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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.
