Atlanta home inspector “It’s all in the tools”

As an Atlanta home inspector we have certain tools that we use on every job.  We use a pda which we store our computerized home inspection report in, a camera so that we have digital pictures, we use a moisture meter, a voltage tester and all kinds of other tools just to get an accurate picture of you perspective home. 

Every body has a different set of tools and must have common knowledge of how to use them.  I’m sure that each and everyone of you have tools for your trade also. If you’re about to start a framing project you wouldn’t use a trim hammer.  You want to use the right tools for the job. 

Did you know that as a home inspector we give each person that has gotten an Atlanta home inspection done by us a separate maintenance summary so they can use it as a tool to see what needs to be done and what has to be done.  This tool can ultimately save the new home owner a lot of money because they don’t overlook things such as caulking around the windows and door jams to keep water from penetrating the walls.

 As a new customer who signs up on line we also give the homeowner a small new tool kit to help with those jobs. 

Call us today at 404-788-2581 to schedule your home inspection and recieve $500.00 worth of  Gas certificates.

Arbor View subdivision 193 Highlands Dr. listed by Debra Waggoner

As the Atlanta home inspector we are all the time having the privilege of getting to know different agents.  They become more than just acquaintances, they become friends and Debra Waggoner is no exception.  Talk about on the ball, when she lists your home she does all she can to get the word out about it, so that it can be sold quickly.  In this market you have to be serious about getting the information out there so people can find it. 

Debra has an incredible listing right now in the Arbor View subdivision located at 193 Highlands Dr. that is a 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath with custom amenities through out.  You just have to stop by and see inside this home to appreciate this home and the Arbor View neighborhood.

I have several friends who either live in the subdivision or drive a bus for Johnston Elementary and I have to admit, I love to go over there and hang out.  My family has spent a great deal of time at the neighborhood pool with friends and it seems to me to be a very close nit community.  I remember when the storm hit, the neighbors were out checking on each other and helping each other out. 

If you’re looking for a home in Cherokee County that is in a great location, in a close nit community with a great atmosphere for children at a great price, I would definately check out 193 Highlands Dr. by my friend Debra,  give her a call today at 678-266-2460 and ask her to tell you all about it.  Right now is the best time to be buying a new home, so don’t wait call Debra today.  If you can’t reach Debra then Shawn Graves works with her (they’re on the same team) and you can always contact him also. 

Now on another note when you or anyone you know needs an Atlanta home inspection be sure and give me a call at 404-788-2581 or visit our Atlanta home inspections website. 

Also how much do you know about Radon gases?  If the answer is not much then check out our Radon Inspection page.  You might be glad you did as we have had several homes in the Cherokee County test high.

Atlanta home inspector wants to share “Stimulus Payment” E-mail scam

This valuable ispector shares stimulnformation was sent to me from my parents who received it from their Email service provider.  I know we are all the time getting all kinds of warnings and everything else.  But for a service provider to send this out, there is someone out there who has perhaps already fallen victim to this.  I don’t want it to be me or you.

Atlanta home inspector finds issues on roofs during almost every normal home inspection

This being a new roof,  and when they took the toeboards off the roof they did attempt to seal it.  The best thing for them to do would have been to replace that particular shingle tab.  With this being a new roof and the life expectancy being ten to fifteen years depending on the shingle you really don’t want to start off on day one with a defect like this, do you? 

If you’re buying a brand new home let me encourage you to get it inspected.  Most of the time, it will be minor issues that if left uncovered will cause larger issues not to far down the line.  These things are found during a routine home inspection.

Hard wired or an extention cord go ahead and take your pick.

As an Atlanta home inspector I find all kinds of interesting wiring situations.  And this one is not an acception to the rule. 

I found this extension cord ran all the way across the ceiling and down to the outlet.  Most of the time the garage door opener is hardwired in to a direct power box.  We not only have the garage door plugged in here but 2 other items as well.  Extension cords should not be used as permanent wiring.  This is just an example of someone trying to do a quick fix.

 

Now if you or anyone needs an Atlanta home inspection be sure and give me a call at 404-788-2581 or visit our Atlanta home inspections website.

Trained and Certified Atlanta home inspector

I don’t know how others do it, but when a dishwasher has personal items in it then I am unable to test the dishwasher properly.  Now this is just one of the many simple and different things that I learned when I went to school at Kaplan’s ITA home inspector school.  I didn’t just decide one day that I wanted to be a home inspector and go get a flashlight and a latter and start inspecting.  I studied at a physical school in a classroom setting and then I have since gone back to classes just to make sure that I am up to date on items.  So many times people don’t take home inspections or home inspectors seriously, but when I am dealing with your families safety, it’s a big deal to me.  When you hire me to do your home inspection you can rest assured that I am well trained and insured so that you can have “Peace of Mind!”

Atlanta home inspectors “Laughter is the best medicine”

This has been around a while and you may or may not have read it. But I thought it was funny then and I still think it’s funny now.

MISSING HUSBAND
Rick was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was really angry. She told him ‘ Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in less than 6 seconds, AND IT BETTER BE THERE!!’ The next morning Rick got up early and left for work. When his wife woke, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway. Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, and brought the box back in the house. She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.

 Rick has been missing since Friday. Please pray for him.
