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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.
