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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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!

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!

The Environmental Factors to Consider During a Home Inspection

A lot of thought and effort goes into the home-buying process. As homebuyers, you need to think about a lot of aspects and factors in a home’s condition. Most of the time, the obvious factors that a lot of people consider are structural, aesthetic, and overall layout. However, with the help of a home inspector, the aspects of homes that most people don’t even think about are considered, and their conditions are brought to the surface. One of these aspects is the environmental considerations. Beyond the nice exterior and electric and plumbing systems, a home inspection should evaluate the surrounding environment, as it may have an impact on your health, safety, and future costs. In this article, we will go over some of the environmental factors you should consider as a future homebuyer.

Water Contaminants 

Water contamination is a serious issue that can significantly impact your health. This issue is particularly important if the water on that property comes from a well and not the municipal water system. If this is the case, your inspector can explain the situation, and water testing can be done. This way, you can rule out a lot of possible drinking dangers, including chemicals, heavy metals, mold and fungus, and other contaminants.

Air Quality

Another important environmental factor is the air quality. When inspecting a home, the inspectors will assess the HVAC system not only to see if it functions but also to see if there are dirty filters or poor ventilation, which are known to reduce air quality. When the air quality inside the house isn’t ideal or if the house isn’t properly ventilated, mold and mildew can grow in various places, which are known for the health issues they cause. Bad air quality also makes it ideal for pests to grow. So, if the report shows that the air quality inside the house isn’t good, you should think twice before your big decision.

Asbestos

Asbestos was previously a common building material, especially before the 1980s, thanks to its many advantages. Later, it was found to be in correlation with various respiratory issues and even malignancies. So, the recently built houses no longer include asbestos. However, if you are thinking about buying an older property, this can show up as a bad surprise later. Since asbestosis is a major health hazard, if the home inspector in Cumming suspects its presence, proper testing can be done and experts can handle its removal. As a homeowner, it’s very important for you to consider the existence of this substance, especially on older properties. 

Protect Your Health and Investment

If you are thinking of buying the next place to protect your investment as well as your health, you should take environmental issues that home inspection reports show you seriously. Thankfully, home inspection services reveal the hidden problems with a thorough examination and let you determine what you’re going to do next clearly. If you are looking for a reliable home inspection company that can provide you with the services you are seeking, this is where your research ends. At Atlanta Property Inspections, we offer comprehensive, trustworthy reports so you can make confident, well-informed decisions. Call us today and schedule your appointment.
