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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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!
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!
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!

Mold is a fungus that grows mainly indoors in a house when it gets the necessary conditions to grow. Molds can depreciate the value of your house and cause future health problems for the residents. So, learning more about molds and where you can find them is important. Throughout this article, we will go through the conditions that promote mold growth, whether they can grow in new buildings, where you can find it in your home, the problems it can cause, and how Atlanta Property Inspections can help.
Four common conditions significantly increase mold growth. In this section, we will review them.
Homeowners tend to think that since they have a new building, it is impossible to see mold growth in their homes. This is a very common misconception. If the conditions that promote mold growth, as listed, are met in a part of any house, whether new or old, it is possible to have them. Since new homes are often built using concrete slabs, water doesn’t get absorbed easily and builds up in the soil below. So, this increases the chances of mold building up under in newer homes.
As we mentioned previously, as long as the conditions that promote mold growth are met, they can be found anywhere. However, some of the most common places in a house you can expect to find mold include but are not limited to bathrooms, corners of walls, the kitchen, the basement, and the garage. You can also check rooms where water may leak. Are you looking for molds in your home? Leave it to the certified and experienced home inspectors with Atlanta Property Inspections.
It is known that mold can cause damage to a house. It destroys anything that can feed them, such as wood and other organic materials. However, the damage it can do to the house's residents isn't commonly known. It will reduce the air quality and cause the fungi to be released into the house. Short-term symptoms can be itching, runny nose, watery eyes, and difficulty breathing. Unfortunately, long-term mold exposure can result in severe allergic reactions.
At Atlanta Property Inspections, we have been in this industry for over twenty-five years. Our staff are armed with knowledge and ready to give you peace of mind. Call us today to learn more about us and our services, or get estimates for your next home inspection service.
