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.
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 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!
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 have hired this company doing inspection on the property that I was planning to purchase in Georgia. I’ve live in California when this was done. Frank Cooper and his team did a great job of inspection and giving me with every details. I really appreciate the advice and the report. Thank you
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.
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.
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!
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!

Although they're kind of similar, compared to a regular home inspection, a house insurance inspection determines whether the replacement cost of your home is within the insurance company's initial estimate; on the other hand, a regular home inspection evaluates the general condition of a property. Insurance inspection will also reveal any hazards that you might not have mentioned when applying for your coverage. Your insurer may raise or lower your premium if the insurance inspector discovers that the replacement value of your house differs from the first estimate made by the insurance company.
Not all companies require an insurance inspection. The aim of the whole process is for the insurance provider to determine the cost of replacing a home. This is how the insurance provider evaluates risk in order to predict the possibility that you may have to make a claim for losses and decide how much your premium will cost. So, even though they can be conducted for a variety of reasons or even at random, these companies usually require house inspections for older properties and those located in regions more vulnerable to severe natural disasters like hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires. Additionally, you might have to get your house inspected before the next time your policy is up for renewal if you have been with the same home insurance company and haven't had one done recently.
A good way to be prepared for the insurance inspection is to perform a comprehensive check-up yourself before the actual inspection takes place so you won't be caught off guard by any issues. If you see any possible problems, take care of them as best you can or get in touch with a helpful contractor. Here are some of the areas you can check:
Exterior
Interior
Depending on the result of the inspection, your premium rate may change. Your rate may go up if your insurer finds out about extra liabilities not covered by the original policy or if the replacement value turns out to be more than you had originally projected. On the other hand, if your home is in a better condition compared to what was stated in your insurance claim, the company may reduce your premium.
If you are concerned about finding a reliable home inspector in your area, this is where your worries come to an end. All of the house inspectors at Atlanta Property Inspection are ASHI-certified and have the necessary expertise to identify the true problems. We also provide a warranty for each examination. All you have to do is give our representative team a call and arrange an appointment at the time that works best for you. Give us a call now!
