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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
Dustin is VERY Detailed Oriented and found items and suggestions on the home that I would have never thought of, the report provided very good insight on how to move forward with the sale of the home! The staff at API was great to work with!

Buying a home is a big responsibility and requires the buyer to make the right decisions to avoid future repairs. While a home may look perfect on the surface, beneath it can hold many hidden issues that require deeper analysis. In this article, we have covered five of the most common problems found during property inspections and what they mean for buyers. If you want to learn more, call Atlanta Property Inspections today.
One of the structural elements of a home is the foundation. Foundational problems should never be avoided, as they reflect the overall condition of a property. Check for any cracks in the walls, floors, ceilings, and other parts of the house. Foundational problems can be a result of poor construction, wear and tear over time, or natural disasters that lead to such damage. If an inspector observes foundational problems, it might be wise to consult a structural engineer to learn more about their assessment.
There can be many forms of roof damage. The shingles can become loose or broken, the nail heads can be exposed, there can be incorrect flashing, or it can come to the end of its life in general. A roof lasts anywhere between twenty-five and fifty years. If the age of the roof exceeds these numbers, it is normal to expect roof damage on the property. As a buyer, replacing the roof can cost thousands of dollars. So ensure that there is proper documentation of the roof’s condition, and you can even use it in your negotiations.
Plumbing issues can be of different varieties. It can range from a simple, constantly running toilet to a major leak in the main pipes of a house. Almost all home inspections cover the plumbing system to uncover any problems related to it. Some older homes used polybutylene and galvanized pipes, which can corrode over time and lead to restricted water flows. Buyers should always ask about the age of a plumbing system and any history of problems. If they aren’t sure of the exact condition of the system, calling a professional plumber to conduct a thorough assessment can be a good idea.
Electrical system problems are one of the life-threatening issues that no buyer or seller should avoid. The inspection reveals any outdated knob and tube wiring, overloaded panels, the condition of the lights, or insufficient outlets. The buyer should always read the report of the professional inspectors to see whether further assessment of this system is needed.
The heating and cooling systems can sometimes not work as efficiently as expected. These units usually have a lifespan of around fifteen to twenty-five years. A home inspector in Sandy Springs can help identify the condition of the HVAC system and determine if it's necessary to change filters, seal ductwork, and improve the overall efficiency of the system.
