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!

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!

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.

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.

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 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, 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 You Can Read A Home Inspection Report

If you are looking to sell or buy a house, a home inspection is crucial. However, some still don’t understand why smart people get their home inspection as soon as possible. In this article, we will go through the major reasons why people get their home inspection, different types of inspection, and why Atlanta Property Inspection is here to tell you all this information.

Main Purposes of a Home Inspection

There are so many purposes on why one should get a home inspection. Firstly, the value of something is determined based on the condition of that item. While a home inspection service can’t tell you the value of the house, it can tell you about the conditions of items in detail. Second, if you are the buyer, getting a home inspection is a must for you. Many people who have a variety of problems in their house get them because they didn’t want to give the money for a home inspection. With early detection of these problems, however, you may take a different approach to things. Lastly, if you are the seller, having a home inspection can help detect the problems in your house. If you decide to avoid these problems and try to sell the house, it may lead to some serious issues with the buyer. So, have your home inspection and fix those problems so that you can easily sell your house without any problems.

What is a Pre-Purchase Inspection?

A pre-purchase inspection is mainly used by real estate agents. The point is to point out red flags on the property. This helps you see the value of your property and learn more about the possible problems without putting a price on the market. With these in mind, you sit down with a realtor and talk about the best price that would work for you.

Things Included in a Home Inspection

Before having a home inspection, know the places that he would look at. If there is a particular place that we haven’t covered that you want to get checked, then you may have to pay additional fees to hire a different inspector. Some of these places include the condition of the roof, insulation, and ventilation, the general exterior parts of the house, the condition of the house’s structure, the water main system, the wiring system, the plumbing system, and the HVAC system, and the windows and doors.

Main Points to Read a Report Easier

Firstly, be next to the home inspector on the day of the inspection. Not only would you convince him to check every detail of the house, but you would ask any questions that may come across your mind throughout the inspection. Secondly, don’t forget to read the summary page. If the report is too long and you don’t want to read it, read the summary page to see any of the major problems of the house and the photos that the inspector took. If you are working with a realtor, allow him/her to read the summary and see the photos too.
