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!

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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!

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.

Popular New Construction Upgrades That Are Worth It!

There are a lot of decisions to be made when building a new home. Once the main choices have been decided upon, many home buyers consider upgrades to the home. There are many upgrades to choose from, several of which are not expensive and can add that custom home feel.

Here are some upgrades new home buyers are choosing.

ELECTRICAL:

1. CAR CHARGER:

As more car owners switch to electric cars, there is a growing need for at-home car charging.

BEST OPTION: Install a 240 volt circuit / outlet in the garage for faster charging, 3-6 hours.

2. ADDITIONAL OUTLET FOR FREEZER:

Many homes need a second refrigerator or freezer. The existing garage outlets are not rated for freezers or refrigerators.

BEST OPTION: Install a dedicated 20 amp circuit to avoid nuisance tripping and outage.

3. USB OUTLETS:

With so many personal devices needing to be charged, this outlet can be a real convenience.

BEST OPTION: Install a 20 amp USB outlet in kitchens, baths.

4. ADD EXTERIOR OUTLETS:

Additional outlets are useful at exterior entertaining areas and at roof soffits for holiday lighting.

BEST OPTION: Install GFCI and weather protected outlets.

5. ADDITIONAL LIGHTING:

Some areas of the home could benefit from additional lighting such as the master closet, garage, and laundry room,.

BEST OPTION: Consult a lighting professional for specific lighting needs.

6. INSTALL SECURITY LIGHTING:

Lighting is the most cost effective method for deterring crime.

BEST OPTION: Consider installing motion activated lights controlled by photo cell.

7. INSTALL SECURITY CAMERAS:

While there are many wireless options, a fully wired set of cameras can provide better image quality and performance.

BEST OPTION: Buy the equipment, don’t lease.

8. INSTALL A BACKUP GENERATOR:

These systems provide comfort and security when storms knock out power.

BEST OPTION: Work with professionals to determine correct sizing, energy needs, and priorities; check on rebates.
