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.
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 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!
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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.

Home is a comfortable and safe space for many people, and considering how much time most of us spend in it, you should feel secure and at ease in your own house. Mold is one of the unfortunate intruders that inhabit a lot of homes. If ignored, mold is an environmental risk that can lead to a number of significant health issues and damage to your house. Since mold can grow and spread in as little as 24 to 48 hours. You need to take immediate action to treat any mold issues. Mold assessment and mold inspection are the two main approaches for controlling the growth of mold in your house. Even though they sound pretty similar to each other, they are a bit different. In this article, we will go over both of these procedures.
A licensed home inspector conducts a comprehensive visual assessment of a property during a mold inspection. The inspector carefully examines the property for evidence of dampness, water damage, and apparent mold development, especially in places that are susceptible to mold growth, including attics, crawl spaces, and basements. Sometimes, the inspector utilizes specialist instruments like thermal imaging cameras to find hidden moisture concerns. The principal goal of a mold inspection is to detect any mold issues and offer suggestions for their resolution.
Professional mold testing, in comparison to mold inspections, is a much more detailed process because it involves taking samples from the house and having them examined in a lab. Specialized techniques are applied to the samples in order to identify the kind and presence of mold. In addition to being able to pinpoint the origin and scope of the growth, this procedure can yield a higher degree of accuracy than just an inspection. Sometimes, if a homeowner notices mold during inspection, they may advise for a mold assessment. Gathering air samples from various parts of a house and testing them for the presence of mold are the steps involved in indoor air quality examinations. Samples from every room in the house will normally be taken by the inspector, and the precise kinds and quantities of mold will be examined in the labs.
To summarize, the act of evaluating a mold issue and figuring out the degree of contamination is known as mold inspection. To determine its type and to confirm its existence, assesment is used. Typically, a mold inspection is carried out before mold testing.
Mold assessment digs deeper into the degree and severity of mold present, whereas mold inspection provides a high-level summary. We hope that this article sheds some light on this misconception. With this information at their disposal, homeowners can protect their homes and loved ones from the possible dangers of mold by making wise decisions by contacting a reliable home inspection company like Atlanta Property Inspections. Putting health first guarantees a healthier living environment, whether it's a standard house inspection or a specialist mold examination. Call us today to learn more and schedule your appointment.
