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.
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.
Thorough knowledge of items addressed in report. Home inspector was able to communicate any issues found with buyer and help explain the different items and their severity.
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!
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!
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!
The inspector was really thorough and was patient in explaining to me what he was observing. He showed me where the shutoff valve was for the water and gave recommendations on various things. The report that was provided made sense and pictures were taken of some things that were found. The inspector was also very personable which put me at ease about asking questions. Thank you, Alex and Atlanta Property Inspections!
Dustin was absolutely amazing. He did such a thorough job and was super friendly and helpful in explaining everything to me as a first-time homeowner. Highly recommend this company! Very timely and professional throughout the entire process as well!
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.

The longevity and functionality of your windows depend on proper maintenance. Furthermore, well-maintained windows contribute to the preservation of your home's worth because they are a significant investment. So, in this article, we will try to cover the fundamentals of window maintainance.
Regular cleaning is the easiest way to prevent damage to windows. Dust and filth can be easily and quickly removed from wooden windows by using a moist cloth. Make sure the fabric isn't very damp. If not, you run the risk of the timber frames decaying. To clean metal or vinyl frames, use warm water and a small amount of soap or mild detergent. Use only non-abrasive cleaning agents that won't scuff your window frames. It is recommended that you clean the tracks on the frame in addition to the window panes. Irrespective of the material composition of the frame, this step is critical. Debris, spider webs, and moisture accumulation are common in the track area. To maintain the window tracks in good condition, use clean water or a suitable cleaning to remove any muck.
Your windows should be inspected once every three months. You'll be able to identify any possible problems in this way before they worsen. First, look for any evidence of deterioration on the window sash and frame. In order to identify any possible problems, open and close the window. Checking the panes for indications of moisture is also necessary if your windows have two panes. The weather stripping needs to be changed if any are visible.
Because the strength of the windowpane is no longer operating at its peak, cracked glass is a possible accident waiting to happen. Furthermore, air can flow into and out of your property through even tiny cracks, and you will see the result of this via your monthly heating or cooling bills also when there's a broken window, especially if they're double or triple pane windows, the argon gas which between each pane is also going to get out and will cause the panes to not to work correctly.
Avoid using abrasive products on glass because abrasive cleaning solutions can leave tiny scratches on glass surfaces. In the long term, this could result in cracks or other major damage; in the near term, it will significantly affect a window's looks, making it appear deteriorated. Instead, if you want to clean your windows, use a clean microfiber cloth and a mild cleanser, like soap and water. This goes for all types of windows and frames.
Before moving into a new home, inspecting all parts of your home, including the windows, is also crucial. Windows are barriers that protect your home and impact your daily lives a great deal. As a future homebuyer, in the midst of all the chaos around you, you might not inspect the house as detailed as it needs to be. So, home inspections are crucial in order to prevent skipping through any step. Luckily, professionals at Atlanta Property Inspection are ready to help you on this journey. Our professional home inspectors are all ASHI-certified and have a great deal of experience in the area. Call us today to schedule your appointment.
