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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

Atlanta Property Inspections, Inc. was referred to us by our realtor for our home inspection. Our inspector was Cary Cooper. He really took the time to answer all of our questions about his findings. We didn't feel rushed or that any question was too silly. He gave us peace of mind with a few of our concerns and was honest, even if we weren't to thrilled with the news. Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely use (and refer)  Atlanta Property Inspections, Inc. in the future for any inspection needs.

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.

How Long Does A Composite Deck Last?

When it comes to outdoor life, we want the best investments for ourselves- an investment that allows for little maintenance and best looks. Well, this is where composite decks come in place. With its unique materials, the advantages it provides are a lifesaver. Throughout this article, we will learn more about composite decks.

Material of Composite Decks

A normal wood deck can last for around 10 years whereas a composite deck can go for at least 25 years with proper installation. You might be wondering why its lifespan is so long compared to its other competitors. Well, unlike others, the pieces of these decks are made from both wood and plastic films, making the material stronger and offering many other advantages.

Some Advantages of Composite Decks

  • Unlike other wooden decks, a composite deck will not start to break into smaller parts that lead to splinters. These can be annoying especially if you will regularly use them because they can easily get on your skin or clothes.
  • Mold can easily grow on wood surfaces. This growth of mold may lead to it breaking down. However, with composite decks, the unique material will allow you to easily wash it off. This is the main factor in its great lifespan compared to others.
  • Woods age. When a material ages, its color and durability start to fade. That’s why many people constantly color their wood decks because their color can easily fade over a few years. However, composite decks are a combination of wood and plastic, allowing the colors to look live even after 25 years.

Less Care, More Comfort

Woods are a problematic material when it comes to outdoor life. They require deep cleaning and when we clean them, they start absorbing moisture which leads to mold growth and its death over time. Composite decks, however, don’t require deep cleaning and they prevent easy mold growth. So, if you don’t want costly maintenance, then composite decks are the perfect option for you.

Importance of a Reliable and Experienced Service

However, without the right service, all the listed advantages of composite decks will be disadvantages. A reliable and experienced home inspection service will allow you to locate the best place to install your deck. Their planned location will allow the composite deck to have even a greater lifespan and get even more advantages than those listed above.
