HOMEWATCH SERVICES FOR YOUR SECOND HOME
During our initial assessment of your property, we will work with you to determine the specific functionality that is required relating to your property. We can visit your property as often or as little as you’d like, starting with a Service Plan based on usage of your property and desired frequency of visits.
Our easy-to-use inspection checklist allows you to understand our recommendations about what we feel needs to be inspected in our comprehensive scheduled one-hour inspection. These inspections provide you with peace of mind and an annual roadmap to completely cover your home, inside and out.
Our number one goal is to help you maintain the valuable asset that is your home so you have more time to enjoy it with family and friends. Our detailed season-ending inspection and annual report will also help you to determine and plan any capital improvement projects that are needed to maintain your second home.
