atlanta home inspectors: Forget About the Pricetag! - 02/01/12 10:16 AM
Atlanta Home Inspections
"Forget about the pricetag," Jesse J. proclaims in her pop tune. Do you or your clients sing that song? It would seem that in today's market, price is a deciding factor for several aspects of our everyday living. What is a pricetag anyway? Does the cost of something tell us the benefit attached to an item?
When you go to a restaurant, do you choose menu items completely by their dollar amount? If I were to guess, I would say, probably not. Choosing a menu item is based on the benefit of the meal. You order … (3 comments)

Picture it - Douglasville, Georgia, December 2011 - The inspectors are providing there usual detailed and friendly service to a wonderful couple and their well established agent. For the most part, this inspection has been busines as usual. The appliances have all been noted, models and serials recorded for RecallChek, the roof has been walked, the outlets tested... the list here can go on and on. For the stories sake and the sake of losing an audience, we will now descend the well crafted steps into the lower regions of the home to examine the underbelly, because this is where the … (4 comments)

atlanta home inspectors: Mortgage Underwriters are bad guys~ right? - 11/11/11 12:19 PM
In the high noon showdown of mortgage lending, the last draw is reserved for the Underwriter. He/She stands at the ready, rules and regulations holstered, but under thumb. They get the last shot, the fatal denial or honorable acceptance. Villains, they may seem , to agents and consumers, but if you ever meet one face to face, they don't seem so bad.
I got the chance to listen to a panel of Mortgage experts, a few of which, were Mortgage Underwriters. Their job is a dastardly one, after all. They have to determine if you are worthy or not, and that … (3 comments)

atlanta home inspectors: Unruly Shrubbery Woes Unearthed by The Atlanta Home Inspector - 09/20/11 12:17 PM
During Atlanta Home Inspections a common find for us, is overgrown or untended shrubbery. In these instances, the unruliness of the shrub can cause a host of issues.
When shrubbery grows too close to your home's siding, moisture collects and can cause deterioration. Algae, mildew and mold growth can also occur. Of course, there is also the possibility that you are providing a smorgasboard for wood destroying organisms, such as termites.
It is also a good idea, to keep shrubbery from growing into your gutters or downspout systems. The overgrown limbs can impede the process of proper drainage.
It is true … (3 comments)

atlanta home inspectors: Storytime with The Atlanta Home Inspector - 08/18/11 12:11 PM
Atlanta home inspector . Every Attic tells a story. What story will your attic tell? Will it be a drama full of supporting characters that fail, like broken trusses or rafters, with the general theme relying on a special code?
Maybe it will be action packed with a burning past,complete with smoke, soot, and mismatched rafter color. That would be firey , indeed. Perhaps it is a horrific tale, with lurking monsters, who gnash their teeth, whip their tales, or hiss as you advance in their direction.
An ensemble cast is always a good adventure, the water works ensue, especially when one character leaks … (4 comments)

atlanta home inspectors: A/C Units walking off in the middle of the night? Not at this Atlanta Home Inspection. - 05/23/11 02:33 PM
http://www.ihihomeinspections.com Not sure if this is a precaution to keep them from "walking off at night" or a mistake! However, it is apparent that the only way to remove these particular A/C units is to bust them out with a sledgehammer. Even if you are in an area that is known for various items walking off this probably was not the best solution. If there is any problem with the units, they cannot be removed or easily fixed.

atlanta home inspectors: One thing to remember when purchasing a home with a crawlspace - 02/12/11 09:28 AM
As a home inspector in Atlanta we go in some of the smallest and nastiest places, especially when it comes to older homes that have a crawl space. One thing that I want to remind home owners to think about when they're looking to purchase this older home is the fact that most of the time the furnace is located in the crawl space. Most people will ask me right away what the big deals is... it really isn't a big deal if you like crawling under there once a month if you use the cheap furnace filters or once every … (0 comments)

atlanta home inspectors: Atlanta home inspector reveals unexpected roof issues - 01/24/11 10:31 AM
As a home inspector in Atlanta we pride ourselves on the fact that we walk the roof on 99% of the home inspections in Atlanta that we do. To often we find instances where items that could be an issue would be missed if we only inspected the roof from the ground. There are also instances where we have heard that other inspectors only inspect the attic from the scuttle hole. We have found several items in the attics that would have been missed if we didn’t go all the way in the attic.

atlanta home inspectors: Atlanta home inspector wonders about this choice for a home - 01/15/11 09:44 AM
http://www.ihihomeinspections.com As a home inspector in Atlanta I discovered birds that are making a bird nest in the dryer vent on the outside of the home. I decided to share this to give everyone a quick reminder about dryer vent safety. First I thought it was kind of neat to be able to catch these birds in the act of building their new home and it wouldn't have been a problem except for location! Even the birds know that finding the perfect home is all about location, location, location. This location is going to get a little hot.
Now enough with joking … (2 comments)

atlanta home inspectors: Wow had a hard time getting the youngest one in bed... - 12/12/10 10:29 PM
And it was a chore in itself...she was simply to excited about the possibility of there being no school tomorrow. I myself am excited to, I have to admit I could sure use a little extra sleep in the morning. Who would have thought we would be seeing snow this early in the year. I can't remember if I have ever seen a white Christmas.

atlanta home inspectors: Choosing Cheap Charlie for your Atlanta home inspection can cost you more than you think - 10/23/10 12:56 PM
As a home inspector in Atlanta we often find one of the main questions that we get asked all the time is how much does a home inspection cost? So we wrote an article, titled “How Much Does An Atlanta Home Inspection Cost” and gave home buyers the different information about it. Now one of the main things that we touched on back then was “Cheap Charlie” and why you didn’t want him to be the one that inspected your Atlanta home. Well folks, that information hasn’t changed, as a matter of fact, Cheap Charlie’s are getting worse and worse. Why? … (2 comments)
