Our basic weekly Home Watch service always includes a visual inspection of your home or property, looking for obvious issues. Our staff use a digital checklist to ensure consistency. Our inspections can be customized to meet the needs of your specific home. We will immediately notify you if any damage is found, or if there are issues that need to be addressed. After each inspection you will be sent a digital version of your home watch report.
