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!
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
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.

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.
