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!

My client used the company for their home inspection during their due diligence period. Jeremy and his partner were very kind and accommodating with answering questions. The report was very thorough and I like that they also note positive things about the homes in their report as well and not just what's wrong with the house. You can read the good and the bad.

Atlanta property inspections gave me a very competitor quote and stuck to it for final pricing. They were able to get someone out to do the inspection so quickly. Frank and James were very thorough and helpful during the process they encouraged me to look at what they found, the good and bad, so I knew exactly what I am buying.  I couldn't have asked for a better inspection experience!

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.

Frank Cooper and his team from Atlanta Property Inspections, Inc were excellent! They arrived on time  and thoroughly inspected all areas of the property I was considering renting. They found things that needed to be repaired by the landlord before we signed the lease. Frank reviewed his findings with us. He explained all of his concerns, and he patiently answered all of our questions. Then the next day I received a very detailed report that included several pictures and detailed explanations. If you want a kind, knowledgeable, and thorough inspector, don’t hesitate to call Frank Cooper with Atlanta Property. I would highly recommend him! Truly a 5 star company!

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.

WOW! I can't even make this story up. In this very crazy market (June 2021) it seemingly takes 2 week closing (sometimes with *0* days due diligence!) to purchase a home. Anyway, Frank came recommended by another very reputable inspector, and I was fortunate he came!! The home we were looking at for my mother was a 1975 build and within 1 hour of the inspector being there a FIRE from an electrical panel broke out! Frank contained the fire, and was SO calm, had his team address the matter, was in touch with the agent and homeowner. He said in over 20+ years of him inspecting homes nothing like this had ever happened. Anyway the inspection was VERY thorough and Frank handled all matters very professionally. We will be working with Frank and his team on any home inspections in the future. I highly recommend!

Jeremy was the best to work with! He was on time,  very thorough in his explanations of his findings, and took time with my clients to make sure he answered all of their questions. He was detailed, and provided follow up when we needed additional questions answered. He went above and beyond! Best, quality, customer service I’ve seen in a long time! I’ll recommend him and Atlanta Property Inspections every time!

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.

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.

5 Disasters to Catch with a Home Inspection

Undoubtedly, one of the most important milestones in every person’s life is purchasing a house. It’s a very major financial and life decision, so a lot of thought and consideration goes into this process. One of the key factors that determine whether you should be buying or selling a home is the home inspection. Even if a house could seem ideal at first glance, there can be lots of hidden problems that could make it a financial trap. On the other hand, with a thorough home inspection process, these hidden issues can be brought to the surface, and whether you’re planning to buy the house or sell it, you can avoid major disasters beforehand. Here are some of the most important problems you can catch with a home inspection.

Electrical System

A home that is improperly wired may experience a variety of issues; it can cause your brand new appliances to malfunction and can even start potential fires. This dysfunctional electrical system will be discovered by the home inspector before you buy the house, and this way, you can discuss your options with the seller. If you are the seller, when this kind of outdated wiring is caught, you might need to think about doing a complete upgrade.

Radon

In soil, rock, and water, uranium naturally breaks down to produce the toxic gas known as radon. Through different holes, this gas can enter your home and can significantly increase the risk of lung cancer, especially if the residents are exposed to it for a long amount of time. Therefore, it’s crucial for home inspectors to check the house for radon. Luckily, a radon reduction system can successfully reduce the levels, making the house safe to live in later on.

Water Damage

The amount of damage water can do to your home is beyond comprehension. It harms the structure, causes mold and mildew growth, makes your home prone to termites, and costs thousands of dollars. So, having a specialist inspect your home for potential water damage and for active signs of water damage is very important before buying or selling a home. Water damage may be the biggest potential disease a house inspection may find.

Foundation

Every home's foundation is its most important part. When there are major structural issues that are unresolved, these problems may cause extreme instability, making your house hazardous to occupy. For long-term structural issues, a home inspector in Suwanee will search for indications of water damage, foundation movement, or other issues, so your investment will be worth your time and money.

Termites

Small insects called termites have a habit of entering the wood and disrupting its integrity. As a result, the impacted areas deteriorate, leading to the weakening and eventual collapse of the wooden structures. Since most homes are made up of wood and are decorated with wooden furniture, termites are one of the primary enemies of your home’s safety and integrity. If termite damage is found during a home inspection, the home inspectors can let you know about the possible dangers and can recommend a company to deal with the termites.

Reliable Home Inspectors in Atlanta

A home inspection is a vital tool for foreseeing possible catastrophes. After reading the home inspection report, you’ll have a better understanding of the property's state and can make a well-informed decision. By hiring a reliable home inspection company, you will be providing yourself with long-term peace of mind.
