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.

Frank Cooper and his team from Atlanta Property Inspections, Inc were excellent! They arrived on time  and thoroughly inspected all areas of the property I was considering renting. They found things that needed to be repaired by the landlord before we signed the lease. Frank reviewed his findings with us. He explained all of his concerns, and he patiently answered all of our questions. Then the next day I received a very detailed report that included several pictures and detailed explanations. If you want a kind, knowledgeable, and thorough inspector, don’t hesitate to call Frank Cooper with Atlanta Property. I would highly recommend him! Truly a 5 star company!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.
