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!
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!
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.
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 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!
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!
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.
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, 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.

Buying a home? One of the essential steps in the transaction process is a home inspection. It protects your financial investment by revealing hidden structural or mechanical flaws. At Atlanta Property Inspections, we’ve been around for over 25 years, and if there’s one thing we’ve learned is that most home buyers don’t know what to expect. Today, we’ll share the things that we as home inspectors wished you’d know so that you can move forward with confidence.
One of the biggest misconceptions is that a home inspection guarantees you'll find a flawless property. Even brand-new homes can have defects, while older homes naturally show signs of wear and tear.
Inspectors are looking for safety hazards, major defects, and maintenance issues. Finding problems doesn't automatically mean you should walk away from the purchase. Many issues are routine and can either be repaired before closing or factored into negotiations. A professional home inspection company in Atlanta, GA can advise you on how to proceed depending on what the inspection uncovers.
Some home buyers shop around for the cheapest quote on a home inspection company—and we get it. Everyone wants to save some money. But if you were undergoing delicate surgery, would you look for the cheapest surgeon or the best surgeon? It’s the same with a home inspection company. Believe it or not, the cheapest quote can end up being the most expensive decision. Some companies are more experienced than others and go the extra mile to deliver exceptional services. So, choose a trusted home inspection company that offers competitive prices without cutting corners.
Most sellers listing their homes are honest people and won’t try to hide anything from potential buyers. But we know that there are a few sellers that may try to dupe unsuspecting buyers. We’ve been in the home inspection industry for over 25 years and have seen it all when it comes to ways dishonest sellers hide defects. So please be aware that there are sellers who cannot be trusted, and you can’t afford to waive a home inspection.
If your schedule allows, plan to attend the final walkthrough. This is essential to get a firsthand deeper understanding of your potential home’s condition. Do not solely rely on the comprehensive report—it does not compare with physically walking through a home with a trained home inspector. When you are present during the home inspection, you can ask questions in real-time and learn about home maintenance and operation. You’ll gain confidence and peace of mind by confirming that the home aligns with your expectations. Think of it as a hands-on homeowner’s orientation.
A home inspection is a thorough visual evaluation, but it has limits. Inspectors cannot predict future failures or see behind finished walls, beneath flooring, or inside underground pipes.
Some hidden problems simply aren't visible during the inspection. If there are signs suggesting additional concerns—such as foundation movement, plumbing leaks, or electrical issues—the inspector may recommend further evaluation by a specialist. Most home inspectors have contacts for specialists who can help you address any concerns found during the inspection.
At Atlanta Property Inspections, we want you to have a great home inspection, and that’s our job. After all, an informed buyer is a confident buyer. Give us a call when you’re looking for a dependable home inspection company. We are licensed, experienced, and committed to providing top-notch services.
