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.
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!
Thorough knowledge of items addressed in report. Home inspector was able to communicate any issues found with buyer and help explain the different items and their severity.
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!
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!
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 called several companies for quotes, and I felt that Atlanta Property Inspections was the most welcoming! Thereafter, I had a wonderful experience at the inspection. My inspector was thorough, kind, and willing to explain things and answer my questions on site. He was very knowledgeable and very friendly. I am glad I did not skip the inspection for this 950 square foot condo, and the review has been very helpful, during my due diligence period in evaluating this potential home.
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!
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

We've all met that homeowner. You know the one: they keep their lawn trimmed like a golf course and their garage organized better than a hardware store. They swear their home is in "perfect" condition. At first glance, that very well may be true… but here's the thing: even the most beautiful homes have hidden issues lurking beneath that picture-perfect surface.
At Atlanta Property Inspections, we've seen it all over our 20+ years serving Metro Atlanta. Trust us when we say that no home is truly perfect – and that's okay! The key is catching issues early before they turn into expensive nightmares.
Let’s look at the top five things our home inspectors in Duluth, GA discover even in homes that seem flawless. Uncovering these issues early on can save you from big headaches and costly repairs down the line.
Water is life, but it can also cause destruction. It creeps into places you'd never think to check – like behind washing machines, under sinks, around windows, and in attic corners. Even in homes that look pristine, our home inspectors regularly find water stains, soft spots, or moisture buildup.
Why does this happen? Sometimes it's a slow leak that's been dripping for months. Other times, it's poor ventilation in bathrooms or kitchens that creates condensation over time. The scary part? By the time you notice water damage with your naked eye, it's often already caused significant harm.
Your lights turn on, your outlets work, so your electrical system must be fine, right? Not so fast. Electrical problems are among the most common (and dangerous) issues found during inspections.
We're talking about outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, improper grounding, or DIY electrical work that wasn't done to code. Sometimes these problems announce themselves with sparks and smoke. More often than not, they quietly increase your risk of electrical fires or shock hazards.
A professional home inspection company will check your electrical panel, test outlets, and evaluate visible wiring to make sure everything is safe and up to code. It's one of those behind-the-scenes checks that could literally save your life.
When was the last time you spent more than 5 minutes in your attic? If you're like most people, the answer is "never" or "only when I absolutely have to." That's exactly why attic ventilation problems fly under the radar.
Proper attic ventilation is crucial for regulating temperature and preventing moisture buildup. Without it, you're looking at big trouble. In the summer, a poorly ventilated attic can turn into an oven and make your air conditioner work overtime. During winter, moisture gets trapped and can rot the wood structure of your roof.
The ground around your home should slope away from the foundation, not toward it. Still, countless homes have poor grading that directs water straight toward the foundation. Over time, this can lead to foundation cracks, basement flooding, and structural issues that cost thousands to repair.
The tricky part is that the damage happens gradually, so homeowners don't connect the dots between that puddle near the foundation and the crack that appears months later. During a home inspection, the inspector will check drainage patterns, downspout placement, and foundation condition.
Your heating and cooling system might be working “just fine,” but that doesn't mean it's in good shape. HVAC systems have a lifespan, and many homeowners push them well past their prime without realizing it.
Home inspections often discover units that are inefficient, improperly maintained, or nearing the end of their useful life. This is when a replacement ends up saving you money in the long-run, but only if you know it’s time to upgrade.
