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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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 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.

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!

Can Weather Affect an Inspection?

Some states of the country usually expect very serious weather conditions. So, what happens when a resident in these states needs a home inspection? Is it still manageable? Knowing how home inspections and weather conditions are related is very important for the inspector and the customer. There are both advantages and disadvantages of doing inspections in harsh weather; we will go over some of these in this article.

Home Inspection Process

During the home inspection process, your inspector will look at your home as a whole and by components. He/she will analyze the components and systems of your home and will let you know if there are any problems with certain parts or if any are dangerous. The process aims to make you aware of the overall situation in your home and what you can do to improve the condition as a homeowner. A home inspector in Marietta will tell you about the most urgent points that need to be taken care of and the basic information you should know about your home, such as where the shutoff valves for various systems are.

Some Tips For Harsh Weather Inspections

  • Follow the weather forecast prior to making an appointment. This way, your chances of scheduling the inspection on a day with nicer weather increases; this way, it’s less risky.
  • If you make your schedule earlier in the day, most of the time, you can benefit from the sunlight.
  • Unfortunately, even if you made your appointment on a day with nice weather, the weather can be unpredictable. If that is the case, make sure to be in constant contact with your inspector throughout the day.
  • If it’s winter, you can try to make the situation easier for the inspector by removing ice and snow from various parts of the exterior of your home.

Look At The Bright Side!

Even if snow and heavy rain don’t seem like the ideal time to inspect, it can be beneficial, particularly for testing a few aspects of your home. For example, the inspector will be able to see more clearly if your home's heating system is adequate, if the insulation is well, if there are any leaks from your roof or plumbing systems, and see how well the roof holds the weight of snow and ice. These observations are quite important for the homeowner and cannot be understood well in sunny weather, so see this as an opportunity. If you are working with the right home inspector, this can be an absolute win.

Have A Peace of Mind When It Comes to Home Inspections

Although they may not appear related at first, the weather can play an important role in home inspection. If you are working with a reliable and experienced home inspector, you have nothing to worry about most of the time. In fact, as we mentioned before, the situation can even be advantageous. This certainly will be the case if you decide to work with a professional home inspector at Atlanta Property Inspection. Our team is experienced in the area and handles many different situations.
