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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Where Do Termites Come From?

When homeowners see a termite in their house, they tend to get worried and even stressed as these little creatures can cause much damage to your property that you won’t be able to notice. However, there isn’t anything to worry about. Throughout this article, we will go through what termites are, where they come from, how to prevent them from entering your house, what to do if they enter your home, and how Atlanta Property Inspection is involved.

What Are These Tiny Insects?

Termites are one of the insects that cause the most damage to your house. They are tiny and can’t be easily noticed unless looked at carefully. Like all insects, they look for the best place to get their food, a suitable environment like moisture and water. So, some of them live in your house. How can they cause damage to your home? Termites like to feed off of anything that contains cellulose. Cellulose is found in your wallpaper, wood, books, etc. So, termites can quickly eat your house up.

Where Exactly Do They Come From?

There are many types of termites in which each has its way of entering and colonizing a house. For example, a subterranean termite likes to live underground, and for them to enter, they must find a hole in a wood or door frame in the ground. Another example is dry wood termites. These termites, as they sound, love it when they find cracked or opened wood in a house. They close the door to themselves throughout winter and use the area to colonize. As they have more and more termites, the risk to your home increases more than ever.

How Do You Prevent Termites from Entering Your House?

Of course, we aren’t hopeless. We have a lot we can do to prevent these tiny insects from eating our houses:

  • We must keep our home clean and eliminate any excessive and unnecessary equipment.
  • It would be best if you tried to keep the moisture in the place as little as possible. This way, in addition to other insects, termites can not like your house.
  • The most critical action you can take is to get a home inspection. With a home inspection, you can ask the inspectors to locate the zones that termites can enter and colonize. You can quickly close these locations and prevent them from entering with the information given by these home inspectors.

What Do You Do If These Insects Enter Your House?

If you locate a termite colony and believe it has the potential to destroy significant parts of the house, you can call a pest control company. This can help you remove all the termites currently in the home, possibly preventing future ones from entering that location.
