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!
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
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!
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!
I called several companies for quotes, and I felt that Atlanta Property Inspections was the most welcoming! Thereafter, I had a wonderful experience at the inspection. My inspector was thorough, kind, and willing to explain things and answer my questions on site. He was very knowledgeable and very friendly. I am glad I did not skip the inspection for this 950 square foot condo, and the review has been very helpful, during my due diligence period in evaluating this potential home.
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.
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.
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 absolutely amazing. He did such a thorough job and was super friendly and helpful in explaining everything to me as a first-time homeowner. Highly recommend this company! Very timely and professional throughout the entire process as well!

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.
