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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
I have hired this company doing inspection on the property that I was planning to purchase in Georgia. I’ve live in California when this was done. Frank Cooper and his team did a great job of inspection and giving me with every details. I really appreciate the advice and the report. Thank you
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!

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.
