Highly Recommend Dan for any building inspections, he was so quick to get back to us and book in the inspection, he was extremely thorough and gave us a range of options to choose from when undertaking an inspection for the home we wanted to purchase. We have even returned back to him for repairs that were identified and we saw necessary. He is easy to deal with and communication was great, he is extremely thorough and you can tell he genuinely cares about what he does.

Dan was recommended by my Real Estate Agent. Very prompt service, did the inspection 24 hours after I spoke to him. Dan was very professional and very generous with his time as I had a lot of questions. Cannot recommend Seabreeze Building Co highly enough. Would use them again in a heartbeat.

I was recommended Dan and Seabreeze Building Co by a mutual friend in the Perth building industry. I couldn't have been happier with the prompt service, reporting and follow up conversations that we shared. Dan took his time to explain many of the elements and findings he made during a very comprehensive check over of the property. His service gave us confidence heading into the next stage of the purchase process. Thanks Dan!

On a Sunday I woke to a leaking ceiling. Dan came immediately when no other trades would and controlled the area. Carried out a lengthy assessment and sent me a report and how to move forward. Dan and his plumber returned and fixed everything. Communication was excellent and quality job executed. Thanks guys!

We used Seabreeze building Co for a building and pest inspection on a house we were purchasing. Dan was very thorough and used his vast experience in the industry to provide a detailed report that covered all aspects of the building and surrounds. He then followed up with a call to go over any questions regarding the report and recommendation of areas that may require maintenance in the future.Would definitely use again
