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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
We are relocating from out of state and we were in need of an inspection with a very tight turn around. We received incredibly thorough reporting and an availability to answer questions quickly. Cary Cooper’s professional and expert insight saved us from a potential health hazard. I would very much recommend Atlanta Property Inspection for any of your inspection needs!
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.
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
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 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!

A balcony is an excellent place to spend time, especially if you want to enjoy the outdoor air while still being in the comfort of your own home. Unfortunately, as balconies are outdoors, they are constantly in contact with environmental elements like wind, water, and dirt. As a result, it needs to be checked regularly to ensure everything is fine and safe. In this article, we will discuss some of the maintenance tips for your balcony and the stairs.
Regular cleaning is important for the longevity of your balcony and stairs. At least once every season, try to do a thorough cleaning. It doesn’t have to be tiring and complicated; simply get a gentle brush and a solution of water and soap and clean up any dust, grime, and cobwebs. Of course, before cleaning, check if there are certain instructions for the particular material of your balcony and stairs, though most of the time, simple water and soap are not an issue at all. If there are additional stains or dirt, you may need to use a bit more force; just make sure not to be too harsh with it, especially if the balcony and stairs are wooden.
Damage to balconies and stairways is frequently caused by moisture. Make sure that appropriate drainage systems are installed and operating efficiently to stop water from entering your house. Before water seeps into the structure, fix any fractures or holes you may notice. Also, screws and bolts may become loose with time as a result of usage and environmental factors. Making sure these fasteners are in good condition and are all tightened up is also important. If you think it’s not something you can handle on your own, you can seek the help of a professional.
Your balcony or deck can be shielded from many environmental factors, like rain and sunlight, by sealing it. Every two to three years, recoat your balcony. When applying, make sure to carefully follow the manufacturer's application guidelines. Also, if your stairs are made of metal, you should protect them from rust by applying a rust-preventative coating at least once a year.
To find and fix any possible structural problems or safety dangers, routine inspections are necessary. Every few years, have a professional perform a balcony inspection for wear and tear indicators like loose or rotting boards, distorted supports, or rusted metal. Some issues can escape your eye, but they will be much more thorough, and this will protect you from safety risks.
