with professional knowledge. Report came into my email box late night. Clearly, it has been covered all details. Plus, show up on time.

The longevity and functionality of your windows depend on proper maintenance. Furthermore, well-maintained windows contribute to the preservation of your home's worth because they are a significant investment. So, in this article, we will try to cover the fundamentals of window maintainance.
Regular cleaning is the easiest way to prevent damage to windows. Dust and filth can be easily and quickly removed from wooden windows by using a moist cloth. Make sure the fabric isn't very damp. If not, you run the risk of the timber frames decaying. To clean metal or vinyl frames, use warm water and a small amount of soap or mild detergent. Use only non-abrasive cleaning agents that won't scuff your window frames. It is recommended that you clean the tracks on the frame in addition to the window panes. Irrespective of the material composition of the frame, this step is critical. Debris, spider webs, and moisture accumulation are common in the track area. To maintain the window tracks in good condition, use clean water or a suitable cleaning to remove any muck.
Your windows should be inspected once every three months. You'll be able to identify any possible problems in this way before they worsen. First, look for any evidence of deterioration on the window sash and frame. In order to identify any possible problems, open and close the window. Checking the panes for indications of moisture is also necessary if your windows have two panes. The weather stripping needs to be changed if any are visible.
Because the strength of the windowpane is no longer operating at its peak, cracked glass is a possible accident waiting to happen. Furthermore, air can flow into and out of your property through even tiny cracks, and you will see the result of this via your monthly heating or cooling bills also when there's a broken window, especially if they're double or triple pane windows, the argon gas which between each pane is also going to get out and will cause the panes to not to work correctly.
Avoid using abrasive products on glass because abrasive cleaning solutions can leave tiny scratches on glass surfaces. In the long term, this could result in cracks or other major damage; in the near term, it will significantly affect a window's looks, making it appear deteriorated. Instead, if you want to clean your windows, use a clean microfiber cloth and a mild cleanser, like soap and water. This goes for all types of windows and frames.
Before moving into a new home, inspecting all parts of your home, including the windows, is also crucial. Windows are barriers that protect your home and impact your daily lives a great deal. As a future homebuyer, in the midst of all the chaos around you, you might not inspect the house as detailed as it needs to be. So, home inspections are crucial in order to prevent skipping through any step. Luckily, professionals at Atlanta Property Inspection are ready to help you on this journey. Our professional home inspectors are all ASHI-certified and have a great deal of experience in the area. Call us today to schedule your appointment.
