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 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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!
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!
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!

If you are in the process of deciding on getting a new AC unit and are wondering if you're going to need to buy a dehumidifier even after you get an AC unit, you're in the right place because today, we're going to discuss the dehumidifying abilities of the AC units and whether they are sufficient.
To start with answering the question, it's true that air conditioners do have some level of dehumidifying capabilities. While a central air conditioning system is intended to eliminate humidity, its capabilities are limited. Installing a dehumidifier could be a good idea if your living area has high humidity levels. On the other hand, if you are already living in an area with a dry and hot environment, then you may only need AC units to do the job for you; while it will be sufficient to dehumidify the environment of dry areas, it will also provide coolness. On the other hand, if you are in a seaside city, getting a dehumidifier is an option to consider.
However, there may be instances where you require the cooperation of both of these units. You may be wondering but why? An air conditioner's primary purpose is not to dehumidify the air, and it will definitely be insufficient in extremely humid places. And dehumidifiers don't create the coolness you desperately seek out, especially in the summer months. Don't think of both of these units as additional costs; know that a dehumidifier also helps save energy costs and improve the efficiency of your air conditioner.
Benefits of an air conditioner include:
The speed and efficiency with which your air conditioner can lower a room's temperature is impressive. This is its most known feature and is a true blessing for people who live in areas with hot environments, especially during the summer.
As was already mentioned, one of the things an air conditioner does is help your home's air become less humid. In addition to helping people whose upper respiratory issues are aggravated by the humidity, this can lower the room's humidity levels as well as prevent the growth of mold and mildew.
Most of the air conditioners have a fan setting if you want to circulate cool air in your room without having to buy an additional fan.
It might be difficult to decide which appliance to choose when faced with an option between the two. A dehumidifier alongside an AC unit might be the best for you, depending on your specific needs. Your budget, location of residence, style of home, and personal tastes all play a major role in the appliance you choose. If you want the professional opinion of a home inspector in this matter, know that the professionals of Atlanta Property Inspection are ready to help you with any issue related to your home.
