What a Serenity Home Inspection Covers

A standard Serenity home inspection is a visual evaluation of the home’s major systems and structure, performed to the InterNACHI Standards of Practice.

Here is what your inspector examines:

The Standard Inspection

  • Roof and attic: covering condition, flashing, penetrations, ventilation, and visible insulation
  • Structure and foundation: footings, framing, crawl space, and signs of settlement or moisture intrusion
  • Exterior: siding, trim, grading, drainage, walkways, decks, and porches
  • Electrical: service panel, breakers, wiring, GFCI and AFCI protection, and visible fixtures
  • Plumbing:  supply lines, drains, water heater, fixtures, and visible leaks
  • HVAC: heating and cooling equipment, ductwork, and thermostat operation
  • Interior: walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, and stairs
  • Appliances: built-in kitchen and laundry appliances
  • Garage: door operation, safety reversal, and firewall separation

Every inspection includes thermal imaging at no extra charge. Our inspectors carry infrared cameras on every job and use them at their discretion (the same way they’d use a moisture meter) to evaluate large repairs, suspected water intrusion, and water staining. If you want the full room-by-room version, we offer an optional Advanced Thermal Imaging Scan that covers every floor, wall, and ceiling whether or not there’s visible evidence of a problem.

We also fly FAA-compliant drones on steep or unsafe roofs rather than skipping them, and every inspection can now include a more in-depth roof evaluation by a roofing specialist, complete with cost estimates for repair or replacement. It’s free; clients and agents just need to request it with their full home inspection.

Property Types We Inspect

We inspect single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, duplexes, and multi-family properties, and new construction.

We also handle investor property reviews for buyers evaluating rental or portfolio purchases across metro Atlanta.

For homes still being built, our new construction inspection program covers the pre-drywall phase, the final walkthrough, and the 11-month warranty inspection before your builder warranty expires.

What We Commonly Find in Atlanta Homes

Atlanta’s housing stock and climate produce a recognizable set of issues. After 12,000 inspections here, these are the ones we look for first.

Moisture in crawl spaces. Georgia red clay drains poorly and holds water against foundations. Combined with high summer humidity, that makes crawl spaces the single most common source of findings in in-town and older-suburb homes. We check vapor barriers, grading, and downspout discharge on every inspection.

Polybutylene supply lines. Homes built roughly between 1978 and 1995 across Georgia often used gray polybutylene piping, which becomes brittle and fails without warning. Insurers frequently refuse coverage on it. It is a material finding, and we flag it explicitly.

Aging electrical panels. In-town neighborhoods like Decatur, East Atlanta, and parts of Brookhaven carry a lot of 1950s–1970s housing with panels that are undersized, obsolete, or missing modern GFCI and AFCI protection.

Roof wear from heat and storms. Atlanta summers and spring hail cycles shorten asphalt shingle life. Where a roof is too steep or too fragile to walk, we fly a drone rather than calling it “not inspected.”

Radon. Much of North Metro Atlanta sits on granite and gneiss bedrock associated with elevated indoor radon. Testing is inexpensive, and we recommend it on nearly every North Metro purchase.

Standards, Certifications, and What Georgia Law Requires

Georgia does not license home inspectors. There is no state exam, no state license number, and no minimum training requirement to call yourself a home inspector in Georgia. That puts the burden on you to check credentials.

Here is what to check, and what Serenity holds:

  • InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector: every inspector on our team. Certification requires passing the InterNACHI exam and completing continuing education annually.
  • CCPIA membership: the Certified Commercial Property Inspection Association. We follow ComSOP on commercial work.
  • $1 million in coverage: general liability, errors and omissions, and workers’ compensation. Ask any inspector for their E&O certificate. Many working in Georgia do not carry one.
  • Four certified inspectors on staff: Jeremy Scoggins, Todd Walker, Andre Carr, and Junior Alejandro-Ramirez, who inspects in English and Spanish.

Your Report: Delivered the Same Day

You get your full inspection report the same day, in almost every case within a few hours of the inspection ending. That matters in Georgia, where the standard purchase and sale agreement runs on a Due Diligence Period that is often only seven to fourteen days. A report that arrives three days later burns half your negotiating window.

Every report includes:

  • Photos and video of every deficiency found
  • Plain-language summaries, not code citations
  • A severity-ranked summary section your agent can work from directly
  • A repair estimate addendum, so you know what the findings actually cost to fix

Home Inspection Atlanta FAQs

How much does a home inspection cost in Atlanta?

Home inspection cost in metro Atlanta depends primarily on the square footage and age of the property. Serenity quotes every inspection up front; you see a firm price before you book, and nothing is added to the invoice afterward. Bundling add-on services into one of our inspection packages saves between $30 and $170 compared to booking each service individually. Get a price in under a minute through our online scheduler, or call us and we will quote it over the phone.

Most home inspections take two to three hours. However, larger homes, older homes, and properties with crawl spaces or finished basements take longer. In every case, though, you receive your report the same day.

Yes. In fact, new construction inspections routinely find missed items, such as unsealed penetrations, incomplete flashing, and HVAC installed out of spec. Therefore, we inspect at three stages: the pre-drywall phase, the final walkthrough, and again before your 11-month builder warranty expires.

No. Georgia does not license or regulate home inspectors, so there is no state license number to check. Instead, look for InterNACHI or ASHI certification, current errors and omissions insurance, and a written Standards of Practice. For example, Serenity’s inspectors are all InterNACHI-certified, and we carry $1 million in liability and E&O coverage.

Book before noon, and we can usually inspect the same or next business day. That speed matters, because Georgia’s standard purchase and sale agreement runs on a Due Diligence Period. In most cases, that window gives buyers only seven to fourteen days to complete inspections and negotiate repairs.

You are welcome to attend. However, we recommend arriving for the last 30 to 45 minutes, when your inspector can walk you through the findings in person. That way, you hear the important items explained directly and can ask questions on the spot. Of course, you do not need to be present for the whole inspection.

No. Those are separate services under the InterNACHI Standards of Practice. However, we offer all three as add-ons, and we complete them during the same visit. As a result, you are not scheduling three separate appointments

My husband and I went under contract very quickly with only a few days to get inspections done. Serenity was out there the next day to do the home inspection. Todd Walker was our inspector and he was extremely detailed. Once he was done he walked us around and pointed out anything he noted or to keep in mind. This is our first house together so I had a ton of questions and he answered every single one. He was ver professional and polite and we received the report by the end of the day. Definitely recommend paying for the infrared inspection to check for moisture intrusion and the like. The report is incredibly detailed and easy to read/understand. If I ever need another service like this I would 100% go with Serenity again. Thank you for making this process just a little bit easier.

Brian was great during the inspection. He narrated what he was looking for/measuring/inspecting. He went above and beyond on the HVAC. So thorough.
Jordan, the owner, responded to my request at 8:30 pm! He set up an inspection for the next day, a Saturday. Got the full inspection report the next day, Sunday. Totally recommend Serenity!
