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!
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!
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!
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 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!
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.
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.
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!
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.

The home inspection process can be stressful for both the buyer and the seller. It is the last chance for the buyer to find out about any issues with the house before buying it and for the seller, it is the last chance to deal with those issues and negotiate a price. If a professional home inspector discovers major issues with a property, potential purchasers can back out of the purchase or renegotiate the sale price. Therefore, it is important to clarify what is expected from the home inspection process.
A home inspection's goal is to gain an accurate picture of the home's condition before you take financial responsibility for it. Too many homeowners have found themselves responsible for tens of thousands of dollars in repair expenditures that they would never have taken on if they had had an inspection first. Generally, a home inspector will examine the foundation, structural components, roof, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems on the inside and outside of the house, and then produce a written home inspection report detailing the findings. It usually takes two to four hours, but depending on the size of the house, it may take longer. The home inspector may take a few days to send the written report after the physical inspection. It’s important for buyers should attend the inspection so that they can thoroughly inspect their new home and ask questions. Simply reading the report wouldn’t be as helpful. This might provide you with a lot more information than just the report.
Although it is thorough, it is important for both buyers and sellers to know that the process wouldn’t be absolutely perfect. Actually, government inspectors and contractors may not be qualified, or they may try to rush things, so it won’t be possible to notice every single error. Even though it’s not perfect, a home inspection is critical. You can’t simply go for the more affordable option of house inspection otherwise; you should be willing to spend thousands of dollars on your repairs. There’s not a single home or office without faults. It is normal for the home inspector to write a series of problems to the report. Good thing is, almost all of them are fixable so the question you should be asking is "How much will it cost to fix the problem?".
As a buyer, you don't want any surprises when you're buying a house. Surprise repairs lead to unexpected costs, which can quickly dampen your enthusiasm for your new house. You may reduce the likelihood of future repairs by simply hiring a certified home inspector. In Atlanta Property Inspection, we know that home inspection isn’t an easy job, and we will do our best to help you. We see ourselves as more than a simple property inspection company. We are highly experienced in the area and will be more than happy to help you with your property inspection. Just give us a call.
