Home Watch

While you’re away, we’re here.

Humidity, a dripping faucet, an AC unit that stops running: in Florida’s climate, small issues in an empty home can quickly grow. With regular visits, I can identify visible concerns early and let you know promptly so you can decide how you would like to proceed.

Every scheduled Home Watch visit follows your personal Home Watch checklist and ends with a digital report and photo documentation.

From $129per month · 2 or 4 visits
