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.

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!

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 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.

My client used the company for their home inspection during their due diligence period. Jeremy and his partner were very kind and accommodating with answering questions. The report was very thorough and I like that they also note positive things about the homes in their report as well and not just what's wrong with the house. You can read the good and the bad.

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.

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!

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!

How Often Should You Perform a Preventive Termite Inspection?

Invasion of bugs is indeed extremely irritating, but termite invasion adds a whole different dimension to the discomfort.  That is because termites can destroy houses. After all, they eat wood and products of wood, the foundation of your house. They cause damage to the main structural wood of the house as well as windows and doors, not to mention the wood furniture you may have. In addition to structural damage, they disrupt the appearance of ceiling, floors, paint, and wallpaper.

Cost Of Termites

Did you know that a homeowner spends an average of $3,000 to repair the damage termites create? It’s not only the money, taking care of the problems termites create can disturb your daily routine. You will spend extra time to find and hire professionals. After hiring, you may need to move from the house for a certain amount of time until termites are taken care of and then move back. In some cases, damages created by termites are so severe that doorframes must be replaced; walls and ceilings must be rebuilt.

What is Termite Inspection?

Spending this money, effort, and time on treating termite damage is avoidable by termite inspections. With many other things to take care of, tenants or homeowners can forget about termite inspection, but they aren’t simple things one can overlook. You wouldn’t know if your house has the risk of having termites, only termite inspectors would know. Termite inspectors are aware of the key places for possible termite invasion and will check these areas. They will check both indoors and outdoors for possible signs and the whole inspection process is most likely going to take about an hour. At the end of the hour, inspectors will tell you about the presence of termites in your house.

Key Areas Inspectors Focus On

Inspectors are most likely going to focus on a couple of areas when they are looking for termites such as bedrooms, closets, attic as well as toilets. They will try to focus on areas with wooden structures, but they will also look for leaking pipes since they can cause moist-damaged wood. It is possible that they don’t find active termite inspection but an underground termite infestation. For both cases, they are going to tell you your options and the next steps you should take to prevent a larger and more damaging infestation.

Make Sure Your Home is Termite-Free!

A termite inspection is also becoming a part of the home-buying process nowadays. Most companies require a termite inspection to know if the property has been damaged and require treatment if the termite infestation is present. So, it can even affect your home buying or selling process. To avoid the large cost of termite infestation, schedule a termite inspection with Atlanta Property Inspections. It is possible to stop termite infestation if the early preventive inspection is made and proper treatment is done. Dealing with termites is inconvenient and your money, effort and time isn’t worth it. Make sure to schedule your preventive termite inspection for a healthy home environment.
