About PIHWS

John J. McGough, Owner

​I first came to Pleasure Island in 2022 for an Army Veterans reunion on my Harley Davidson and realized what a special place it is. Since that week, I have visited numerous times and have gotten the true feel for this special little island.


​In 2024, I left the Philadelphia area and became a resident of Kure Beach. We created Pleasure Island Home Watch Services as a comprehensive resource for property owners who are remote or here full time and need some help.


I have over thirty years of experience in the energy industry where I have commissioned, operated and managed the maintenance of various power plants throughout my career. Additionally, I have worked as an OSHA auditor, construction consultant, insurance adjuster, and have had my own handyman business. Through my extensive experience, I can spot a small problem before it becomes a catastrophic failure. We are a bonded and insured company and take measures to ensure that your property is protected to the highest standards.
