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.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!

Home inspection is undoubtedly the most important step when you decide you want to buy a house. And the single most important factor that determines how much you will be gaining from this process is working with the right home inspector. A thorough home inspection report can help you avoid unexpected repair expenditures and make an informed decision before buying a house, determining whether this investment will be a wise choice or not. Of course, there are so many home inspectors available; however, in order to guarantee a successful home inspector, you should work with a reliable and qualified specialist. In this post, we will look at seven crucial considerations to consider when selecting a home inspector, allowing you to have peace of mind about your home purchase.
If you wanted advice on practically every aspect of your life, who would you ask? It's probably your friends and family. When conducting research on local home inspectors, contact those whom your friends and family would recommend and trust. This is especially beneficial if they recently purchased a house and had a nice experience with their inspection. This way, you can narrow down your options in the wide sea.
A certified house inspector is a professional who has completed the training, education, and certification criteria for becoming a home inspector in their state. Of course, each state has different regulations for certifying inspectors in their area. Being certified in that state indicates that the inspector had proper training and passed a test to demonstrate their competence. Most states require inspectors to be licensed or certified.
We mentioned that home inspectors in Marietta, GA need to be certified one way or another. However, are you wondering if there’s a standard certification you should look for before hiring? To answer, yes, there is. ASHI is a society of independent, licensed house inspectors founded to provide criteria for the home inspection process. Society has high expectations of house inspectors, who must pass a series of exams and meet certain requirements. To be an "ASHI Certified Inspector," the inspector must have performed over 250 professional house inspections, indicating that they are well-versed in the subject.
At the end of the inspection, the report shows you the level of skill and experience the home inspector has. So, before hiring, you can request samples of reports. This way, you can get insight into how extensively the inspector will investigate a property. Ideally, you can request the report of a property similar to the ones you will be intending to buy, so you have an even clearer image of what to expect.
Look for a house inspector who has expertise in the area. An expert house inspector has most likely observed a wide range of residences and knows how to handle each property. They're more likely to be aware of any problems with your home based on their previous experiences with other homes, and so they'll know what to look for when doing their inspection.
A home inspector with an understanding of advanced technology will provide even more insight into your property because certain technologies can detect abnormalities that are invisible to the human eye or imperceptible to other senses.
It’s very important to have open and professional communication with your inspector because it will be a detailed process. The inspector should be able to clarify difficult topics and help you understand the report as well as have a professional attitude.
If you're stressed about where to find a professional home inspector, we’re happy to tell you that your concerns now end. Atlanta Property Inspections is a professional home inspection company that has more than 25 years of experience in the industry.
