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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.

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.
