What sets Breakwater Property Inspections apart is a rare combination of real-world construction experience and a true ability to communicate clearly with clients. With over 30 years in the construction industry and 15 years teaching home building, I understand not just what I’m seeing, but why it matters. I take a highly detailed, organized approach to every inspection, ensuring nothing is overlooked while keeping the process smooth and professional. Just as important, I focus on making sure you fully understand your home — answering questions, explaining findings in plain language, and giving you the confidence to make informed decisions. You’re not just getting an inspection — you’re getting a trusted advisor who puts your best interests first.
Having a home inspection done by a professional before buying or selling a home is a necessary step to expose any unknown defects of the property.
Radon is an invisible gas that can pose serious health risks if levels are elevated. I provide accurate professional testing to determine whether your home is affected and if further action may be needed.
Mold growth can affect both your home and your health. I provide professional mold testing services to help identify potential issues so you can take action with confidence and peace of mind.
Pre-Drywall inspections help me identify framing, plumbing, electrical, and structural issues before drywall installation to support quality construction.
A commercial building inspection helps me identify potential problems before they become expensive repairs or, even worse, unsafe structural conditions.
I carefully inspect decks for structural stability, safety, connections, railings, and overall condition to help protect your outdoor living space.
I carefully inspect outbuildings for structural condition, safety, roofing, and visible defects in detached garages, sheds, barns, and accessory structures.

At Breakwater Property Inspections, you’re not just getting an inspection — you’re gaining clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. I’m Dan Bentley, Owner and sole inspector at Breakwater Property Inspections, and I bring over 30 years of hands-on construction experience along with 25 years in education, with the last 15 years teaching home building and woodworking classes. That combination means I don’t just look at a home — I understand how it’s built, how it performs, and where the problems can hide. Throughout my career, I’ve built homes, worked directly with materials, and taught students the fundamentals of construction from the ground up. Today, I apply that same level of precision, organization, and clear communication in all of my inspections.
