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.

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.

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!

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 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!

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!

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.

What to Expect During a Property Inspection

If you’re buying, selling, or renting a house, a home inspection is one of the most important non-negotiable first steps. It protects you and the other party from many troubles no matter whether you’re the buyer, seller, or renter. As a buyer, it’s your final chance to figure out if everything is alright with the home you’re thinking about buying. As a seller, it’s your final chance to make the necessary adjustments on the issues regarding your home before selling. This process allows everyone involved in the deal to make well-informed judgments after seeing the report of the home inspector. However, if it’s your first time going through this process, you may not know what to expect. In this article, we will go over some of the things you should anticipate during the inspection.

What Do Home Inspections Cover?

Naturally, the first question is what a home inspection process entails. According to the American Society of Home Inspectors, home inspectors in Milton, GA will specifically look for these parts of the home.

  • Foundation of the house
  • Basement
  • Attic
  • Walls
  • Roofs
  • Rain gutters
  • Insulation
  • Windows and doors
  • Plumbing system
  • Electric system
  • Heating system
  • HVAC

Should You Attend the Inspections?

If you are the buyer in this scenario, attendance as a buyer is strongly recommended, as you can see where the inspector goes through in real time, and at the same time, you can ask any questions you may have regarding that area or issue to the inspector, which will be incredibly beneficial for you. As a buyer, you will have a good chance to ask your questions and gain firsthand personal knowledge of the state of the house. If you are the seller, it’s also recommended for you to be active in the inspection process, as the inspector might have some questions, and sharing the information you know regarding specific parts of the home builds trust.

How Much Time Is Needed For A House Inspection?

Normally, it takes two to four hours to inspect a home, unless there are special conditions. But of course, the size of the house, the extent of the potential damage, and finding the home in a ready-to-be-inspected state are all factors that play a role in the duration.

What Happens After the Inspection?

Most of the time, in one to two business days, you will receive the comprehensive written report. This report will include the findings of the places we have previously mentioned as well as the evidence, such as photos or guarantees. Depending on the inspector, it can also have a recommendations part, especially on areas that need urgent attention.
