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!
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!
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.
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.
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 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
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!
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.
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.

When buying or selling a home, a home inspection in Atlanta, GA is one of the most critical steps in the process. It uncovers hidden structural, mechanical, and safety issues before you close the deal. A thorough home inspection exposes hidden problems, provides negotiation leverage, and saves you money long-term.
At Atlanta Property Inspections, we follow a detailed process to make sure our customers understand the condition of a property. When you’re looking for a trusted home inspection company, we are the experts to call. In this guide, you’ll learn what is covered in a standard home inspection checklist.
The inspection typically begins with the home's structural elements. This can include the foundation, framing, floors, walls, ceilings, and other accessible structural components. Inspectors look for visible signs such as cracking, movement, moisture damage, or deterioration. Not every structural concern can be identified during a visual inspection, particularly when portions of the structure are concealed behind finished surfaces.
The roof is another major part of the checklist. An inspector may examine accessible roofing materials, flashing, gutters, downspouts, vents, and other visible components. The exterior inspection can include siding, trim, doors, windows, decks, porches, balconies, attached structures, and grading around the property. Inspectors may note damaged materials, poor drainage patterns, deterioration, or conditions that could allow water to enter the home.
A standard inspection reviews accessible plumbing components, including supply and drain pipes, faucets, fixtures, water heaters, and visible valves. Inspectors may operate fixtures and look for leaks, drainage problems, inadequate flow, or other observable issues. The inspection is not usually an examination of every pipe concealed within walls, floors, or underground areas.
Electrical components are also reviewed for visible safety and functional concerns. This may include the service equipment, panels, wiring that is accessible, outlets, switches, and certain protective devices. An inspector may test representative outlets and switches and look for conditions such as damaged components, improper wiring, missing covers, or other observable deficiencies.
The home's heating and cooling equipment is generally included as well. Depending on the property and system, the inspection may cover furnaces, air-conditioning equipment, thermostats, accessible ductwork, and ventilation components.
The inspector evaluates the system's observable condition and operation at the time of inspection. A standard inspection does not normally involve taking equipment apart to diagnose internal mechanical problems.
Inside the home, the checklist can cover walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, stairs, railings, cabinets, countertops, and other accessible components. Bathrooms and kitchens receive attention as well. Home inspectors may operate plumbing fixtures, check visible areas beneath sinks, test appliances included within the inspection scope, and note signs of leaks or damage.
Accessible attic spaces, basements, and crawl spaces can reveal problems that are not obvious from living areas. Inspectors may look for moisture intrusion, inadequate ventilation, insulation concerns, visible structural issues, and signs of pests or deterioration. Accessibility matters. If an area cannot be safely or reasonably entered, it may be excluded from the inspection.
A home inspection handled by experts allows you to identify hidden problems, gives you negotiating power, and provides an escape hatch if the property has major flaws. Whether you’re buying an older home or a new one, having a professional home inspection company review the property is a smart decision. At Atlanta Property Inspections, we are a team of local home inspectors with over 25 years of experience in the industry and countless satisfied customers. Our inspectors are licensed, experienced, and dedicated to excellence. Contact us now to request an appointment!
