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!

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.

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.

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 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!

What You Should Know About Commercial Building Permits

A commercial building permit is crucial if you want to renovate or build an additional building to the current one. If you don’t know much about this permit and its importance for your property, then you are at the right place. We have decided to inform everyone in detail about this permit. That’s why throughout this article, we will go over what a commercial building permit is, when it is required, how they are useful, what to do if there is a code violation, and how Atlanta Property Inspection can help. So, let’s start learning.

What is a Commercial Building Permit?

Your local government usually issues a commercial building permit to ensure everyone's safety. They are obtained when there is work regarding renovating the existing property, constructing a new property in addition to the existing property, or constructing a new property entirely. This permit is essential for public safety and the health of the building. Let’s look at more details on the occasions this permit is required.

When Is This Permit Required?

As we said above, you need this permit if you renovate an existing property. Some examples of renovation can include coloring the exterior wall entirely if they are different from the current program, combining spaces by demolishing a wall, moving locations of entrances, or changing the space of offices. Although they may seem like minor things that aren’t required to get a permit, it will be better for you to report this to your local building department and notify them of this change.

How Are These Permits Useful?

Going back to what is a commercial building permit section, we said that the local government does it to ensure safety. If we were to look at it in more detail, this safety can be defined as protecting the building occupants, life safety, serving as a record for future reference in the case of an unusual event, stormwater and fire management systems to prevent any potential damage to the property, and insulation requirements. These all serve to provide a better and safer space for everyone.

What To Do If There Is A Code Violation?

Sometimes, property owners don’t realize they are involved in a code violation until warned. If you get a code violation, do not try to make a real estate deal. This will result in the issue growing and your property losing credibility. Instead, try to quickly solve the problem, call the local government to learn more about the problem, and then continue with your normal deals.
