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.
Thorough knowledge of items addressed in report. Home inspector was able to communicate any issues found with buyer and help explain the different items and their severity.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.

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.
