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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

He was detailed, and provided follow up when we needed additional questions answered. He went above and beyond! Best, quality, customer service I’ve seen in a long time! I’ll recommend him and Atlanta Property Inspections every time!

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 in Atlanta, GA 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.
