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.

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!

This was my first experience with Atlanta Property Inspections. Alex Sozonov was my inspector. Very oriented details and willing to explained all questions with professional knowledge. Report came into my email box late night. Clearly, it has been covered all details. Plus, show up on time.

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.

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.

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!

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.

What Sets Apart a Great Home Inspection Company

When shopping for a new home, most buyers focus on the obvious: Is the flooring wood, stone, or carpet? Do the countertops sparkle like the ones in a model home? Does the backyard slope in a way that will send every rainstorm rushing toward the foundation? These are all fair questions, but they only scratch the surface.

Beneath and beyond the paint, trim, and landscaping lies the real story of a home’s condition. And that’s a story best told by a trained professional. In fact, this is why lenders typically require a professional home inspection before finalizing a loan. But here’s the tricky part: there are inspection companies that go through the motions and those that bring true expertise and reassurance.

So, what sets apart a great home inspection company in Atlanta? This article addresses exactly that.

Depth of Knowledge and Certification

A top-tier inspector isn’t just someone who can spot a leaky faucet. They’re trained to understand systems from the ground up: electrical wiring, HVAC performance, roofing materials, grading, plumbing, insulation, and beyond. Once they've got everything down, they prove themselves and get certified.

The gold standard is certification through professional organizations such as the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI). This credential signals that the inspector has undergone rigorous training, adheres to a code of ethics, and is committed to continuing education in a constantly evolving industry.

When choosing an inspector, always ask if they are certified, and by whom. It’s reassurance that the person combing through your potential new home knows what to look for and how to explain it in plain English.

Clear and Actionable Reporting

Even the sharpest inspector is little help if their findings are buried in a confusing or overly technical document. Great home inspectors deliver more than just a checklist; they provide a detailed, organized, AND easy-to-understand report that explains what’s working, what needs attention now, and what could become a problem in the future.

Communication and Professionalism

More generally, a great inspector understands that buying a home can be nerve-wracking and makes an effort to communicate professionally. They'll take time to walk the buyer through the findings, answer questions without jargon, provide context for their observations, and remain patient and approachable throughout.

Professionalism also extends to punctuality, appearance, and respect for the property. You’re trusting this person to comb through every corner of a house you might call home - so it matters that they treat the process, and your time, with respect.

Tools and Technology

While experience and expertise are important factors, the right tools elevate an inspection. Things like moisture meters, infrared cameras, and drones for roof inspections aren’t gimmicks; they're valuable in helping inspectors uncover hidden issues. A company that invests in modern equipment is demonstrating a commitment to thoroughness and accuracy.

Local Experience

Atlanta’s homes are as diverse as its neighborhoods and people. Whether it's the historic bungalows in Grant Park, the sleek Midtown condos, or the sprawling suburban builds in Alpharetta, every type of property presents its own inspection challenges.

A local home inspection company with decades of experience in the Atlanta area will have seen it all - and will know what common problems to look for in each style of home.

Plus, they'll be familiar with local building codes and regulations.
