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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

The Role of Home Inspections in Preventing Costly Repairs

Buying or selling a home is a significant undertaking that requires careful consideration to get your money’s worth. As a buyer, you should ensure the property is in good shape before signing any documentation. Also, sellers are required by law in most areas to provide a current report from a reputable home inspection company in Atlanta, GA before listing a property for sale. That’s where Atlanta Property Inspections comes in as your trusted partner for comprehensive inspection services. If you want to invest in real estate, here’s how home inspectors can prevent costly emergencies later.

Uncover Hidden Problems

Whether it’s a new construction or an old property, hidden issues can wreak havoc if left unchecked. The key for prospective home buyers is to detect these issues before signing any paperwork. A seasoned home inspector can inspect every nook and cranny, detecting issues like cracks in the foundation, roof damage, or defective plumbing. This allows you to inquire about the condition of the property when you are physically present for peace of mind. The last thing you want is to start the purchase process only to incur additional costs later on for repairs.

Provide a Basis for Negotiation

As mentioned, ignoring a home inspection can lead to costly surprises down the line. By identifying areas that need attention before investing in a property, you can argue that the repairs needed should be covered by the seller. If the current owner refuses to fix the house, then ask them to reduce the house price so that you can cover the repairs. This back-and-forth process cannot be possible if you are unaware of underlying issues, hence the need to invest in a professional home inspection. Not to mention, some sellers may not reveal all the issues and expect buyers to learn about them after completing the purchase.

Prioritize Repairs

A detailed report on the property you want to buy goes a long way in understanding what needs immediate attention and what should wait. This is particularly helpful when on a budget, as it allows you to allocate resources effectively for future maintenance. Additionally, working with a reputable home inspection company can give access to extensive expertise and knowledge, helping you weigh the cost of repairs and the property’s value before deciding.

Protect Your Investment

Another crucial role of professional home inspection services is to protect your investment. By providing a comprehensive overview of the property you want to buy, a detailed report helps you avoid inheriting costly problems that could decrease the overall value. If you want to get your money’s worth and grow your investment, consult professional home inspectors for help. With many years of experience, licensed inspectors know what to look for and how to ensure a higher return on investment.

Support Long-Term Maintenance

Finally, prioritizing regular maintenance inspections with a reputable home inspector can help catch small issues, like minor leaks and clogs, before they become major problems. This gives you confidence in the state of your home and saves you a lot of money on recurring repairs over time. Also, early detection and timely intervention can complement long-term maintenance efforts, keeping crucial systems functioning optimally year-round. ®

While professional home inspections may seem like an additional expense, the long-term benefits and potential cost savings make it a worthwhile investment. Even if you prefer a more hands-on approach, some issues can go undetected and worsen over time. Trust the vital role of home inspection and take a proactive approach before closing the deal. Contact Atlanta Property Inspections to book an appointment with our certified inspectors and confidently proceed with your purchase.
