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.
This was my first experience with Atlanta Property Inspections. Alex Sozonov was my inspector. Very oriented details and willing to explained all questions with professional knowledge. Report came into my email box late night. Clearly, it has been covered all details. Plus, show up on time.
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!
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!
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.
Dustin is VERY Detailed Oriented and found items and suggestions on the home that I would have never thought of, the report provided very good insight on how to move forward with the sale of the home! The staff at API was great to work with!
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!
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.
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.
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.

Fungi indoors and outdoors are one of the most frequent occurrences in houses. There are many different types of fungi; however, people aren’t still aware of their dangers. Throughout this article, we will look at what a mold is, its causes, its effects, its dangers, and how we can help you avoid those dangers.
The definition of a mold is a fungus that grows indoors. People usually realize it from their smells. To determine whether something is mold, consider these features: a cottony texture and a greenish, yellow, black, and white color. Most of these fungi grow on dead organic matter and reproduce from the pores. They live on wood and paper backing on drywall.
Molds can be caused by many things. To provide the moisture environment that it is looking for, leaks on roofs are its perfect opportunity. This is the most common form; however, there are others such as groundwater leaks because of clogged rain gutters, plumbing leaks, and stagnant water. The water and constant dampness cause instability of air circulation and indoor temperatures.
The causes may seem like a mold has a small chance of surviving in your house; however, if there is even one leak that you don’t know about, then it can have permanent effects on your house. Most people have allergic reactions, immune responses, respiratory symptoms, cough, and infectious diseases. The unnoticed molds can cause unimaginable effects on your and your family’s health. In addition to the damage to your health, it also causes damage to the infrastructure of the house. If a mold is left unnoticed for a long time, molds can cause the walls and ceilings of your house to collapse. If the fungus is in the infrastructure, then it may cause the whole house to collapse, not just the ceiling and the walls.
If you have regular air circulation and heating of the house, you maintain a humidity level between 40% and 60%, you regularly check your air conditioners and refrigerators, you discard potential mold growing materials, you open windows and try to eliminate humidity, then there is nothing to worry about. However, if you are just planning on buying a house, then noticing these things can be hard. For this reason, you may want to hire a professional staff specializing in mold inspection to eliminate any risks that you may want to avoid as listed above.
