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.
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!
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 my first experience with Atlanta Property Inspections. Alex Sozonov was my inspector. Very oriented details and willing to explained all questions with professional knowledge. Report came into my email box late night. Clearly, it has been covered all details. Plus, show up on time.
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!
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.
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!
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!

In today's society, creating an inclusive environment for everyone, especially for people with disabilities, is more critical than ever. This goes for every aspect of our daily lives, and the Americans with Disabilities Act ensures that public places as well as buildings conform to the ADA to create a better environment for people with disabilities. Failure to comply with ADA accessibility rules can result in costly lawsuits for property owners, particularly those in commercial or residential multi-family units. Unfortunately, there are certain accessibility issues that are frequently overlooked in buildings by owners and during inspections. Understanding ADA regulations and implementing essential improvements early on will help protect your investment and assure compliance with federal law, whether you're renovating an existing property or building a new one.
It is important to incorporate accessible features into your home, especially if you’re making a renovation.
Staircase and stairs accidents are one of the most common reasons behind injury. If you have a two-story home, you might wish to consider installing an elevator. Planning for a future home elevator does not have to be expensive; simply create a place for it and frame it out, then keep it empty until you need it. Even this can be a great way to incorporate accessibility to your house. Even if there’s no second story, there are usually at least a few steps that lead from garage slab level to the first floor. When this is the case, you should think about how you could replace these stairs with ramps.
This is a relatively easy step. Making your entrance more accessible is one of the most basic but important steps you can take. There are a variety of portable ramps on the market, and you can easily find a wheelchair-accessible ramp suitable for your home. If you want something more permanent, you may consider building a ramp. For ramps, there are certain dimensions that are strongly recommended.
Open space is critical for persons who use mobility aids like wheelchairs and walkers. In most cases, turning around is a big issue for people who use a wheelchair, so inside your home, a minimum of a 5-foot turn radius should be present so a full turn can be made by the person without colliding with objects such as walls and doorways.
In addition to steps, using the restroom can be dangerous and uncomfortable for those with disabilities. Installing step-in bathtubs is one of the finest ways to accomplish this. Without the need to step, you eliminate the chance of slipping and falling, making your experience safer and more enjoyable. Also, you can make the bathroom flooring slip-resistant to avoid falls.
Unfortunately, most of the time, property owners don’t even know what they’re violating when it comes to ADA. The only safe and sure way to know is to work with professionals home inspectors who are knowlegable in the area. That’s why professionals at Atlanta Property Inspection are here to help. During our home inspections, we can observe the specifics of what the law requires and tell you about the changes that need to be done. This way, you can avoid future potential ADA lawsuits. If you think your property might not be compliant with the ADA, call us today and learn more.
