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 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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

Downsizing Tips For Seniors

One of the best things for seniors to do after retirement is downsizing. A smaller living space means fewer items to use, lower bills, and a safe space. Throughout this article, we will go through when it is the right time to downsize homes for seniors, tips to make downsizing easier, and how Atlanta Property Inspection can help.

When Is The Right Time to Downsize Homes for Seniors?

Most seniors want to live the rest of their lives in their current home. However, sometimes, your loved ones should downsize their homes. Here is a list that shows the right time to downsize:

  • If the monthly housing expenses are not affordable
  • The yard and house maintenance becomes hard
  • Not much money is left after paying the expenses
  • The environment isn’t good for aging, like too many stairs.

Tips to Make Downsizing Easier

If you have trouble downsizing, here are some tips that will make the process easier for you:

  1. Organize Items In Categories: When you downsize, you must start organizing items into different categories. Organizing your items will allow you to easily keep up with what you want to keep, get rid of, donate, or sell.
  2. Get Rid of Trash: One common problem we see in people who want to downsize is they don’t want to get rid of anything. However, the point of downsizing is to minimize the items count to only the essential ones. So, do not hold yourself back from throwing anything away. However, sometimes, you shouldn’t throw away everything. Who knows, maybe you can sell them?
  3. Sell Unnecessary Items: Some houses are just filled with valuable items that not even homeowners remember having. We have talked about the importance of getting rid of items when it comes to downsizing for homes. One good way of doing so is to start selling your items. Host a yard sale. Repurpose the items you no longer want to keep in your house and sell them. You will be able to make a big profit and have to give it to someone else who will value your items. With the profits made, you can even fund your lifestyle changes.
  4. Prepare Essential Bags: It is crucial to prepare essential bags like sleepwear, medication, bedding, toiletries, cleaning supplies, and kitchen and meal supplies. Having bags for these will give the person constant access to such important items.
  5. Buy a Storage Unit: Sometimes, we don’t have enough space to organize the items we want. Buying a storage unit will allow you to organize many items into a single unit.
