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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

Fall Maintenance Tips

Fall is the perfect time to get your house in shape for the cooler months ahead.

Although Autumn can be one of the busiest seasons for homeowners, it’s also the best time to take advantage of the moderate weather to repair any damages before the first frost sets in. Here are some home maintenance ideas that will keep your home running in peak condition all winter.

HOME EXTERIOR

GUTTERS: Check your gutters for repair and cleaning needs. Make sure that the gutters are sloped correctly so that they will drain to the downspouts. Consider upgrading the gutters to include a gutter cap or screen to reduce gutter cleaning needs.

ROOF: Check your roof for debris, damaged shingles, and proper vent flashings. A professional roofer may be needed if shingle and flashing repairs are called for.

DECK / PORCH: Inspect guard railings, hand railings and supports posts for repair needs. Empty all pots and plants and store in a dry place to avoid freeze damage to the pots. Clean all deck furniture and store in a dry place.

YARD: Rake all leaves and yard debris away from the foundation walls and walkways. Fertilize the lawn with a pre-emergent weed killer to ensure a green yard next spring. Drain garden hoses and store inside. Drain fuel from all gas powered equipment.  Clean and store all garden tools indoors.

LIGHTING: Replace all exterior light bulbs; consider upgrading exterior lighting to include long lasting bulbs, motion activated lighting, or photo cell operated lights for improved performance and security.

HOME INTERIOR:

FIREPLACE: Have the fireplace and chimney professionally cleaned and inspected prior to making winter fires.

HEATING SYSTEM: Have the furnace inspected and serviced by a professional HVAC contractor; check burners for proper adjustment to insure the most efficient use of gas.

CEILING FANS: Have all ceiling fans reversed to create upward draft that redistributes warm air from the ceiling to the lower portions of the room.

WNDOWS & DOORS: Inspect windows and doors for gaps and drafts; install weatherstripping or caulk sealants as needed. Repair or replace any loose or damaged hardware.

THERMOSTATS: Consider upgrading to a smart thermostat for improved energy efficiency and comfort. This type of thermostat offers lots of new features that out-perform traditional thermostats
