Great job. Very thorough!! I felt no one could have done a better job.

Ricky did a GREAT job. He is very thorough and detail oriented, exactly the type of person and type of service you're looking for in a home inspection. He is very personable and provides a great report and debrief at the end. I would Highly recommend Ricky and Appalachian Inspections.

Very impressed and grateful for the work done by Ricky with Appalachian Inspections. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking an honest, timely, and affordable house inspection!

Prompt and responsive. Very thorough report.

Very professional. Ricky explained the categories of inspection snd was extremely detailed, including pictures of problem areas. Thank you so much for your expertise.

The inspection report was so organized and easy to read, including clear pictures and thorough explanations. We really appreciated the extra touch of including pictures of our utility shutoffs as well. Highly recommend!

This inspector was very patient, answered our questions professionally, and provided quite a bit of helpful information about our home. We appreciated how kind and how thorough he was throughout the process. This was our second time to need a professional inspection, and we requested him specifically. We highly recommend him.

Thank you for an excellent and thorough report and also for taking the time to discuss the report and provide me with additional answers about some of the items on the report. I have bought a number of homes and this is the absolute best experience I have had with a home and pest inspection. You are a first class operation!!

Very fast and complete. Thanks

Ricky showed up on time, spent about four hours crawling through the house, crawl space, attic and garage. After completing he spent about 20 min reviewing results and highlighting the more concerning items he found. I received a written report the end of the next day. Efficient and knowledgable, just what I needed !

Quick response. Prompt scheduling. . Very good price. And an extremely thorough inspection with detailed report. Thank you.

We're so incredibly grateful to have found such an amazing home inspector. Chris's thoroughness and expertise truly impressed us. He went over every inch of the house, looking not just at surface-level symptoms, but also deeper into root causes and potentially related things. It felt like watching a detective at some points. For example, he was able to read the subtle issues all over the house and trace the root cause to an incredibly subtle culprit: the deck, which was supposedly supporting the roof, was actually mostly floating disconnected from the ground, and therefore pulling the house apart. Seriously impressive sleuthing. He was like this with every angle and every aspect of the house, and he gave us an incredibly thorough report. He was also super friendly, and we enjoyed every time we got to talk to him. Thank you Chris!

Ricky is very knowledgeable. Did a very good job in inspecting the home. This helped us in moving forward with the purchase.

Chris was excellent. His home inspection was thorough and he took a lot of time walking us through our home and showing us the issues that exist. So I highly reccomend him and his company if you need a home inspection before a home purchase in the Blowing Rock/Boone area and surrounding area.

Always grateful for Chris' expedience, knowledge, and attention to detail.

Richard was amazing! Very Knowledgeable. I highly recommend him.

Ricky provided excellent service. Thorough and informative. Appreciative of the attention to details throughout the property.

Excellent work and a well organized report!

Ricky did an excellent job on the inspection, and we appreciated all of his feedback.

Ricky did a FANTASTIC job inspecting a house we were considering purchasing. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and impressively thorough. I arrived about halfway through the inspection, and he immediately paused to walk me through the issues he had already uncovered—including a major red flag involving electrical safety. He patiently answered all of my questions and gave me a much greater sense of confidence about our potential purchase. What really stood out was his dedication. Because the crawlspace was too tight to access fully during the first visit, Ricky actually returned the next day with a rolling creeper to reach those hard-to-see areas. He updated our inspection report with even more detailed photos and notes. Thanks to his thorough report, we were able to negotiate with the sellers to have important electrical work completed before closing. That wouldn’t have happened without him. Thank you so much, Ricky. When it’s time to buy another home, you’ll be the first call we make!
