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.
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.
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 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, 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.
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!
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!
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 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!

If you are looking to buy a house, one thing you should never avoid is getting a home inspection. You have probably heard this phrase so many times. However, do we actually know the risks of not getting a home inspection? Well, many of us don’t. That’s why we are here to prevent it. Throughout this article, we will go through the safety risks of skipping home inspection, adding future repair costs, preventing negotiating points, and how Atlanta Property Inspection can help.

However, we are not only limited to safety reasons. There are many more. Let’s learn about them in the next section.
The purpose of the inspection is to identify which parts of the house are damaged or need to be replaced. In a house, if a part is damaged and no action is taken toward it, it can cause significant damage. By identifying the parts of the house which need action to be immediately taken, you can save yourself more headaches than you can ever imagine. If you get a home inspection before buying a house, you can use the report from home inspectors to have the homeowner replace those parts. Let’s learn more about ways we can use the report for negotiation.
Using the report given by a home inspection service, you can do a lot of things. One of the most important things as a buyer is to use it as a way to negotiate. Seeing the things that need to be repaired or replaced and asking the homeowner to decrease the price according to the things listed in the report. This will help you to pay less and prevent overpaying. In addition, you will have a house that is better-taken care of and presented. However, to get all the benefits listed above, you need a trustworthy inspection service. But where can you find one?
This article went over some risks of skipping home inspection as a buyer.
