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!
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!
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!
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!
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 is VERY Detailed Oriented and found items and suggestions on the home that I would have never thought of, the report provided very good insight on how to move forward with the sale of the home! The staff at API was great to work with!
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.
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.

For those who are unacquainted, a final walkthrough and a professional inspection may seem like the same thing, but they serve very different purposes during the home buying or construction process. In this post, Atlanta Property Inspections sheds some light on the differences between a final walkthrough and a professional inspection.
A final walkthrough, as the name suggests, is an in-person visit to a home before closing. A homebuyer and their real estate agent carefully examine the property to ensure that agreed-upon repairs have been completed, no new damage has occurred since the home inspection, and the property is in the same condition as when the offer was made. In other words, it is the last chance for the buyer to look over the home before they sign closing documents. Typically, a final walkthrough happens 24 hours to 72 hours before the closing appointment and usually takes at least an hour to complete.
A professional home inspection is a detailed evaluation of the property performed by a licensed home inspector in Atlanta, GA. This inspection typically takes place shortly after the seller accepts the buyer’s offer and before the sale is finalized.
The purpose of the home inspection is to identify existing or potential issues with the home’s major systems and structural components. During the inspection, the inspector evaluates areas such as the roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical system, HVAC equipment, insulation, windows, and appliances.
Home inspectors look for defects, safety concerns, water damage, code violations, and signs of wear that may not be visible during a standard property showing. Once the inspection is complete, the buyer receives a detailed report outlining the findings.
This report helps buyers make informed decisions about the purchase. In some cases, buyers may negotiate repairs, request credits, or even withdraw from the transaction if major problems are discovered.
The biggest difference between a professional inspection and a final walkthrough is their purpose. A professional inspection is investigative and focuses on identifying issues within the property. A final walkthrough is more of a confirmation step before closing.
A home inspection company uses specialized training and tools to evaluate the condition of the home. Buyers performing a walkthrough are mainly checking for obvious problems, incomplete repairs, or unexpected changes to the property.
A walkthrough should never replace a professional home inspection because most buyers do not have the technical expertise needed to identify hidden structural, electrical, or plumbing issues.
Both the professional inspection and final walkthrough play important roles in protecting the buyer’s investment. The inspection helps uncover problems early enough to negotiate repairs or pricing adjustments, while the walkthrough helps ensure the seller fulfilled their obligations before closing.
For example, a home inspection may reveal a plumbing leak that the seller agrees to repair. During the final walkthrough, the buyer can verify that the repair was actually completed before signing the final paperwork. Without a walkthrough, buyers may discover problems only after moving into the property.
