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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Problems That Home Inspectors Find in Newly Constructed Homes

There is a common misconception among new homeowners that by getting a newly constructed home, they won’t need a home inspection as each system works very efficiently. Despite being right about installing new and better systems that won’t have as frequent problems as older homes, newly constructed homes aren’t immune to major problems. To help you understand the problems that home inspectors find in newly constructed homes, we have prepared this guide for you. If you want to learn more about home inspection services, call Atlanta Property Inspection today.

Common Problems Seen In Newly Constructed Homes

There can be many problems in newly constructed homes. Let’s go over the five common problems that most inspection services look at in this section:

  • Structural Problems: You may think that a new home will not have any structural problems. In most cases, this is true. However, some newly constructed homes have foundation cracks and improper framing, which can cause structural problems in the future.
  • Roofing Issues: Roofing is one of the most important parts of a house. In newly built homes, roofing has to be inspected regularly to ensure there are no problems with it. Sometimes, problems with roofing can appear after weeks due to water accumulation, which can result in structural damage. To ensure no roofing issues, inspectors look to see if the roofing shingles have been properly installed.
  • Electrical Problems: Electrical problems should never be avoided. In fact, the electrical system should be regularly inspected to ensure that problems do not occur in the future. Inspectors look for electrical problems, whether they are small problems with the outlet or major problems with wiring.
  • Drainage Issues: Water damage is one of the most common and worst damage a new homeowner can face. Drainage plays a very important role in preventing our homes from facing water damage. Inspections of the drainage system can show whether the grading around the property will be sufficient to prevent water damage.
  • Mechanical System Malfunctions: Lastly, after major structural problems, mechanical systems have to be observed. A common one is the HVAC system, which is inspected to see whether it is installed correctly or if it will lead to failure.

Why Should New Homes Get A Home Inspection?

An inspection can save you time, energy, and trouble in the future. An inspection service aims to notice any minor problems before they turn into major ones. A new home is very important in this aspect, as little problems with the system can easily be noticed before they accumulate and face the homeowner as major structural problems. If you are looking to get a home inspection, call Atlanta Property Inspection today.
