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!
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.
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 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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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!

Choosing a new home can be a very challenging and intimidating process. After all, a house is one of the most important purchases that someone can make. Those who make the wrong decision could struggle with many problems in the years that follow. In addition, it can cost property owners a lot of cash to fix the issues they didn’t spot before signing their contract. A professional home inspection is one of the best ways to ensure that the property you buy is in top condition. The specialists at Atlanta Property Inspections provide reliable services for local residential and commercial property owners in Atlanta, Georgia, and surrounding metro area communities. Are you wondering whether hiring home inspectors is worth the effort? Keep reading for some information that can help you make the right choice.
Be an Active Participant in the House Hunting Process
When real estate agents, mortgage loan officers, and investors are negotiating terms and discussing the details, it’s easy to feel left behind by the process. The best way to ensure that you are getting exactly what you want is to remain part of the conversation from the very beginning. Make sure that you are clear about your expectations, and try not to let all the industry jargon being tossed around intimidate you. If you have any questions, ask them. If you’re worried about something, speak up. They have an obligation to make sure that you are aware of the condition of the home and that you know what you are getting before you commit.
There are a lot of factors to consider when purchasing a property. First, consider the average home price in the area. This could affect the long-term value and saleability of the house in the future. If you have a family, then the quality of the local school district and the location of nearby parks may weigh heavily in your decision. But, of course, the most important component of selecting the perfect home is the condition of the property itself. A few gallons of paint and new fixtures from Home Depot can make a house appear shiny and new on the surface. But, lurking underneath the drywall and floorboards could be a variety of health hazards and signs of damage. You need to be sure that the plumbing system, electrical wiring, HVAC unit, water heater, and other essential components are up to date and ready for action. Likewise, the presence of asbestos, lead paint, mold, and other hazards is a red flag.
While some issues can be spotted by potential buyers, the majority of problems usually lie hidden beneath the pretty decorative features. A professional home inspector will have the training, education, and hands-on experience required to notice the details that others would skip over. They will also provide you with a detailed report about the condition of key systems and structural components of the property so you can assess how much effort will be required to maintain the home after the sale is completed. Knowledge is power, and a quality inspection can give you the guidance you need to make the best decision.
Have you decided that hiring home inspectors is the right way to move forward? Then there’s no need to hesitate.
