Professional, pleasant mannered & very informative, Mr. Howard spent over 2 hours doing a top to bottom & all around inspection.

Buying a home is a very stressful process and there are many home inspectors and services available to the public. I checked out a few that were recommended to us but no one came close to John Howard of Breakwater Inspections. John was amazing and extremely helpful and responded to emails promptly. He was very thorough and knowledgeable and made a lot of recommendations throughout the whole process. He did the inspection without any delays and produced a very balanced and informative report with photographs immediately. John is welcome to feel free to use our family as a reference anytime. Thank you John !
Description of Work: He did an initial basic inspection walkthrough on a home we are looking at buying.

John Howard, the proprietor of Breakwater, was quick to respond to our requests and questions and was a pleasure to work with. He did interior air radon tests in 7 of our rental units (as required by Maine law) and was punctual, professional and thorough with all interactions with us and our tenants. I would highly recommend him as a service provider.
