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.

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!

Jeremy was the best to work with! He was on time,  very thorough in his explanations of his findings, and took time with my clients to make sure he answered all of their questions. He was detailed, and provided follow up when we needed additional questions answered. He went above and beyond! Best, quality, customer service I’ve seen in a long time! I’ll recommend him and Atlanta Property Inspections every time!

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.

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!

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.

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.

The Ultimate Home Warranty Checklist

Have you ever seen ads or emails online discussing the extent of a home warranty coverage and wanted to know more about this service? Well, we are here to explain it. Throughout this article, we will explain what a home warranty is and what it covers, three reasons why you might want one, and how Atlanta Property Inspections can help.

What is a Home Warranty & What Does it Cover?

A lot of times, homeowners need clarification on insurance and home warranty. Insurance covers any damage your home may face from some problem. The insurance company usually pays for a lot of the damage. A home warranty is like a service that covers the wear and tear of the appliances and systems in your house. These include but are not limited to the electricity system, plumbing system, HVAC system, major home appliances, etc. The average home warranty can cost around six hundred dollars annually, but this number can change depending on the individual.

Three Reasons Why You Might Want a Home Warranty

If you don’t already have a home warranty and are interested in knowing why you might require one, here are three reasons for you:

  • If you constantly have problems with major devices and systems like air conditioning and refrigerators, you can reduce the cost and time required for repair or replacement.
  • Knowing that home warranties cover certain repairs and replacements, homeowners can comfortably sell or buy houses. For example, if you sell a house, you can repair some parts and increase the value of your property. If you are buying the house, whether you see problems before or after you buy the house, the cost of fixing the problem is no longer a problem.
  • With a home warranty, you can personalize it to provide comprehensive protection for your house. If you believe that the essential systems are covered but things like the pool equipment are not being protected, you can also add them to the warranty and choose them depending on your needs.

Important Points To Consider

As you can see, the benefits of a home warranty are great. However, there are also disadvantages to having a home warranty. In the insurance, there might be a restriction on the amount of systems or items being covered. So, you have to get through the whole terms and read whether the system you want to be covered is being done so. If not, you can speak with the company about including it there. Research and make sure your home warranty does its job well. Lastly, although the warranty covers most of the reconstruction or replacement costs, most of these companies require the homeowner to pay certified home inspectors to ensure that the problem needs repair or replacement. Choosing the right inspection service is important to give the right and necessary information about the warranty.
