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!
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!
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.
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.
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 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!
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.
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.
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!
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.

Whether your house is a brand-new build or a charming relic from decades past, no home is perfect. Over the years, the pros at Atlanta Property Inspections have seen just about everything from quirky cosmetic flaws, DIY surprises, and even serious structural concerns hiding beneath freshly painted walls.
That’s why scheduling a home inspection before you buy, and again every few years, is one of the smartest decisions a home buyer, or homeowner, can make. It helps protect your investment, your safety, and your peace of mind.
In this brief article brought to you by Atlanta Property Inspections, we shed light on the top 10 most common issues we’ve uncovered during inspections. If you’re looking for licensed and experienced home inspectors in the area, then call or message Atlanta Property Inspections to get in touch!
A roof doesn’t need to be leaking to be problematic. Missing shingles, worn flashing, and poor ventilation often show up long before you’ll see water stains on a ceiling. If unaddressed, roof problems can snowball into costly interior repairs.
Electricity keeps a modern home running while outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, and improperly installed fixtures can put household safety at risk. Our home inspectors in Sandy Springs regularly find double-tapped breakers, loose connections, and older fuse boxes still in use. These aren’t just technical glitches; they can be fire hazards.
Slow leaks, aging pipes, rusted water heaters, and low water pressure are common and sneaky plumbing issues that may seem minor but often point to bigger problems behind the walls and beneath the surface. A skilled inspector can identify the early signs before they turn into major repairs.
Heating and cooling systems work hard year-round, which means they wear down over time. Moreover, HVAC accounts for roughly half of energy bills in most households. Dirty coils, poor airflow, and old heat exchangers all reduce efficiency. This can mean unexpectedly high energy bills and/or premature replacements soon after moving in.
Water should move away from a home, not toward it. Sadly, improper grading and clogged gutters often allow water and moisture to build around the foundation. Over time, this can cause structural shifting, basement leaks, and mold growth.
It’s natural for a new home to settle, and you might see some cracks form as a result. Distinguishing between cosmetic ones and structural concerns is key. Misaligned doors, bowed walls, and shifting support beams are issues home inspectors routinely flag.
Bathrooms, attics, and basements are prime real estate for moisture buildup. Combine that with poor ventilation and you’ve got the breeding ground for mold and mildew. Mold isn’t always a major problem – if you catch it early on.
Mother Nature and Father Time will take their toll on a home’s exterior. Rotting wood, damaged siding, and failing caulking can allow moisture inside. While often easy to repair, these issues are among our most common findings during a home inspection.
Foggy windows, deteriorating seals, and sticking doors may seem annoying at worst, but they often point to poor insulation and shifting structures. Energy loss from leaky windows adds up quickly, and the repair is typically cost-effective.
The attic is one of the most overlooked areas of a home. As it turns out, poor insulation, damaged ducts, and blocked ventilation are common and can cause extreme temperature swings and poor energy efficiency.
Even if a a house feels solid and comfortable, there may be issues quietly developing out of sight. A second look every few years provides peace of mind and helps prioritize maintenance. A reputable home inspection company like Atlanta Property Inspections can uncover minor issues before they become major problems.
