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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

How to Remove Hardwood Floor Stains

As time passes, more homeowners prefer hardwood floors, and they are right. Hardwood floors are simple to maintain and are durable so that they can last for many years. They add both class and coziness to your home. It’s easy to clean them, and their colors don’t fade. So, many people prefer hardwood floors over carpets. Even though their maintenance is quite easy, certain accidents can cause stains on hardwood floors and affect the aesthetic value of your flooring. In this article, we will go over some ways to remove certain stains from your hardwood floors.

Of course, the method of removing the stain will depend on the cause of the stain.

Water Stains

For water stains, you will need a clothing iron. First, find a cloth to cover the area of the stain. Later, pour any water inside the iron and plug it in, bring the temperature to the lowest and iron the cloth for a few seconds. Another great method is toothpaste. For this case, using non-whitening and non-gel toothpaste is a good idea. Get a towel or a cloth and put some toothpaste on it. Take that cloth and press it against the stain. Later, you can clean the area. Repeat this process until the stain is gone completely.

Oil Stains

This one is a case many of us face, especially when cooking. In this one, the key is mineral spirits. Apply it using a cloth but don’t rub it aggressively. The stain will disappear. After this step, you can use water and soap to clean the area. Don’t forget to dry it as well!

Pet Stains

Homeowners with pets are normally left with pet stains from time to time, and as one, you may be wondering how to get rid of the pet stains. Luckily, there are a few options. Most commonly, enzymatic cleaners, vinegar, and hydrogen peroxide can be used to clean these. Before starting anything, however, it’s critical to act fast and to get rid of extra substances on the floor. After this, you have a couple of options. First, add one cup of vinegar to the water and scrub the floor with the solution. However, if the stains are deeper, you may have to use hydrogen peroxide. Please focus on the spots with stains and scrub them with peroxide with the help of a cloth. Finally, when you are done, you can sprinkle some baking soda on the area for any left moisture and refreshen the area.

The First Address to Call

The most important point to remember is to act as fast as possible. Otherwise, you will double the amount of time you’ll spend cleaning. Of course, as homeowners, you may be confused about how to get rid of the stains or have a stain you can’t get rid of. If this is the case, call the professionals of Atlanta Property Inspection. Our team will guide you on what you need to do and, if necessary, refer you to professionals who can eliminate the stain. Additionally, if you have any questions or concerns regarding the condition of your home, our professional home inspectors will help you learn more about the issue with a home inspection.
