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!

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 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.

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.

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!

How to Prepare for a Home Insurance Inspection

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.

What Is The Importance Of Insurance Inspection?

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.

How Do Insurance Inspections Work?

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

  • Check the roof to see if it has shingles that are missing or damaged.
  • Get your chimney professionally cleaned and see if there are any fractures or loose bricks.
  • Pruning your trees seasonally to keep the branches away from your house.
  • Make sure your gutters are free of debris.
  • Examine the windows, doors, and siding for damage, leaks, and cracks.

Interior

  • Verify the fire extinguisher's functionality.
  • Clean your fireplace.
  • See if there are any leaks or pest problems.
  • Make sure your carbon monoxide and smoke detectors are operational.
  • Make sure your HVAC system is working and is clean.

How Will You Be Affected By This?

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.
