We cannot recommend John Howard at Breakwater Inspections strongly enough! He is extremely thorough, professional, and pleasant to work with. His company offers a variety of services and provides substantive information about issues that can come up in home maintenance, tips for preventative care, and informational brochures to help educate his customers. He was very responsive to questions and provided clear explanations. We highly recommend him and his company.
Can't say enough good things about Jon! Stayed and talked with us about every issue on the house. When I found something that didn't look right he came over to look at it himself to verify if there was in fact an issue. Very professional, easy to talk with and gave some great advice. Definitely will be using again in the future, if and when I purchase another house. Thank you Jon.
