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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Your Building Inspection Checklist

Inspections are required by law when a new building is built in the United States. Inspections ensure the safety and structural integrity of any structure, no matter whether it’s residential, commercial, or industrial. A building inspection is a review of construction by a professional inspector. The inspector will observe various parts of the building and will write a report about the work site to ensure that it meets safety laws and building requirements. In the end, it will give you detailed information about the safety, adherence to regulations, and detailed evaluation of each part of the building. These details are crucial whether you’re looking forward to buying a building, selling it, or signing a lease agreement.

Building Information

The building details come first on the checklist. Before anything, the person reading the inspection report should know which building is referred to. So, if there’s any building ID, it should be included. Additionally, building site location, inspector’s name, and date of inspection should be included.

Exterior of the building

The outside of a building includes everything from the landsaping to the roofing and even parking lots. The inspector will examine the building's structural soundness and will write if there’s any necessary repairs that need to be made. Sometimes, inspectors work with other specialists to create a more reliable report.

Safety Standarts

Building standards must be included in every building inspection checklist. Safety and following the local and federal laws when it comes to maintaining a building is one of the most important parts, especially in the report. There must be strict adherence to the building codes and restrictions imposed by authorities for the safety of everyone.

Plumbing and Drainage

The plumbing system of the property, as well as the external gutters and down pipes, will be inspected. Exterior drainage and plumbing inside will both be evaluated because it’s quite easy to come across unpleasent surprises after building a building.

Electrical System

Electric systems are by far one of the most crucial systems in a building, especially if it includes offices and other work spaces. During the inspection, a complete assessment of all cables, systems, and components should be done and should be ensured that they don’t pose any risks and comply with legal safety regulations. Remember that if an electrical system is not in good condition, a complete assessment of all cables, systems, and components should be done and should be ensured that they don’t pose any risks and comply with legal safety regulations. shape, it can pose serious risks to everyone’s health. 

Smoke Detectors And Fire Sprinkler Systems

One important point that no one should miss during the inspections are the smoke detectors and fire sprinkler systems. In case of a fire, these two will be the two lifesaving components. Not having functional sprinkler systems and fire alarms are major health hazards.

Temperatures and Insulation

The comfort of your building is largely dependent on the temperatures inside. If you want to keep the hot summer air outside while needing the cold air to be outside in the winter, insulation is the key. Therefore, it should be included on your building inspection checklist.
