I have hired this company doing inspection on the property that I was planning to purchase in Georgia. I’ve live in California when this was done. Frank Cooper and his team did a great job of inspection and giving me with every details. I really appreciate the advice and the report. Thank you

This was our first experience with Atlanta Property Inspections, Frank Cooper was the lead inspector and he was inspecting a new construction one bedroom plus den in Alpharetta for a buyer client of ours. The inspection report was both detailed and comprehensive. We have tried out a few premium home inspection companies over the past year, looking for a good additional inspection resource, and based on our experience with Frank Cooper, I think we have found it.

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.

I called several companies for quotes, and I felt that Atlanta Property Inspections was the most welcoming!  Thereafter, I had a wonderful experience at the inspection. My inspector was thorough, kind, and willing to explain things and answer my questions on site.  He was very knowledgeable and very friendly.  I am glad I did not skip the inspection for this 950 square foot condo, and the review has been very helpful, during my due diligence period in evaluating this potential home.

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.

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!

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!

4 Common Myths About Mold

Although mold is a common problem many homeowners face regularly, there are many misconceptions and myths about mold. Since many websites on the internet aren't very reliable when it comes to separating between reality and myth, we have prepared this mini guide for you so you can understand the health implications of mold better, and if you find it in your house, you will know which

Mold Is Always Visible

Of course, the most crucial point in mold removal is early detection. So, wouldn't it be great if you could enter a place and immediately see the mold? Unfortunately, mold isn't visible to the naked eye most of the time, and detecting it requires more knowledge. You should look for signs using all five sense organs to detect mold. For example, watch out for musty smell, flaring up in your allergies, moisture, and weird smell from your A/C unit.

Bleach Kills Mold

Bleach is indeed helpful in killing many different microorganisms, including bacteria and viruses. However, it doesn't kill the mold. Many websites on the internet would give you recipes about how to remove mold with bleach. When you pour bleach on mold, it will seem as if it disappeared, so you will think you were able to get rid of the mold. However, the bleach doesn't kill the spores of the mold, and in no time, mold will appear again.

There Shouldn’t Be Mold In Your House At All

Expecting no mold at all in your house is a utopic idea. Until it reaches the dangerous level that causes health problems, it is perfectly normal for your house to have mold in small amounts. There's no point in saying it shouldn't be in your home because mold is a type of fungi. Fungi is a very ancient microorganisms humans have learned to live with since the beginning of history. So, of course, there might be mold in your home; it just shouldn't reach a certain level. In that case, you will have to call professional home inspectors, which brings us to our next point.

You shouldn't expose yourself to the mold.
