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.

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.

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, 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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Top 10 Items Inspectors Look for in a Pre-Sale Inspection

One of the wisest investments you can make as a homeseller is getting a pre-sale inspection. It will tell you about the overall situation of your house before a future buyer’s home inspection report will surprise you with the result, potentially intervening in your financial plans. This way, you’ll know about the areas that need to be fixed and any adjustments that will put you in a more advantageous position when you finally decide to sell. Of course, home inspectors in Atlanta, GA will be the ones that will carry out this evaluation and write the report. In this article, we’ll go over some of the areas home inspectors look for in pre-sale inspections.

1. Water Stains and Mold

Water stains and mold growth can be a sign of an active leak or previous water damage and are one of the first things home inspectors look for. This can impact the value of your house, so the root of the stains should be inspected thoroughly.

2. Foundational Damage

The integrity of the foundation and the house’s overall structure will be inspected. Uneven floors, ceiling cracks, separated cabinets, or drainage problems can all be indicators of a damaged foundation. This is a major deal breaker for many homebuyers, so it needs to be inspected very thoroughly.

3. Inspect The Roof Gutters For Corrosion

The condition of the roof gutter may not seem as bad when you’re looking from the ground, but a deeper inspection may show that some are missing or corroded.

4. HVAC

For some areas, an AC unit can be more crucial than others, and its functionality is more important than any other system. So, home inspectors will inspect the HVAC unit and note the potential problems.

5. Electrical System

If the components of an electrical system of a house are not working properly, it can create major hazards like fire. So, outlets, switches, and circuit breakers should all be inspected carefully.

6. Plumbing System

A plumbing system’s components are wider than any other system, and as a result, the problems related to it also have a major range, from leaks to water heaters. Since damage to these components can cause water damage, they all need to be examined thoroughly.

7. Exterior of The House

The integrity of the exterior parts makes up a big portion of the future homebuyer’s decision. The intactness of gutters, downspouts, driveways, and doors should all be assessed.

8. Alarm System

The lights outside are checked along with the house security alarm system and smoke alarm system.

9.  Insulation

In a similar way to an HVAC system, if the area’s weather is a bit more extreme, insulation is critical for the house and needs to be checked.

10.  Appliances

If your house has built-in appliances, inspectors make sure that they’re functional. Fixtures are also inspected for leaks.
