Licensed Insured Home Inspections Atlanta Georgia 

Home Inspector Atlanta Sharpsburg Riverdale Senoia Ellenwood Union City Hampton Griffin Fayetteville Palmetto Lithonia Georgia

The process for a certified home inspection in Atlanta and Metro Atlanta begins with a call or Email for a Home Inspection from you. At that time I will ask you a few questions about the property size and the type of inspection you would like to have done. Knowing the square footage of the home is an important factor in calculating the cost of the inspection. I'd like for the utilities to be on so that any or all operating systems can be checked. If it is a structural, building or before-drywall inspection there is no need for all utilities to be on. I can make an appointment with you or your agent to meet at the home or property site. I can inspect within 2 hrs. notice if urgent. Our inspection process at the site will take an average of 2 hours or less for average homes from agreement signing to finish, depending on the type of inspection. I may also have one or two inspection assistants depending on the property  size and conditions.

My staff and I will be over, under, in and all around the property to discover it's condition. In most cases I have to get on roofs, go into crawlspaces, open or remove the cover on electrical panels, operate appliances and enter attics. My assistant may set up ladders, open or establish access or prepare equipment. I will be thorough but careful while inspecting the home. After the home inspection and data is collected, we will re-tour the property with all parties to answer any questions. We will include all defects and deficiencies found during the property or home inspection. Nothing will be left out of the Home inspection report, no matter how small or insignificant it is. If we discover any condition or have a concern about any item inspected during the home inspection we will let you decide what's important and what is not.

Whether the home being inspected is an older home, recently built or brand new home we will provide a good quality ASHI certified home inspection.

All inspections are done by Paris Pressley. Paris and his inspection assistants are very thorough. In many cases a trained assistant accompanies the inspector. The assistant generally examines specific areas of the house before being inspected by Pressley. It doubles the thoroughness and comfirms some noted conditions. Once the information is collected, it will be used to create the inspection report and returned to you. Depending on the inspection, some reports can be made at the site, others at the office and returned the same day or within 8-24 hours. Once you receive your inspection report I will be glad to answer any questions or review it with you.
