When it comes to looking for a home inspector in Atlanta, rely on Brian with Colby Home Services. Having helped homeowners and buyers for years in Atlanta, we have the reputation for making our clients "informed" on their purchase. In the grand scheme of things the cost of an inspection is considerably less than the possible repairs that might creep up after you move into your "dream home", or what you thought was your dream home. Many of the homes on the market are foreclosures and have simply been neglected.
When a home sits empty/idle for many months at a time, so many unexpected problems can arise...
Is the plumbing intact?
How about the roof, what damage has occured during the months it sat unoccupied and not maintained?
What rodents have set up camp in the attic or crawlspace, and what damage have they caused during their stay?
Is there mold or mildew present? If so, what caused it?
Is there termite damage, termites love humid and moist environments.
Besides, what's the worst thing that can happen if you don't get an inspection?
Possibly thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs.

The Nitty, Gritty of an inspection
It's often asked, why bother getting an inspection? I encourage my clients to use my report as a learning tool. A tool that will educate them on whats been happening to their home for the last several years. A report will also explain what systems or defects will need immediate repairs or just typical maintenance repairs.
Reports are available within 24 hours of the inspection - Time may vary depending on inspection type.
"Thank you so much for your service. Your service was professional, courteous and cost effective. The items you identified significantly improved the quality of service provided by the builder.
Thank You. We plan to request your expertise again in the future."
Thanks, Tony & Rebecca
