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

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.

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.

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!

Jeremy was the best to work with! He was on time,  very thorough in his explanations of his findings, and took time with my clients to make sure he answered all of their questions. 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!

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.

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.

What Is Involved in a Home Inspection?

Are you in the process of buying a home and want to ensure that the condition of the property is in top shape before finalizing the sale? Do you already own an older home, but you’re concerned about the safety of your existing plumbing or electrical system? Then a professional home inspection is a great way to put your mind at ease and ensure that you receive the maximum return on your investment. The team at Atlanta Property Inspections is ready to help you achieve your goals. Our experienced home inspectors offer reliable home inspection services for clients in Atlanta, Georgia, and surrounding metro area cities. If you are feeling apprehensive about your appointment and want to know what to expect when the home inspectors arrive, read below so you can stay prepared.

Electrical System

This will include your breakers, electrical wiring, receptacles, conductors, light fixtures, outlets, and any other components of your system, which will ensure protection from fires and other potential health hazards.

Plumbing System

Your family will rely on your pipes and plumbing fixtures for a wide range of daily activities. It’s important to know that your plumbing system is in good shape. Your inspector should check for warning signs like loos fittings, low water pressure, rusted pipes, gutter repairs, and similar issues.

Heating and Cooling System

If you want to stay warm in the winter and cold in the summer without paying a fortune in monthly utility costs, then the HVAC system needs to be a major focus during your inspection. They will take a good look at the condition of your unit, as well as vents, filters, and other essential parts.

Structural Integrity

A house can look spectacular on the surface, but beneath the paint and pretty siding could lurk dangerous structural problems. Our team will inspect the framing, foundation, and other vital structural areas of your property to make sure that the house is sound and safely ready for occupation.

Roof

A bad roof can quickly ruin an otherwise beautiful home. Hidden leaks in the roof can cause massive water damage, encourage the development of toxic mold and leave your house susceptible to insect and pest infestations. We will check your roof shingles, skylights, and chimneys to make sure they will adequately protect your home from the elements.

Insulation and Ventilation

While the ventilation system and insulation are probably the most neglected part of your property, they play an important role in the safety and wellbeing of your property. Our property inspectors will pay close attention to your insulation, windows, attic, and exhaust systems for signs of trouble.
