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!

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.

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!

Thorough knowledge of items addressed in report. Home inspector was able to communicate any issues found with buyer and help explain the different items and their severity.

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.

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.

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!

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.

For homeowners, selling a home can be an exciting and intimidating task, particularly when it comes to making sure the property is in good shape for possible purchasers. Finding and fixing any issues that must be done before listing the house on the market is a critical issue that frequently comes up throughout this procedure. Homeowners typically come across a range of repairs that need to be made in order to improve the appeal and value of their house, from small touch-ups to more extensive restorations. In this article, we will try to cover some of the most typical repairs that homeowners must make before listing their homes for sale.

Paint

Applying new paint is among the best home renovations to do before listing your house. One important technique to increase the appeal of your house to potential buyers is to paint the interior and exterior of your house. This will make your house seem much younger than it is and it's a relatively cheap way of adding value to your house.

Exteriors

They may say, "Don't judge a book by its cover," but it's completely normal to make a first impression about a house by looking at its exteriors. As the first thing prospective buyers see when they visit your house, the exterior of your home is quite important. So, repairing any damaged railings or fencing and keeping your lawn tidy is essential.

Plumbing Issues

Plumbing-related water damage can cause serious harm to your home and when home inspectors notice that there are problems regarding your plumbing system, the report may devalue your house. So, if you think there are some issues that need to be tackled regarding your plumbing system, fix it before selling it, even the most minor leaks count. 

Roof

Roof is also an important part of your house that needs fixing before you sell your house. If your roof has shingles that are missing or broken, sun or water damaged roofing componenents, destroyed weather stripping or any other issues, they should be taken care of.

Safety Components

Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are among the first appliances that home inspectors check for. Carbon monoxide detectors and in-home smoke detectors are mandated in almost every state. Be sure you are aware of the rules in your area and state regarding the placement and installation of detectors, and if they're broken, either get new ones immediately or fix them.

Reliable Home Inspection

In conclusion, there is more to getting a house ready for sale than just listing it. Any necessary repairs that could lower the property's appeal and value must be addressed with attention to detail. A thorough house inspection carried out by a reliable home inspection company is essential to this process since it gives homeowners priceless information about the state of their property and points out areas that need repair. That's why inspectors of Atlanta Home Inspection are ready to help you. Putting in the time and effort to make these repairs will give prospective buyers more trust.
