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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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 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!
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.
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!

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.
