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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
Atlanta Property Inspections, Inc. was referred to us by our realtor for our home inspection. Our inspector was Cary Cooper. He really took the time to answer all of our questions about his findings. We didn't feel rushed or that any question was too silly. He gave us peace of mind with a few of our concerns and was honest, even if we weren't to thrilled with the news. Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely use (and refer) Atlanta Property Inspections, Inc. in the future for any inspection needs.
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 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!

When the summer you wait so patiently all year finally arrives with its intense heat, no one can doubt the most important system of your house becomes HVAC. With the right and functional air conditioning, the summer heat won’t be as big of an issue, and you can appreciate the beauty of summer while still being in contact with cool air. To ensure that your HVAC is functional, just like other systems inside your house, you have to make sure that they get regular maintenance. For their heating and cooling systems to operate properly, this step is crucial. If you want your HVAC system to last a long time, make sure to contact professionals at Atlanta Property Inspections to see if everything is alright, and between each routine maintenance, there are some things you can do to ensure the functionality of your HVAC system.
Some pollutants are inevitable, even if your home is one of the cleanest. Replacing your air filters is recommended every three months, but you should do it more frequently if you have pets. You won’t believe how much the quality of your indoors will be changed; this is especially important for homeowners who have allergies or other respiratory problems. Also, your HVAC system will last longer when it is not forced to work as hard when your air filters are clean.
A very fundamental element of HVAC systems are heat and air registers. Therefore, maintaining their cleanliness could be provided by vacuuming them using air filters. Also, this would decrease the amount of time inspectors would normally spend on the inspection.
Going to the attic where ducts are visible is an important point many homeowners don’t know about. If you think air is escaping through any rips or tears in your ductwork, you can check this by going to the places where ducts are easily seen and trying to feel if heat or air is escaping. If you feel like it does, you may temporarily use duct tape.
You should already make it a habit to examine your monthly bills, whether it is water or electricity. If you observe an issue with your air conditioning system, you might see an unexpected spike in your electricity bill. This allows for you to take early action by calling professionals.
Observe your home to see if there are any vents that are exposed to the sun. Also, see if there’s any damage and if anything is obstructed.
There are two types of thermostats: battery-operated and hardwired into your home's electricity supply. About once a year, you'll need to change the batteries in your thermostat as a homeowner. If you need help, don’t hesitate to contact professionals.
Regular maintenance is crucial for every system inside your house, including your HVAC system. A great way to make sure the systems in your house are working properly is by scheduling regular home inspections with Atlanta Property Inspection. We are prepared to assist you in the process of conducting an inspection and give you additional information on things you need to know. Our home inspectors understand the significance of living in a safe and functional house, and therefore we'll try our best to address your inquiries regarding the state of your home.
