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.

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!

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 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!

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.

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!

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.
