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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

10 Best Places to Hide Valuables at Home

Burglars have always been around. According to FBI statistics, burglary victims faced a loss of around $3.4 billion in property losses. We can’t prevent burglars from stealing, but we can hide our valuable items and install more security in our house to stop them from coming to our house. That’s why Atlanta Property Inspection gathered this article for you. Throughout this article, we will go through ten different places and methods you can use to hide your valuables and how Atlanta Property Inspection helps. So, let’s get started.

10 Places or Methods You Can Hide Your Valuables With

Let’s see the list of 10 recommended places to keep your valuables:

  1. Hollow books: If you have a bookshelf with many books, having a hollow book with your valuable items inside will prevent any burglar from quickly stealing.
  2. Tapes or movies: If you have a VHS tape or movies in your house, just like the book method above, it can be very useful.
  3. Freezer: if a burglar came to someone’s house, unless they were hungry, the last place they would look is the freezer.
  4. Toilet Water Tank: One of the weirdest ways you can try to hide your valuables is by placing your valuables in the toilet’s water tank.
  5. Containers: Have containers around your house and put your valuable item in one of them. Put the containers next to a place where they won’t look suspicious.
  6. House Plant: Put your valuable items in a waterproof bag or container. Then plant them next to the roots of your plants. Change it once in a while so that the bag or container doesn’t decompose and you won’t lose your items.
  7. False wall outlet: If you want to go crazy with the precautions, you can place your valuable items inside a false wall outlet. No one would suspect anything.
  8. Old Suitcases: Putting your valuable item in old suitcases is not as safe as the options above; however, it is much safer than putting them in your drawers.
  9. Backyard: You can bury your valuable items in the backyard, as we see in the movies.
  10. Birthday Cards: Lastly, birthday cards to hide your valuable items can be very beneficial since no one will suspect a valuable item hiding under tens of birthday cards.
