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!

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.

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!

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 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.

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!

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!

Home Inspection vs. Appraisal: What’s the Difference

A home inspection and appraisal are two important services that homeowners can use whether they want to buy a property or sell their current one. Unfortunately, many homeowners aren’t aware of what each service is given for or the difference between these services. So, to help you understand the difference between a home inspection and an appraisal and learn more about the benefits they provide, we have prepared this guide for you. If you want to learn more, call Atlanta Property Inspection today.

What Is A Home Inspection?

A home inspection service provides homeowners with a report on the detailed condition of the house. This service is provided by professional inspectors who look through the condition of individual parts and systems of the home, which are crucial. These include looking at the condition of the plumbing system, electrical system, HVAC system, roof, ceilings, walls, floors, windows, and even doors. The report that the professional inspector gives can be a great guide on buying or selling your property or even fixing the parts that require a repair to enhance the longer lifespan of your home.

The list of benefits of a home inspection can go on and on. If you are looking to buy your home, this inspection will allow you to assess the general condition of the house and protect you from any repair or replacement services in the future. If you are looking to sell your property, you can use the report to increase the value of your house.

What is A Home Appraisal?

A home appraisal is a critical service given mainly to homeowners trying to apply for a mortgage or refinance their existing one. This service is a professional's unbiased opinion on how much the value of your current or dream house is worth. The extent of the service is very similar to that of a home inspection in Duluth. The professional looks at the general condition of the house, the home’s amenities, its visual appearance, square footage, location, and other features to report on how much the house roughly is worth, which is then given to the mortgage lenders. Lenders then use this report to ensure that they provide the roughly estimated value of the property and prevent the potential homeowner from overborrowing.

The benefits that a home appraisal provides are incredible. If you are looking to get a mortgage loan but don’t know where to start, getting a home appraisal will be a great way to unlock the doors that prevent you from getting it. In addition, understanding the current rough value of the house will allow you to catch up with the market, follow the trends, and sell the property for the same or higher value in the future.
