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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

Things to Look for When Touring a Home

Looking to buy or rent your dream house can be stressful. Once you have paid the money, there is no turning back or not liking the option. Many house owners or real estate agents usually try to sell you a house that is more than its actual worth. Since most people don’t know the tricks, they tend to go with the current price offered. Thankfully, Atlanta Property Inspection is here to provide you with some great tips about what to be careful of, and list other services that will be useful to you.

There Is More To A House Than What’s Visible

Most people tend to just look at the location, size, and the brightness of a house. However, some parts are way more important than those factors. Throughout this article, we will be going over some things to consider while trying to find your dream home.

Don’t Risk It, Ask About It!

Firstly, ask the owner or the real estate agent the roof's age. This is one of the most crucial parts in a property inspection. Different houses have different roofs and different roofs have different life expectancies. If no information could be obtained, contact your local building department. If a roof is old, in the long term, it may cause great problems to you and permanent damage to the infrastructure of the house. Secondly, you should ask about the plumbing. Most houses that were built before the 1990s have problematic plumbing like galvanized steel and aging copper. This leak may also cause difficult problems to the buyer in the long term if not noticed.

Potential Risk to Your Health

Another important part to consider is the electrical panel. Again, if you look at homes built before the 1990s, certain brands of electrical panels like Federal Pacific, Zinsco, Sylvania, and Challenger may cause severe damage or risk to your health. Overall, if an electrical panel is old and certain parts combine, it can cause your house to be on fire. Lastly, the water heater system. Finding the age can be easy because most likely there is a sticker on it stating the age. Most of them have a life-expectancy of 10-20 years. If older than this, it can be harmful to your health.

How Will Atlanta Property Inspection Help?

These are some information that most property inspection companies don’t even provide to you. Think about it. If even the information in this article can save you time and money, guess how much our professional staff can help you.
