Frank Cooper and his team from Atlanta Property Inspections, Inc were excellent! They arrived on time and thoroughly inspected all areas of the property I was considering renting. They found things that needed to be repaired by the landlord before we signed the lease. Frank reviewed his findings with us. He explained all of his concerns, and he patiently answered all of our questions. Then the next day I received a very detailed report that included several pictures and detailed explanations. If you want a kind, knowledgeable, and thorough inspector, don’t hesitate to call Frank Cooper with Atlanta Property. I would highly recommend him! Truly a 5 star company!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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
I called several companies for quotes, and I felt that Atlanta Property Inspections was the most welcoming! Thereafter, I had a wonderful experience at the inspection. My inspector was thorough, kind, and willing to explain things and answer my questions on site. He was very knowledgeable and very friendly. I am glad I did not skip the inspection for this 950 square foot condo, and the review has been very helpful, during my due diligence period in evaluating this potential home.

Mold is a fungus that grows mainly indoors in a house when it gets the necessary conditions to grow. Molds can depreciate the value of your house and cause future health problems for the residents. So, learning more about molds and where you can find them is important. Throughout this article, we will go through the conditions that promote mold growth, whether they can grow in new buildings, where you can find it in your home, the problems it can cause, and how Atlanta Property Inspections can help.
Four common conditions significantly increase mold growth. In this section, we will review them.
Homeowners tend to think that since they have a new building, it is impossible to see mold growth in their homes. This is a very common misconception. If the conditions that promote mold growth, as listed, are met in a part of any house, whether new or old, it is possible to have them. Since new homes are often built using concrete slabs, water doesn’t get absorbed easily and builds up in the soil below. So, this increases the chances of mold building up under in newer homes.
As we mentioned previously, as long as the conditions that promote mold growth are met, they can be found anywhere. However, some of the most common places in a house you can expect to find mold include but are not limited to bathrooms, corners of walls, the kitchen, the basement, and the garage. You can also check rooms where water may leak. Are you looking for molds in your home? Leave it to the certified and experienced home inspectors with Atlanta Property Inspections.
It is known that mold can cause damage to a house. It destroys anything that can feed them, such as wood and other organic materials. However, the damage it can do to the house's residents isn't commonly known. It will reduce the air quality and cause the fungi to be released into the house. Short-term symptoms can be itching, runny nose, watery eyes, and difficulty breathing. Unfortunately, long-term mold exposure can result in severe allergic reactions.
At Atlanta Property Inspections, we have been in this industry for over twenty-five years. Our staff are armed with knowledge and ready to give you peace of mind. Call us today to learn more about us and our services, or get estimates for your next home inspection service.
