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!
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
I would like to recommend Brandon for his excellent job during the inspection. He is very professional, thorough and is an expert in his field. I enjoyed his partnership during inspection, the knowledge he shared of the risks of certain issues was incredible. I am very glad that he inspected the house for us and wishing him more success in future.

The longevity and functionality of your windows depend on proper maintenance. Furthermore, well-maintained windows contribute to the preservation of your home's worth because they are a significant investment. So, in this article, we will try to cover the fundamentals of window maintainance.
Regular cleaning is the easiest way to prevent damage to windows. Dust and filth can be easily and quickly removed from wooden windows by using a moist cloth. Make sure the fabric isn't very damp. If not, you run the risk of the timber frames decaying. To clean metal or vinyl frames, use warm water and a small amount of soap or mild detergent. Use only non-abrasive cleaning agents that won't scuff your window frames. It is recommended that you clean the tracks on the frame in addition to the window panes. Irrespective of the material composition of the frame, this step is critical. Debris, spider webs, and moisture accumulation are common in the track area. To maintain the window tracks in good condition, use clean water or a suitable cleaning to remove any muck.
Your windows should be inspected once every three months. You'll be able to identify any possible problems in this way before they worsen. First, look for any evidence of deterioration on the window sash and frame. In order to identify any possible problems, open and close the window. Checking the panes for indications of moisture is also necessary if your windows have two panes. The weather stripping needs to be changed if any are visible.
Because the strength of the windowpane is no longer operating at its peak, cracked glass is a possible accident waiting to happen. Furthermore, air can flow into and out of your property through even tiny cracks, and you will see the result of this via your monthly heating or cooling bills also when there's a broken window, especially if they're double or triple pane windows, the argon gas which between each pane is also going to get out and will cause the panes to not to work correctly.
Avoid using abrasive products on glass because abrasive cleaning solutions can leave tiny scratches on glass surfaces. In the long term, this could result in cracks or other major damage; in the near term, it will significantly affect a window's looks, making it appear deteriorated. Instead, if you want to clean your windows, use a clean microfiber cloth and a mild cleanser, like soap and water. This goes for all types of windows and frames.
Before moving into a new home, inspecting all parts of your home, including the windows, is also crucial. Windows are barriers that protect your home and impact your daily lives a great deal. As a future homebuyer, in the midst of all the chaos around you, you might not inspect the house as detailed as it needs to be. So, home inspections are crucial in order to prevent skipping through any step. Luckily, professionals at Atlanta Property Inspection are ready to help you on this journey. Our professional home inspectors are all ASHI-certified and have a great deal of experience in the area. Call us today to schedule your appointment.
