Same-Day Reports. 12,000+ Atlanta Homes Inspected.
A general home inspection in Atlanta is a non-invasive visual evaluation of a home’s structure, roof, and major systems, performed to the InterNACHI Standards of Practice and delivered as a written report the same day. Serenity Home Inspections has completed more than 12,000 inspections across metro Atlanta since 2012. Whether you are buying, selling, verifying repairs, or simply staying ahead of maintenance, the four inspections below cover it.
Every inspection is performed by an InterNACHI-certified inspector, backed by our 200% Honor Guarantee and a free 90-day warranty.
Every general home inspection covers the home’s structure, exterior, roof, attic, and all major systems. Our inspectors follow the InterNACHI Standards of Practice, so you get consistent coverage on every property. Here is what we evaluate:
Structure and exterior: foundation, grading, and drainage, including the clay-soil movement common across North Georgia; crawl spaces and basements checked for moisture and ventilation; siding, trim, and flashing; decks, porches, walkways, and driveways.
Roof, attic, and insulation: roof covering, flashing, and chimneys, inspected from the roof surface or by drone where access is unsafe; gutters and discharge points; attic framing and evidence of past or active leaks; insulation depth and ventilation.
Major systems: electrical service, panel, breakers, and a representative sample of outlets and fixtures; HVAC equipment, distribution, and condensate handling; water heater, supply and drain plumbing, and visible gas piping.
Interior: walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors; stairs and railings; garage door, opener, and safety reverse; built-in appliances; smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
Some conditions fall outside a standard inspection. Sewer lines, radon, mold, termites, septic systems, and pools each need a dedicated inspection — see Add-On Inspections and Testing.
Know what the buyer will see.
A pre-listing inspection tells you what the buyer’s inspector will find before your home ever hits the market. You then decide what to fix, what to disclose, and what to price in, on your schedule instead of under a repair-request deadline.
Sellers in metro Atlanta use this inspection for three reasons:
What you get: the full general inspection scope above, plus a same-day written report with photos. Many sellers pair it with our Repair Pricer add-on, which converts the report into itemized repair estimates you can act on immediately.
Best timing: two to four weeks before listing. That leaves room to complete repairs and get invoices together for the disclosure packet.
Get a full picture before you commit.
A pre-purchase inspection is the inspection buyers order during the due diligence period, and it is the most thorough look you will get at the home before you own it. Georgia contracts typically allow a short due diligence window, so scheduling matters quickly. Serenity offers same-day and next-day scheduling for exactly this reason.
What the inspection answers for you:
You are welcome to attend. We encourage it. Walking the home with your inspector is the single best way to understand the report, and it turns a list of findings into a practical maintenance plan. Our inspectors will show you the water shutoff, the panel, the HVAC filter locations, and anything you should keep an eye on.
Report timing: same day, usually within a few hours of the inspection. That matters because your due diligence clock does not pause while you wait for a PDF.
Common add-ons at this stage: sewer scope on any home built before 1990, radon testing (North Georgia has elevated radon zones), and WDO/termite. Bundling them into one visit is cheaper than booking separately; see Pricing.

Make sure it’s not just fixed, but fixed right.
A repair verification inspection confirms that the repairs you negotiated were actually completed and completed correctly. We return to the property, work through the agreed repair list item by item, and document the condition of each with photographs.
This inspection matters more than most buyers expect. Repairs get done quickly and cheaply at the end of a transaction, and “completed” on a seller’s response form does not always mean completed to standard. We regularly find work that was started and not finished, or corrected in a way that creates a new issue.
What you receive: a written verification report listing each negotiated item, its current condition, and a photo — a document you can take back to your agent or the closing attorney if something is unresolved.
Best timing: after the seller reports repairs are complete, and before your final walkthrough. Leave yourself a day or two of margin in case an item needs to be redone.
Our inspectors hold the InterNACHI Certified Repair Verification designation, so this is a defined process rather than a quick second look.
Stay ahead by catching existing and potential issues.
An annual maintenance inspection is a general home inspection performed on a home you already own, so small problems get caught while they are still small. No transaction, no deadline, just a clear picture of your home’s condition once a year.
Homeowners schedule it for practical reasons:
What you get: the full general inspection scope, a same-day report, and a prioritized list of what needs attention now versus what to watch. Clients also receive our Home Maintenance Book with seasonal task lists for the Atlanta climate.
Best timing: early spring or early fall, before the heaviest HVAC and storm seasons.
Georgia does not license home inspectors. There is no state exam and no minimum training requirement, so anyone in Georgia can call themselves a home inspector. That puts the burden on you to check credentials, and it is the single most important thing to verify before you hire.
Here is what to check, and what Serenity holds:

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:
Review sample reports before you book, and read more about same-day reporting.
You’ll receive a detailed electronic report filled with photos/videos and descriptions of your inspector’s findings in plain language.

Home inspection pricing in Atlanta depends on the home’s square footage, age, and foundation type, plus any add-on testing you include. Serenity quotes the full price upfront before you book, with no hidden charges. Bundled packages save between $30 and $170 compared with booking services separately.
Most general home inspections take two to four hours on site. Larger homes, older homes, and homes with crawl spaces or finished basements take longer. Add-on services such as sewer scope or radon testing extend the visit.
Yes, and we recommend it. Attending lets you ask questions in real time and see findings for yourself rather than reading about them later. Your inspector will also point out shutoffs, filters, and routine maintenance items specific to your home.
You receive your full written report the same day, typically within a few hours of the inspection. Every finding includes photographs and a plain-language recommendation, organized by priority.
No. Georgia does not license home inspectors, and there is no state exam or minimum training requirement. Because of that, you should verify certifications directly. Every Serenity inspector is InterNACHI-certified, and the firm carries $1 million in general liability and errors & omissions coverage.
Yes. New homes routinely have defects that builders miss, and builder warranties expire. Serenity offers pre-drywall inspections, final walkthrough inspections, and 11-month warranty inspections timed before your builder warranty runs out.
