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!
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.
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!
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.
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!
Jeremy was the best to work with! He was on time, very thorough in his explanations of his findings, and took time with my clients to make sure he answered all of their questions. He was detailed, and provided follow up when we needed additional questions answered. He went above and beyond! Best, quality, customer service I’ve seen in a long time! I’ll recommend him and Atlanta Property Inspections every time!
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.
Dustin is VERY Detailed Oriented and found items and suggestions on the home that I would have never thought of, the report provided very good insight on how to move forward with the sale of the home! The staff at API was great to work with!

If you are in the process of deciding on getting a new AC unit and are wondering if you're going to need to buy a dehumidifier even after you get an AC unit, you're in the right place because today, we're going to discuss the dehumidifying abilities of the AC units and whether they are sufficient.
To start with answering the question, it's true that air conditioners do have some level of dehumidifying capabilities. While a central air conditioning system is intended to eliminate humidity, its capabilities are limited. Installing a dehumidifier could be a good idea if your living area has high humidity levels. On the other hand, if you are already living in an area with a dry and hot environment, then you may only need AC units to do the job for you; while it will be sufficient to dehumidify the environment of dry areas, it will also provide coolness. On the other hand, if you are in a seaside city, getting a dehumidifier is an option to consider.
However, there may be instances where you require the cooperation of both of these units. You may be wondering but why? An air conditioner's primary purpose is not to dehumidify the air, and it will definitely be insufficient in extremely humid places. And dehumidifiers don't create the coolness you desperately seek out, especially in the summer months. Don't think of both of these units as additional costs; know that a dehumidifier also helps save energy costs and improve the efficiency of your air conditioner.
Benefits of an air conditioner include:
The speed and efficiency with which your air conditioner can lower a room's temperature is impressive. This is its most known feature and is a true blessing for people who live in areas with hot environments, especially during the summer.
As was already mentioned, one of the things an air conditioner does is help your home's air become less humid. In addition to helping people whose upper respiratory issues are aggravated by the humidity, this can lower the room's humidity levels as well as prevent the growth of mold and mildew.
Most of the air conditioners have a fan setting if you want to circulate cool air in your room without having to buy an additional fan.
It might be difficult to decide which appliance to choose when faced with an option between the two. A dehumidifier alongside an AC unit might be the best for you, depending on your specific needs. Your budget, location of residence, style of home, and personal tastes all play a major role in the appliance you choose. If you want the professional opinion of a home inspector in this matter, know that the professionals of Atlanta Property Inspection are ready to help you with any issue related to your home.
