A professional home inspection is a comprehensive visual inspection and assessment—inside and out, from foundation to rooftop. A typical home inspection lasts 2 to 3 hours and Breakwater Inspections can do them on any day of the week, including weekends. During the home inspection you will get a firsthand explanation of our findings and be encouraged to ask all the questions you may have. Within 24 to 48 hours of the inspection, you will receive a detailed inspection report explaining all the findings.

At Breakwater Inspections, your inspection will be done by a Certified Professional Property Inspector with the knowledge and experience to answer your questions, ensure that you know what you need to about the property, and put your mind at ease

Based in Rockland, we cover a large area of the State of Maine. Travel is no issue for us, and we are always happy to go the distance!

*Testimonies

“Had a great experience with John! He reached out to us prior to the inspection with thoughtful questions to make the process more smooth and efficient. He was courteous and prompt in communication and knowledgeable, thorough and personable throughout the inspection. We felt he really went above and beyond in explaining everything and overall exceeded our expectations (which were based on an experience with another local home inspector several years ago). Highly recommended!”

“I feel that your inspection reports are thorough and look professional as well as the manner you conduct the inspection. I would not hesitate to refer to any one.”

— J.M. (Realtor)

“It was nice to meet and spend some time with you during the inspection yesterday. We were impressed with the thoroughness with which you investigated and discussed the conditions of the property. Thank you for allowing us to tag along and hope we did not create a distraction or impede your work. It was a learning experience for us as well and we left the appointment grateful and confident in your efforts, skills, and expertise on our behalf. Thank you, as well, for the reports and prompt delivery. ”
