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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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 called several companies for quotes, and I felt that Atlanta Property Inspections was the most welcoming!  Thereafter, I had a wonderful experience at the inspection. My inspector was thorough, kind, and willing to explain things and answer my questions on site.  He was very knowledgeable and very friendly.  I am glad I did not skip the inspection for this 950 square foot condo, and the review has been very helpful, during my due diligence period in evaluating this potential home.

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.

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.

What Is Important In A Home Inspection?

A home inspection contains so many complicated steps that become overwhelming to many people. The stress, long documents, and detailed photos that many home inspectors take to show the condition of your house can cause the excitement of buying or selling a house to decrease. In this article, we have gathered some information for you to learn more about what is important in a home inspection.

Purpose of a Home Inspection

There are so many purposes for getting a home inspection. If you are selling your property, then getting a home inspection allows you to see the fields that you can improve to increase the value of your house. In addition, getting a home inspection builds comfort in many potential home-buyers. If you are a home-buyer, getting a home inspection allows you to consider the worth of the house and take further actions according to these reports.

Things to Consider Before an Inspection

There are many things that one should consider before getting a home inspection. However, in this section of the article, our professional home inspectors have given a few tips for you to carefully look at to get a good report on your home inspection. So, let’s start.

  • Visible Damage: Home inspectors take extra time in looking for any visible damage such as those on the ceilings, walls, cabinet doors, or windows. If you are the seller or you want to purchase a resale home, then be sure to get those parts checked as this may impact you badly.
  • Drainage System and Leaks: As we said above, not much gets away from the eye of a home inspector. Drainage systems or any leaks are especially the things that many home inspectors are trained to look for. If you know that there are any leaks in your house, then fix them, for you may get a negative report that would prevent you from taking further action. Also, a good drainage system is a great indication that any possible floods or related activities can be easily prevented.
  • The Electricity: Ideally, we encourage everyone to get a professional electrician to get their house checked for any electricity-related activities before getting your home inspection. A good electricity report from the home inspector is really visible to people, for it is a crucial structure in our houses. With the right service, you can get your home inspector to give you full points on your electricity.
