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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

Your Building Inspection Checklist

Inspections are required by law when a new building is built in the United States. Inspections ensure the safety and structural integrity of any structure, no matter whether it’s residential, commercial, or industrial. A building inspection is a review of construction by a professional inspector. The inspector will observe various parts of the building and will write a report about the work site to ensure that it meets safety laws and building requirements. In the end, it will give you detailed information about the safety, adherence to regulations, and detailed evaluation of each part of the building. These details are crucial whether you’re looking forward to buying a building, selling it, or signing a lease agreement.

Building Information

The building details come first on the checklist. Before anything, the person reading the inspection report should know which building is referred to. So, if there’s any building ID, it should be included. Additionally, building site location, inspector’s name, and date of inspection should be included.

Exterior of the building

The outside of a building includes everything from the landsaping to the roofing and even parking lots. The inspector will examine the building's structural soundness and will write if there’s any necessary repairs that need to be made. Sometimes, inspectors work with other specialists to create a more reliable report.

Safety Standarts

Building standards must be included in every building inspection checklist. Safety and following the local and federal laws when it comes to maintaining a building is one of the most important parts, especially in the report. There must be strict adherence to the building codes and restrictions imposed by authorities for the safety of everyone.

Plumbing and Drainage

The plumbing system of the property, as well as the external gutters and down pipes, will be inspected. Exterior drainage and plumbing inside will both be evaluated because it’s quite easy to come across unpleasent surprises after building a building.

Electrical System

Electric systems are by far one of the most crucial systems in a building, especially if it includes offices and other work spaces. During the inspection, a complete assessment of all cables, systems, and components should be done and should be ensured that they don’t pose any risks and comply with legal safety regulations. Remember that if an electrical system is not in good condition, a complete assessment of all cables, systems, and components should be done and should be ensured that they don’t pose any risks and comply with legal safety regulations. shape, it can pose serious risks to everyone’s health. 

Smoke Detectors And Fire Sprinkler Systems

One important point that no one should miss during the inspections are the smoke detectors and fire sprinkler systems. In case of a fire, these two will be the two lifesaving components. Not having functional sprinkler systems and fire alarms are major health hazards.

Temperatures and Insulation

The comfort of your building is largely dependent on the temperatures inside. If you want to keep the hot summer air outside while needing the cold air to be outside in the winter, insulation is the key. Therefore, it should be included on your building inspection checklist.
