Home Care Subscription Services

Home watch is a visual inspection of a home or property, looking for obvious issues. Our Home Care Subscription Services are designed to give you reliable oversight, routine check-ins, and clear communication so small issues do not turn into big problems. Available for full time vacation home owners, second home owners, residential homes, and commercial properties.

Starting at $48 per visit.


How it Works

Our subscription plans provide scheduled visits to your property based on your needs. During each visit, we preform visual inspections, document conditions, and report anything that needs attention with photo documentation. No work is performed without your approval and written consent.

Our company uses business management software provided by Home Watch IT.  The reports we send you are all professionally produced by us, using software that captures the location and the time and date that corresponds to the report’s creation.  You have infallible evidence that your home was visited should you ever have an insurance claim or other need.

Visit frequency and pricing are agreed upon during onboarding and applies across all plans.
