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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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 to Become a Home Inspector

There are a lot of steps to becoming a home inspector, and some companies just make it more complicated to understand how to become one quickly. However, we are here for you. Throughout this article, we will go through all the steps required to become a professional home inspector, like knowing the state requirements, taking courses, entering the exam, choosing your path, and how Atlanta Property Inspection can help. So, let’s get started on your incredible journey.

Knowing the Requirements for Your State

Every state has different requirements to become a home inspector. Before going to a random website and purchasing a course, we recommend you look at the license requirements for that state and plan your next steps according to this information.

Learning the Job

After learning the state requirement, you have to buy a pre-licensing course if your state requires it. However, even if your state doesn’t need this course, taking a course like this will help you quickly pass the required licensing exam. There are many different types of inspections, so you must choose the right one that you want to master.

Entering the Licensing Exam Given by Your State

Again, most states require a test and usually use the National Home Inspection Exam. However, some states use their tests. So, you must look at what test your state gives you. The National Home Inspection Exam is usually a 4-hour, 200 multiple choice question test. There is an entry cost, and it differs in every state.

Know Which Path to Take

To come to this point, you must have passed the test and completed your state application if it is required. First of all, we want to congratulate you for coming this far. Now, you are officially a home inspector. You must now apply to work with firms, buy a home inspection franchise, or start your own company. It is up to you to decide what to do; however, we recommend that you work with an established firm first to get hands-on experience in this industry and then decide what to do after you know the work and how to interact with clients.

The Right Company for your Home Inspection, Atlanta Property Inspection

Many people want to get their house inspected but don’t know how much that will benefit them, what type of inspection they should get, and who to go to. Going through all this information will be hard and time-consuming for you, but you can get rid of all these procedures with a simple call. You heard that right! At Atlanta Property Inspection, we believe every minute of your life is valuable and make everything easier for you. With our efficient and valuable work, home inspection has never been easier.
