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!
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.

Are you looking to buy or sell a property? If so, investing in a home inspection is crucial to prevent costly surprises down the line. Although most people often focus on surface-level issues like updated fixtures and fresh paint, seasoned home inspectors know how to read between the lines. At Atlanta Property Inspections, we have highly trained experts who can pinpoint warning issues early and recommend effective solutions to avoid spending thousands down the road. With years of industry experience, you can count on us to identify common red flags that often go undetected, giving you confidence before making decisions. Let’s explore the common indicators that home inspectors in Atlanta, GA notice most often to ensure you take the correct steps.
While foundation issues are usually cosmetic, they often signal underlying issues that can compromise the building’s stability. Home inspectors can distinguish between harmless cracks and more severe issues that put your loved ones at risk. Additionally, professionals also check for sloping doors, windows, and floors that won’t close properly. These indirect signs often point to foundation settlement or shifting, prompting immediate attention to prevent devastating scenarios. The most common indicators of foundation damage include cracks wider than an inch, horizontal crevices in basement walls, and bulging or bowing foundation walls.
One of the most expensive home maintenance costs is roof replacement, depending on the material and size. Home inspectors usually look beyond obvious leaks to spot subtle warning signs, such as shingle discoloration, damaged or missing flashing around vents and chimneys, and granule loss that indicates aging asphalt shingles. Additionally, professionals can identify excessive granules from gutters, as it is an indicator of deteriorating roof materials. In addition, a trusted home inspection company asks about the roof’s age and any previous repairs, preventing unplanned and costly roof replacements.
Another major red flag that home inspectors detect easily is faulty electrical work. If you attempt DIY installations or repairs, experienced inspectors can check for outdated components or subpar connections that pose serious safety issues. Some of the obvious signs inspectors look for include double-tapped breakers, exposed wiring, and improper installations that do not meet local electrical codes and safety regulations. As a prospective home buyer, you may miss modern-looking switches and outlets that mask hidden electrical problems. By hiring a reputable home inspection company, you can rest assured that the upgrades are worth the investment and contribute to a higher return on investment (ROI).
Water intrusion indoors, whether it is due to basement flooding or a damaged plumbing fixture, ignoring the aftermath can cost tens of thousands of dollars to repair. Home inspectors often check for fresh paint in suspicious locations where buyers may not notice. Unlike untrained individuals, they can recognize efflorescence on basement walls, which indicates underlying moisture problems. Also, trained experts notice musty odors that suggest hidden mold growth, keeping your family safe for years to come.
Finally, neglecting routine home maintenance often exacerbates hidden problems that emerge after buying a property. A licensed home inspector can recognize patterns of deferred property care that suggest bigger underlying problems. Professionals notice cracked caulking around doors and windows, rusted HVAC units, poorly serviced furnaces, and damaged downspouts. Although the real estate market can make buyers waive inspections, this strategy can lead to costly fines and legal action due to violations.
