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!
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.
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!
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
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.
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!
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.
My client used the company for their home inspection during their due diligence period. Jeremy and his partner were very kind and accommodating with answering questions. The report was very thorough and I like that they also note positive things about the homes in their report as well and not just what's wrong with the house. You can read the good and the bad.
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!

Let’s admit—moving into a new home is a very exciting event for most of us; maybe you are moving into your dream home after waiting years, or maybe you just moved to the city you’ve been wanting to for so long. It’s a big change in people’s lives and brings serious excitement; however, along with that excitement comes the panic. There’s so much to take care of; many things need to be handled at the same time, and all of these can feel very overwhelming, and it can be hard to know where to begin. To help you in this amazing journey, we prepared this guide for you, hoping it can make your moving process easier and faster.
Before moving to any home, having the property inspected by a professional home inspector is very important and can benefit you a great deal in the years to come. If you recently bought the property, most likely you already went through with this step, as it’s mandatory in certain states. However, even if you are moving into the newly leased apartment or home, getting a professional inspection is very important, as it might reveal hidden problems that you will not simply observe and give you a clear image of what the situation is like, and you may decide to seek help for repairs or replacements and have proof of what the home’s situation was like when you first moved in.
Before you start unpacking, or even carrying boxes, you should clean your new house. Ensuring the place is completely clean after you’ve moved in will be harder, so why not take care of it as the house is readily empty? Also, if you are moving into a home with carpets and are sensitive to dust or animal fur or simply an allergic person, you can consider getting your carpets cleaned by either getting a machine or through professional services.
Before the move, make sure to prepare an additional box next to the normal boxes you put your items in. This box will be for the essential items you will need immediately after moving, so you won’t have to dig through individual boxes trying to figure out where your charger is. Instead, you can put in a change of clothes for a few days, chargers and other electronics you may need (like tablets or computers), a first aid kit, basic cleaning tools, and medicines. Having a dedicated box like this will make your life much easier in the first days in your new home.
When you start packing in your old home, try to pack things room by room instead of just throwing similar category items in one box. Make sure to clearly label the boxes so you won’t be confused about where they go. This way, when you’re unpacking, you can just place your furniture, your accessories, and your items at once right after cleaning and make that room completely available to you. We advise starting with the kitchen or bedroom, as they are the ones you will need to be available as soon as possible.
On your first or second day, change the address of your services and utilities. You can even do this before moving; this way you’ll know all of the appliances you’ll be running throughout the day will face no problems and make your moving-in process much easier.
Become familiar with your house. Knowing where certain things are located in case of an emergency is very important. So, make sure to know the location of the main circuit breaker, shutoff valves, fire extinguishers, gas meter and shutoffs, as well as sewer and attic access.
We know that moving is a significant life-changing event and can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be an unpleasant event when you remember it. Take this process easy on yourself, enjoy it as much as you can with decorating and styling things to your taste, and try to stick to a schedule on what needs to be done on which days, so you’ll feel less overwhelmed. Having a home inspection previously will erase a lot of questions from your head. So, if you are looking for a reliable home inspection company before taking this big step, the professionals at Atlanta Property Inspection are here to help you. We are an ASHI-certified inspection company that is ready to offer home inspections for all occasions. All you have to do is call us today and schedule your appointment.
