I have hired this company doing inspection on the property that I was planning to purchase in Georgia. I’ve live in California when this was done. Frank Cooper and his team did a great job of inspection and giving me with every details. I really appreciate the advice and the report. Thank you
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!
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 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!
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.
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.
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!
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!

Let's start with what mold is. It's a type of fungus that produces through particles called spores. These spores tend to float in the air. They stick and spread when they find the right surface that provides the essential environment. That's when they become more dangerous. People who live in humid environments probably have a lot of experience with mold because it loves damp and humid conditions. Unfortunately, mold is associated with various health disorders, especially in the upper respiratory tract. The worst part is mold is good at hiding itself. That's mainly because it likes dark spaces. So, most of the time, it will go unnoticed by the homeowners until there's visible structural damage or constant allergies. A good way to avoid these property damages and health problems are by hiring professional home inspectors for a mold inspection.
Following is a common mistake many homeowners fall for: you see mold on a certain surface and try to clean it with agents like chemicals or detergents, and when the surface seems clean, you assume the mold is gone. Unfortunately, that's not true. That's why the diagnosis of mold should be left to professionals. During the examination, the inspector looks for common places suitable for mold growth. Additionally, they will ask you questions like if your house experienced any water damage previously that might've caused moisture in various parts of your home. So, they will try to get to the source of the moisture and eliminate that. Moreover, they will perform certain tests to ensure your home is safe in terms of air quality. If you don't see any visible mold but experience constant irritation with your eyes, nose, or other upper respiratory tract parts, or have yearlong allergies, calling a professional is a good idea.
The best way to prevent mold is by keeping the air dry. If the air inside your house is dry, mold will not find the conditions to survive and reproduce. To keep the air dry, you can use a dehumidifier and a hygrometer to monitor the humidity levels in your home accordingly. Only partially depend on A/C and fans in your house for air circulation. Regularly open your windows and let proper air circulation take place. With the help of the experts in home inspections, try to find the source of moisture and, with the help of plumbing professionals, fix any leaks. Finally, when buying cleaning products for kitchen and bathroom services, choose ones that also have mold-killing qualities.
Checking for mold is also one of the most important things before buying a house. Sometimes, during the step of home inspections in Suwanee, GA, mold can be overlooked, but buying a house with unresolved mold issues will create long-term problems in the long term. However, this will not be the case if you hire a professional inspector of Atlanta Property Inspection. Our team will provide you with the necessary tests and samples and advise you on the mold removal. Call us today to learn more about us!
