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!

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!

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.

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.

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 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!

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!

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.

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.
