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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

What Buyers Misunderstand About Home Inspection Reports

The process of going through a home inspection process can be stressful for many future homeowners, knowing that the result is one of the main things that will decide whether they will or will not end up buying the home or not. Home inspection reports are prepared in a very detailed manner in order to protect both parties from unwanted future issues, but sometimes inexperienced prospective buyers may think of everything that is written on the report as a big issue. As a result, they may be exposed to serious stress and even miss out on a big chance. Understanding which parts of the home inspection reports can be most stressful for homeowners and what to do when faced with them will save you a lot of trouble.

Passing or Failing A Home Inspection

Even though it’s a very common misconception, a lot of people claim that a certain house either passed or failed the inspection. However, the home inspection process is more complicated than this, and passing and failing a home based on inspection isn’t possible. Of course, examining all parts of the property is the responsibility of a qualified home inspector. All the purpose of the mentioned information is to help the prospective buyer decide on what matters the most when it comes to picking their new home, and based on the criteria, they will choose to proceed or not to proceed with the deal.

Every Single Problem That Is Mentioned

Another major misconception is the idea that every problem mentioned is important, urgent, or expensive. By design, home inspection reports are supposed to mention all the possible issues the inspector found no matter how small or big they are.  When homeowners see a major list of the things that can be replaced or repaired, they automatically think that a lot of issues must be present in the house and will eventually cause major spending. In fact, many of the problems that are mentioned are small and low-cost.

Uncovering All Hidden Damage

Finally, it’s important to mention that a home inspection cannot uncover every single hidden problem existing inside the house. Most of the time, the home inspection process tends to be noninvasive, and unfortunately, sometimes the biggest issues regarding the house come out when walls are opened or floors are removed. That unfortunately isn’t something doable for all homes. As a result, a home inspector can only advance with the symptoms they recognize regarding that specific system. When that system doesn’t show any visible signs, of course assuming the house has that specific set of problems will be incorrect. As a result, home inspectors cannot be expected to know all the hidden problems of the house.
