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.

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!

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.

I’ll recommend him and Atlanta Property Inspections every time!

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.

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!

Why You Should Always Read A Home Inspection Agreement

A lot of people see contracts as something to get over, and without even taking the time to read them most of the time, we tend to sign them. However, contracts are very important documents that serve as a record of commitments to something for both parties and prevent further risks and potential conflicts. In almost every major decision we take, contracts are the backbone. So, even if you are a person who doesn’t necessarily read contracts or agreements before signing, there is one you should always read: home inspection agreements. In this article, we’ll go over the importance of reading home inspection agreements.

Here are some of the important points a home inspection agreement should cover.

  • Scheduled date of the inspection
  • The price of the inspection as well as any additional fees for extra features that will be covered.
  • What the inspection includes, which places the inspection will cover, how detailed it will be, etc.
  • What the inspection excludes and whether you want any additional services done.
  • People who will have access to the inspection report.

You’ll Be Aware Of The Scope Of Inspection

The scope and objectives of the house inspection are specified in the agreement. This way, you won’t be surprised when you learn that a certain aspect isn’t covered. Home inspections in Duluth are indeed very detailed processes; however, sometimes the potential issue becomes out of the inspector’s reach, and in this case, they will try to direct you to an expert for things like further testing. 

Future Insurance Claims

It’s important to know the things that will be covered in your inspection because, in case of an emergency, you will need insurance to cover the damage, and most of these insurance companies require a documented pre-inspection agreement before covering damage. You can assume that you won't be covered by the inspector's insurance company if an inspection agreement isn't executed before the inspection.

Setting Expectations

It is important to set certain expectations and standards for home sellers, buyers, and home inspectors. This way, you will have reliable guidelines that all parties have agreed upon. If the potential buyer and the home inspector find common ground with the inspection agreement, the customer will be satisfied with the service they receive, and the home inspector will be more confident and comfortable doing their job, knowing what’s expected from each party.

Post-Inspection

After the inspection, based on the results, as a potential buyer, you may prefer to back out of the sale if the repairs or replacements are too expensive. Another option is asking the homeowner to fix these issues before buying the house or agreeing to cover them on your own with the condition of decreasing the price of the house. If the issues are minor, you may prefer to cover them from your budget; after all, every home is different.
