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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you want to partner with home inspectors that blend technical expertise with a customer-first approach, then consider Atlanta Property Inspections. With over 25 years of industry experience, ASHI-certified inspectors, and a buyer protection plan, our team brings confidence and clarity to one of life’s biggest decisions.
