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 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.
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!
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.
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 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.
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!
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!
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!
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!

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
There is a long procedure to make sure everything works out when you are getting your commercial building permit. Because of this lengthy procedure, it is not easy to constantly change things in the building. That’s why an inspection is crucial to making sure that everything is changed and safely reported to you. But where can you find experienced home inspectors? At Atlanta Property Inspection, we have over 25 years of experience to help. We provide our customers with quality home inspection and satisfaction. Call us today to learn more about us and our services or get more information about commercial building permits.
