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.
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.
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!
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 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.
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 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.
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!
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!

When it comes to buying and settling into a new home, every step brings new excitements, especially if it’s your first home. In the midst of all that is going on, an important part of the moving process should not be skipped—home inspections. When it comes to home inspections in Alpharetta, GA, it’s important to understand that they’re not all the same. The term “builder warranty” seems to be used interchangeably with the home inspections, but that is not quite true. So, in this article, we will go over the main differences between the two types of inspections, trying to help you in determining which inspection is best for your needs.
First, it's important to define what each inspection means. A builder warranty is a guarantee given by the builder of the house implying that it will not have a set of defects and faults for a certain amount of time. Most of the time, they cover the major components of the house as well as the material. The builder warranties usually include a duration, which is determined by a number of factors about the house. Usually, one-year coverage for defects in materials and workmanship, including paint, drywall, and flooring. Two-year coverage includes main systems such as plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. Finally, ten-year coverage includes major structural deficiencies, including the foundation. Here are some of the important parts a building warranty covers:
By definition, a home inspection is an unbiased review that is conducted by a professional home inspector to determine a home's overall condition. Home inspections are usually done before a property is purchased, but they can also be done while you’re living inside your home just to see what kind of issues are present or before selling the home so any renovations can be included in the final price. In this inspection, the home inspector checks all critical components such as the foundation, electrical and plumbing system, HVAC, mold, etc. A home inspection is undoubtedly the most important step, especially before closing on your new home, because it is the ultimate unbiased and effective piece of document for making educated decisions and maximizing your investment. A home inspection can help you detect potential issues and get a better picture of the ongoing care that the property will need.
Even though a builder warranty carries the great advantage of offering coverage after move-in, it still does not replace the requirement for a home inspection. A home inspection detects problems early and warns you regarding the state of your home, but a builder warranty provides financial protection if specified defects develop after the home is occupied. To safely move into your brand new house, you should call the professional home inspectors of Atlanta Property Inspections. We are a home inspection company that is dedicated to bringing your home to its safest and most effective state. All you should do is call our professionals and schedule your appointment.
