I have seen home inspectors and their write-ups before. I have to say I was blown away by how good these people performed! Right down to a hinge on a back door was missing a screw. This company is the real deal. I will use them every time.

The price was about $350 for the preliminary service. It was $50 for the re-inspect. I thought it was very reasonable as well. It was very good service. They were prompt, professional and did excellent work. I would recommend their promptness, professionalism and thoroughness. They did everything the second time around that they did the first time around and did it equally well. It wasn't as detailed. All they were looking at is the items they found the first time to see if they were repaired. They did a very good job of that. My overall experience was excellent.
Description of Work: We were buying a house, so it was a complete inspection of the house we were buying and the property. They had to go back and re-inspect. After the owner said that the work that they found was done, I hired them to come back and re-inspect to make sure it was done.

The inspector answered the first time I called and scheduled my appointment for the same week. He showed up and hour early and inspected the roof. (he spent an entire hour on the roof). He was extremely thorough. It was a very long inspection. He did a great job. He did find things wrong with the house (as always) and he explained everything he had found. He also recommended the way they should be fixed and how serious every issue was. I have had many inspections in the past on different homes and none compared to this one. The check list he goes over is very detailed. Overall: Great Customer service, Great Price, Great Home inspection. I would definitely use them again for our next home and recommend them to my friends.

Description of Work: Home inspection for a house we were purchasing. The inspector showed up early so he could inspect the roof before the rain started which we greatly appreciated. He then spent 3 hrs thoroughly inspecting the home. His report was very detailed and included pictures of everything he found.

Each inspection has been performed on time, accurately and reasonably priced. He has taken the time to go thru each report, explaining exactly what each item is, severity and code requirements. Thankfully none of the issues found have been and quot;deal breakersand quot; and the two larger deals/buys have gone thru, the third is and quot;in workand quot; (05/08/2014) to be completed within a week. Rickey is a very personable and professional home inspector, Extremely happy with the results to date.
Description of Work: Rickey Authement has now inspected 3 properties for me, all within the past year, these included 3 houses and a large garage/workshop. Location simply listed as "Other" as there have been multiple properties/locations in Ocean Springs and Gautier, MS.
