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!
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.
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.
Dustin was very knowledgeable and friendly and made my client feel confident in his explanations. He was quick to point out the positives of the home he was inspecting. His report was delivered within 18 hours of the inspection and had plenty of photos and very easy explanations in laymen's terms. I highly recommend Atlanta Property Inspections.
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!
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!
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!

Water damage is one of the catastrophic events that happen to a house. Therefore, keeping a house dry is one of the most important precautions a homeowner can take. There are many different ways homeowners can prevent excess water near their homes. We develop systems like grading and using roofs, gutters, and downspouts to achieve this goal. In this article, we will go over the systems being used and how Atlanta Property Inspections can help.
Grading means the slope of the land around your house. In normal conditions, water should directly flow away from your house and prevent it from pooling it near. The main reason for this is simple. As we mentioned above, a dry house is a good house. If there is excess water near the foundation of the house, it will start to damage it. You might first see these problems as an increase in moisture, mold growth, flooding of the basement, or even some structural problems. The slope is usually six inches down and ten feet away in a landscape grading. Grading isn’t something you can’t control. However, when you buy your house, you should know more about the grading conditions.
Grading is mainly used to prevent the water in the land from being removed from the house. However, water can also pool on top of the house. So, over time, a great system of roofs, gutters, and downspouts has been developed to ensure no water pooling around. With the roofs pushing the water away from the center to peripheral points, the gutters take action. They collect rainwater from the roof and collect it at one point. At this point, the water flows from the gutters to the downspouts. Once the water is on land, the grading system again plays a crucial role in keeping it away from the house's structure. Roofs, gutters, and downspouts are things that every homeowner should inspect. This will allow you to prevent structural damage to your house. If you don’t know how to inspect these parts of the house or are having trouble, call a professional home inspection service today to learn more.
Although sump pumps are not common in many houses, they are crucial systems in basements that every home should have. The sump pump collects water in the basin and dries the basement. The water is discharged regularly and helps prevent the water from flowing back into the house.
Whether you are buying or selling your house, it is important to get an inspection service to learn more about the condition of your house. Thankfully, with the right services, this is no longer a problem. At Atlanta Property Inspection, we have been in this industry for over twenty-five years. With our experienced home inspectors, modern equipment, superior client care, buyer protection plans, and affordable price plans, home inspection services have never been easier. Call us today to learn more about us and our services, or get estimates for your next one right away.
