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!
