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!
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!
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 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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.

A newly constructed home can still have defects, incomplete work, installation problems, or components that do not perform as expected. A new construction inspection gives buyers an independent look at the home's major systems and finishes, helping identify issues that may need correction before closing or while the builder's warranty is still available.
At Atlanta Property Inspections, we pride ourselves on offering thorough home inspections in Atlanta, GA. In today’s post, we’ll talk about why new construction needs an inspection.
New construction is not automatically free from defects. A home passes through multiple construction stages, and problems can occur with plumbing, electrical work, roofing, insulation, windows, grading, or other components along the way.
A municipal building inspection also serves a different purpose from a private home inspection. Building officials verify compliance with applicable codes and permit requirements, while an independent home inspection company evaluates the property's observable condition for the buyer.
A professional home inspection can identify visible problems across many areas of the property. These may include improperly installed fixtures, drainage concerns, damaged materials, unfinished work, moisture intrusion, electrical issues, or problems with doors and windows.
A home inspector can also examine major systems and components to determine whether they appear to be functioning as intended at the time of the inspection. Finding these concerns before the buyer takes ownership can make it easier to communicate needed corrections to the builder.
A new construction home can be inspected at several stages, including before drywall is installed, before closing, and after construction is substantially complete. The appropriate timing depends on the construction process and the buyer's agreement with the builder.
A pre-drywall inspection provides an opportunity to examine components that will later be concealed behind finished walls. A final inspection provides a broader look at completed construction and can identify items that remain unfinished or require correction before closing.
A home inspection cannot predict every problem a home may develop after construction, but it can document observable conditions at a particular point in time. This provides useful information about the home's condition and may help identify issues while the builder is still responsible for addressing them.
Buyers should also understand the terms of the builder's warranty and keep records of inspection findings and requested repairs. Documentation can be useful when following up on items identified before or shortly after closing.
A new construction inspection should cover the home's major accessible systems and components, including the structure, roof, exterior, plumbing, electrical system, heating and cooling equipment, insulation, ventilation, and interior finishes. A home inspection company also looks for visible safety concerns and conditions that may require further evaluation.
The inspection should account for the home's stage of construction. Areas that are not yet accessible may need to be inspected at a later stage, which is one reason multiple inspections can provide more information than waiting until the home is completely finished.
A builder's warranty and an independent inspection serve different purposes. A warranty provides coverage for certain defects or construction issues under its specific terms, while an inspection gives the buyer an independent assessment of the home's observable condition.
An inspection can help you identify items that may be worth bringing to the builder's attention before warranty coverage becomes an issue. Buyers should review the warranty carefully because coverage, exclusions, deadlines, and procedures vary between builders and contracts.
