What Your Home Inspector Looks For in Alpharetta Homes
Alpharetta's housing stock is a story of one long building boom. The city's population grew from about 3,100 in 1980 to nearly 66,000 by 2020, according to the New Georgia Encyclopedia, and roughly three in four homes here, about 76 percent, were built between 1980 and 2009, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey. For buyers, that means most Alpharetta homes are subdivision houses now old enough that original roofs, water heaters and HVAC systems are due or overdue for replacement, and we check those first.
Radon is the other local question, and it isn't something you can see on a walkthrough. The UGA Extension office for Fulton County reports that approximately one in five homes tested in the county since 1990 have had radon levels above the EPA's 4.0 pCi/L action level. We recommend adding a radon test to any Alpharetta purchase, whether the home is a 1990s subdivision house or one finished last year. It runs during the same visit as the inspection.
New construction hasn't stopped in Alpharetta: about 16 percent of the city's homes were built in 2010 or later, per the same Census data, and subdivisions are still finishing out. For these homes we look at grading and drainage, attic insulation and ventilation, and roof and flashing details, and we document everything before the builder's one-year warranty runs out. We also do construction draw inspections for owners and lenders financing a build in progress.
| Type of home | What we pay attention to |
|---|---|
| 1980s and 1990s subdivision homes | Roof age, HVAC and water heater age, deck attachment, and the condition of the original electrical panel. |
| 2000s subdivision homes | Grading and drainage, attic insulation and ventilation, and roof flashing, since many of these are now approaching 20 years old. |
| New construction and homes under builder warranty | A written list of items to give the builder before the 12-month warranty ends, plus construction draw inspections. |
| Any home without a radon test | We recommend adding radon testing to the same visit, given how common elevated readings are in Fulton County. |

FAQ
Home Inspection FAQs: Alpharetta, GA
Do you inspect new construction homes in Alpharetta?
Yes. Alpharetta is still building: about 16 percent of the city's homes were built in 2010 or later, according to Census data. We inspect new homes at completion, before you close, and again before the builder's warranty runs out, and we also do construction draw inspections for owners and lenders financing a build in progress.
Should I test for radon when buying a home in Alpharetta?
We recommend it. The UGA Extension office for Fulton County reports that approximately one in five homes tested in the county since 1990 have had radon levels above the EPA's action level. The test is an add-on to the same visit, and a high result can be brought down with mitigation.
How much does a home inspection cost in Alpharetta, GA?
Home inspection pricing depends on the size, age, and location of the property, plus any add-on services like radon or mold testing. Contact us for a free, personalized quote.
How long does a home inspection take?
A standard home inspection usually takes 2 to 4 hours for an average-sized home. Larger, older, or commercial properties can take longer.
What's included in a home inspection?
A home inspection covers the roof, foundation, structure, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, interior, and safety systems, plus infrared thermal scanning and drone-assisted roof imaging when applicable.
Should I attend my home inspection?
Yes. Attending lets you walk the property with your inspector, ask questions in real time, and see any issues firsthand instead of only reading about them in the report.
Do you offer same-day or next-day scheduling?
In most cases, yes. With a full team of certified inspectors, we can often schedule your home inspection within 24 to 48 hours of your call.
What happens after the inspection?
You'll receive a detailed, photo-documented digital report within 24 hours. Our team is available afterward to answer any questions about findings or next steps.
