JD was totally on top of my request for a 4-Point inspection & Mitigation Report at my Cape San Blas beach house. He was knowledgeable and responded to any of my questions immediately.
JD is pleasant and can be counted upon

JD (aka the Salty Inspector) is the guy you never knew you needed in your life! He does a thorough check of our house every month AND lets us know if he sees anything unusual (yard service in the drive in a different color truck, for example) if he sees it on his rounds in the area. His reports are detailed and easy to read. He checks up after storms… seriously, having JD check our house gives us peace of mind that could not be replaced. (Bonus, he is funny!)

We recently had the pleasure of hiring JD Johnson, “The Salty Inspector,” to perform our new‐build home inspection on Florida’s Forgotten Coast, and the experience could not have been better. From our first conversation, JD impressed us with his 20+ years of Gulf Coast expertise and the family‑owned, independent spirit of Kate & JD, LLC. He personally conducted a thorough five‑hour walkthrough—documenting over a dozen items that needed attention—and every concern was captured in clear, narrative descriptions accompanied by high‑resolution photos right alongside the text (no flipping back and forth between checkboxes and photo pages). His modern hybrid report came in two parts: a concise executive summary of “Needs Service” and “Health & Safety” items for our builder, and a full inspection report organized room‑by‑room—complete with overview photos and manufacturer labels for major appliances.

JD’s deep understanding of coastal construction revealed issues we never would have spotted ourselves—everything from missing attic flashing and grout voids to high water pressure, unprotected electrical outlets, and misaligned door frames—and our builder has already scheduled all the corrections JD recommended. Beyond standard home inspection, JD’s credentials as Florida’s second‑licensed home inspector (HI2), licensed mold assessor (MRSA1148), and Accredited Professional Home Inspector (APHI‑47) give unparalleled confidence; he even offers wind mitigation, four‑point evaluations, and mold testing if you need them.

What truly sets JD apart is his friendly, approachable demeanor—he patiently answered every question without jargon overload—and his lightning‑fast follow‑up. Within 24 hours we had both PDF reports and online access, and any additional questions were handled promptly by JD or Kate. If you’re buying or selling on Florida’s Gulf Coast, especially a new build, we can’t recommend The Salty Inspector highly enough. Five stars!

JD is by far one of the best for customer service! Even while he was sick, he answered the phone and addressed all our questions. He was very kind and compassionate after we had a horrible mold situation in a rental house! Highly, highly recommend!

JD came out the same day I called. For insurance purposes we needed proof of the roof age and JD communicated back and forth with me numerous times until I could track it down- which helped me save money. JD was so nice and helpful that I just can’t say enough about him…… Super friendly, hard working, eager to go the extra mile, his fees are very reasonable, and he’s been in business for 20 years!!! I will ALWAYS call The Salty Inspector and you should too!

My realtor recomended JD for an inspection on a condo that we were looking to buy I didn't know him from Adam and wasn't sure what to expect. The info provided was unbelievably thorough and valuable. We not only have piece of mind (along with a "to do" list), we were also able to use the info in our negotiation process. I was originally a little sceptical because the price was so low, but he clearly exceeded our expectations. He identified issues, explained the issues and provided pictures for a complete understanding. 5 Stars.
Thanks JD.

JD, The Salty Inspector, supported us with quick and easy inspection services. He maintained communication with us through the entire process, and made us feel truly involved in the whole experience. He provided clear and easy to understand findings and recommendations. We knew he was our guy from the first call, when he made us feel important and worthy of his time and expertise, answering any and all questions we had before we even got started! Would highly recommend his services to anyone!

JD was the best. Quick, attentive and a pleasure to work with. Received automated notifications for all aspects of the inspection (from ETA to completed documents). JD makes things easy and would recommend him to anyone.

Did you know your tankless water heater is supposed to be cleaned annually? Neither did I. I love my tankless water heater but I love it even more now that the Salty Inspector cleaned it.

After the Salty Inspector cleaned it the water is hotter and it gets hot quicker. During the cleaning he found an issue and helped with a temporary fix and even let me know that the part should be under warranty. Now getting it fixed should be even easier.

The cleaning solution started clear and turned greenish blue from all the gunk in my tankless water heater. (See pix) That is not surprising given the quality of our water. And that gunk was negatively impacting the effectiveness of the system.

The Salty Inspector did a great job and went above and beyond what I expected. I will now be having the Salty Inspector clean it every year and you should do the same.

We contacted JD, the Salty Inspector, when our new dryer wasn’t drying as it should. JD went above and beyond to figure out what the problem was. We were then able to fix it and now the dryer actually dries the clothes! Very knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend the Salty Inspector!

JD (The Salty Inspector) performed a wind mitigation on our home on St George Island. HE WAS OUTSTANDING! Not only did he perform the service for a reasonable price and timely but, he came back to the home more than once to get additional information for the insurance company. We highly recommend JD for wind mitigation inspections.

My husband and I have truly appreciated Salty Homewatch Services, especially this past December when a hard freeze hit Northern Florida. We live in Iowa and are "away owners" of a Florida beach home. Fortunately we found this service and were so very thankful for Salty Homewatch taking care of our home! When a house on 'stilts' and is exposed to a hard freeze then so is the plumbing! Luckily, JD and his staff were aware of the incoming weather system and contacted us with suggestions for preventive measures to safeguard our plumbing.
Knowledgable, professional, timely...we highly recommend this service for their home watch option.
