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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

How to Remove Hardwood Floor Stains

As time passes, more homeowners prefer hardwood floors, and they are right. Hardwood floors are simple to maintain and are durable so that they can last for many years. They add both class and coziness to your home. It’s easy to clean them, and their colors don’t fade. So, many people prefer hardwood floors over carpets. Even though their maintenance is quite easy, certain accidents can cause stains on hardwood floors and affect the aesthetic value of your flooring. In this article, we will go over some ways to remove certain stains from your hardwood floors.

Of course, the method of removing the stain will depend on the cause of the stain.

Water Stains

For water stains, you will need a clothing iron. First, find a cloth to cover the area of the stain. Later, pour any water inside the iron and plug it in, bring the temperature to the lowest and iron the cloth for a few seconds. Another great method is toothpaste. For this case, using non-whitening and non-gel toothpaste is a good idea. Get a towel or a cloth and put some toothpaste on it. Take that cloth and press it against the stain. Later, you can clean the area. Repeat this process until the stain is gone completely.

Oil Stains

This one is a case many of us face, especially when cooking. In this one, the key is mineral spirits. Apply it using a cloth but don’t rub it aggressively. The stain will disappear. After this step, you can use water and soap to clean the area. Don’t forget to dry it as well!

Pet Stains

Homeowners with pets are normally left with pet stains from time to time, and as one, you may be wondering how to get rid of the pet stains. Luckily, there are a few options. Most commonly, enzymatic cleaners, vinegar, and hydrogen peroxide can be used to clean these. Before starting anything, however, it’s critical to act fast and to get rid of extra substances on the floor. After this, you have a couple of options. First, add one cup of vinegar to the water and scrub the floor with the solution. However, if the stains are deeper, you may have to use hydrogen peroxide. Please focus on the spots with stains and scrub them with peroxide with the help of a cloth. Finally, when you are done, you can sprinkle some baking soda on the area for any left moisture and refreshen the area.

The First Address to Call

The most important point to remember is to act as fast as possible. Otherwise, you will double the amount of time you’ll spend cleaning. Of course, as homeowners, you may be confused about how to get rid of the stains or have a stain you can’t get rid of. If this is the case, call the professionals of Atlanta Property Inspection. Our team will guide you on what you need to do and, if necessary, refer you to professionals who can eliminate the stain. Additionally, if you have any questions or concerns regarding the condition of your home, our professional home inspectors will help you learn more about the issue with a home inspection.
