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!

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!

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 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!

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, 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.

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.

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.

5 Disasters to Catch with a Home Inspection

Undoubtedly, one of the most important milestones in every person’s life is purchasing a house. It’s a very major financial and life decision, so a lot of thought and consideration goes into this process. One of the key factors that determine whether you should be buying or selling a home is the home inspection. Even if a house could seem ideal at first glance, there can be lots of hidden problems that could make it a financial trap. On the other hand, with a thorough home inspection process, these hidden issues can be brought to the surface, and whether you’re planning to buy the house or sell it, you can avoid major disasters beforehand. Here are some of the most important problems you can catch with a home inspection.

Electrical System

A home that is improperly wired may experience a variety of issues; it can cause your brand new appliances to malfunction and can even start potential fires. This dysfunctional electrical system will be discovered by the home inspector before you buy the house, and this way, you can discuss your options with the seller. If you are the seller, when this kind of outdated wiring is caught, you might need to think about doing a complete upgrade.

Radon

In soil, rock, and water, uranium naturally breaks down to produce the toxic gas known as radon. Through different holes, this gas can enter your home and can significantly increase the risk of lung cancer, especially if the residents are exposed to it for a long amount of time. Therefore, it’s crucial for home inspectors to check the house for radon. Luckily, a radon reduction system can successfully reduce the levels, making the house safe to live in later on.

Water Damage

The amount of damage water can do to your home is beyond comprehension. It harms the structure, causes mold and mildew growth, makes your home prone to termites, and costs thousands of dollars. So, having a specialist inspect your home for potential water damage and for active signs of water damage is very important before buying or selling a home. Water damage may be the biggest potential disease a house inspection may find.

Foundation

Every home's foundation is its most important part. When there are major structural issues that are unresolved, these problems may cause extreme instability, making your house hazardous to occupy. For long-term structural issues, a home inspector in Suwanee will search for indications of water damage, foundation movement, or other issues, so your investment will be worth your time and money.

Termites

Small insects called termites have a habit of entering the wood and disrupting its integrity. As a result, the impacted areas deteriorate, leading to the weakening and eventual collapse of the wooden structures. Since most homes are made up of wood and are decorated with wooden furniture, termites are one of the primary enemies of your home’s safety and integrity. If termite damage is found during a home inspection, the home inspectors can let you know about the possible dangers and can recommend a company to deal with the termites.

Reliable Home Inspectors in Atlanta

A home inspection is a vital tool for foreseeing possible catastrophes. After reading the home inspection report, you’ll have a better understanding of the property's state and can make a well-informed decision. By hiring a reliable home inspection company, you will be providing yourself with long-term peace of mind.
