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
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.
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!
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 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!
Jeremy was the best to work with! He was on time, very thorough in his explanations of his findings, and took time with my clients to make sure he answered all of their questions. 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!
Dustin was absolutely amazing. He did such a thorough job and was super friendly and helpful in explaining everything to me as a first-time homeowner. Highly recommend this company! Very timely and professional throughout the entire process as well!
This was my first experience with Atlanta Property Inspections. Alex Sozonov was my inspector. Very oriented details and willing to explained all questions with professional knowledge. Report came into my email box late night. Clearly, it has been covered all details. Plus, show up on time.

Finding the key to maintaining concrete surfaces around your house is essential to improving their longevity and appearance. In this article, we will try to provide you with useful guidance designed for long-term concrete maintenance, which can vary from regular cleaning methods to preventative actions against cracks and stains. Concrete surfaces are all around us, and whether it's your patio, driveway, or foundation, protecting these surfaces is important both for structural integrity and aesthetic reasons. Keep reading to learn more.
Inspect your concrete for chipping or cracks as you clean it off and get it ready for the winter. Problems with a concrete surface may spread quickly if the weather becomes chilly. Throughout the chilly months, a seemingly minor issue could become more problematic. Any flaws should be fixed as soon as possible to prevent further damage. In colder temperatures, water pooling may also result in an ice problem.
To get rid of debris, stains, and grime from concrete surfaces, use water and a light detergent. For more difficult-to-remove stains, use a stiff brush or power washer. It is crucial that you clean your internal concrete surfaces with specific cleaners, depending on where they are located. Concrete outside will usually tolerate a power washer, but concrete countertops will require a different type of cleaner. Polishes, sealants, or finishes are typically applied to indoor concrete. When you use harsh chemicals to clean, these chemicals can dissolve and harm the sealants and eventually harm the integrity of the concrete. So, before cleaning a surface, examine the cleaning product recommendations provided by the makers. If they're not specifically mentioned, just opt for classic soap and water.
Concrete can be shielded from moisture and stains by applying a high-quality sealer every few years. Select a sealant that is appropriate for the particular application and local climate. Choose sealants made to last hard winters if you live in a colder area.
You still want to keep your concrete dry and free from moisture damage even though a sealer will shield it from it. By its nature, concrete is porous and absorbs liquids like a sponge does. Over time, these liquids can lead to fissures in the concrete and shorten its lifespan.
To avoid roots lifting or creating cracks in concrete, keep vegetation trimmed down and away from concrete surfaces. Cut back branches that overhang to stop storm-related debris from raining down and damaging property.
In conclusion, we hope that homeowners who are concerned about maintaining the concrete integrity of their property find this article to be a useful resource. Applying the techniques in this article will not only help the exteriors of how the concrete looks but also protect your property against future structural problems. To extend the life of your concrete surfaces and reduce the need for expensive repairs, keep in mind that routine care is essential. If you are living in the Atlanta area, professional home inspectors of Atlanta Property Inspection can help you determine which parts of your home need repairs and maintenance. Home inspection is an essential process in both buying and selling a house, but remember that it's not its only use. With the valuable information home inspectors provide to you, you will be more prepared to take on maintenance issues head-on. Call us today to learn more and schedule your appointment.
