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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!

If you have an old house, then you may know that there are so many parts that are different from modern houses. Some of these can be better, while others can be harmful. Asbestos is one of these toxic substances that have to be removed. However, many homeowners don’t know this mineral. So, throughout this article, we will go through what asbestos is, how to identify it in your house, how this mineral can impact your health, ways to safely remove it, and how Atlanta Property Inspection can help. So, let’s see more about this interesting material in our house.
When houses were built around the 1980s, many construction companies used asbestos in floors, ceilings, and many other parts of the house. Asbestos is a natural mineral, but unfortunately, it is carcinogenic. It is an effective insulator, and back then, people didn’t know it was harmful, so they used it in so many different parts. If your house is old, chances are, you may also have asbestos-containing parts in your home, and they need to be removed immediately.
We recommend that you do not try to identify the asbestos-containing part of the house by yourself. If there are any parts of your house that contain this mineral, you may damage it, causing it to show its carcinogenic effect. To see if you have any, you can find a professional inspection service that checks the parts of the house that may have this. If there is, they will warn you about this, and then you can take further action.
As we said in the previous sections, asbestos is carcinogenic. This means that over a long period, they can lead to lung disease and cause cancer. Usually, unless a part of the house containing this mineral is not damaged, they do not cause significant damage. However, over the years, most of them become ruptured by themselves, causing these minerals to impact your health negatively.
Again, like the way a person shouldn’t try to remove asbestos by themselves, they shouldn’t try to remove it as well. Any wrong action can result in significantly more significant damage to both your health and your house. So, if you have contacted an inspection service near you and they identified this mineral in your house, then contact an asbestos removalist to make your home safer today.
In this article, we learned more about asbestos. A proper inspection service can help you avoid the health impacts that you may face. However, there wouldn’t be much to improve without the proper inspection service. That’s why at Atlanta Property Inspection, we do everything to make your house safe. Home inspection has never been easier with our experienced home inspectors, modern equipment, and affordable price plans. Call us today to learn more about us and our services. Don’t waste a second.
