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
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!
Dustin was absolutely amazing. He did such a thorough job and was super friendly and helpful in explaining everything to me as a first-time homeowner. Highly recommend this company! Very timely and professional throughout the entire process as well!
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 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.
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.
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!
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!

Many people get their homes ready for fall with their inside decorations. Of course, that’s an amazing way to welcome a new season; however, it is not enough. You must ensure that the exteriors of your home are in good shape as the interiors to go through the upcoming chilly days in a prepared way. This article will cover some of the things you should get done before leaves start to fall.
Let’s be realistic. How many of us think about the gutters and their functioning regularly? Most of us don’t. However, they are responsible for draining thousands of gallons of water and naturally undergo deformation. If your gutters are clogged, the exterior surfaces of your home might be damaged, and the clog will eventually lead to corrosion and create even bigger problems. So, before fall, it’s a great idea to clean the gutters; if necessary, you can even replace them.
The next tip is to protect your faucets. If you are in an area with freezing weather around fall and winter, you should turn off every outdoor faucet before the cold weather strikes. If you don’t do this, they may freeze and even explode. Additionally, you should remove all the garden hoses attached to your faucets. If you leave them attached, the water can back into your plumbing system and damage your pipes greatly.
Your roof is one of the first defense systems of your house that protects you from harsh weather. If your roof is damaged, you will be prone to electrical faults, water damage, fire hazard, mold and mildew, and many other problems. Fixing a damaged roof during fall and winter is very painful and time-consuming. Therefore, make sure to inspect your roof for any damage to tiles. If you see any broken, cracked, missing, or rusty tiles, replace them before they fall immediately.
If you have trees and other plants on your property, hiring a professional arborist is a good idea since they can spot diseases and trim them accordingly so you won’t have to deal with broken limbs in bad weather.
In addition to your roof, perform an overall inspection of the exteriors of your house and see if there’s any peeling paint and check the foundation for any cracks. Additionally, take care of the possible cracks in your driveway and, most importantly, seal any air leaks you may find. A lot of windows and doors in our houses are prone to air leaks, and if they aren’t sealed before fall, you will make you lose a great deal on the heating bills. Sealing is a very inexpensive procedure, so don’t skip it.
As a homeowner, if you don’t want to inspect your house, that’s alright too. The home inspector team of Atlanta Property Inspection will be more than happy to inspect and tell you about the parts of your house that need to be fixed before the fall. Our professionals will ensure you have everything you need with a thorough home inspection. Call us today to schedule your appointment.
