What is home watch—and what isn’t it?
Home watch is a visual, non-invasive service that looks for obvious conditions and changes. It is not a licensed home inspection, security service, mold inspection, plumbing/electrical/HVAC inspection or guarantee against loss. It doesn’t replace insurance, security systems or licensed trades.
What happens if you notice a problem?
We document the concern and contact you. Repairs are coordinated, not automatically performed. Work requiring a licensed or specialized trade is referred to or coordinated with an owner-approved vendor.
Can you meet a contractor or prepare for my arrival?
Yes, within the agreed service scope. We can coordinate approved-vendor access, arrival preparation, departure checks, package handling and other local support. Concierge includes up to 60 minutes of labor per month; additional labor is $65/hour, with a one-hour minimum outside scheduled visits. Purchases, materials and vendor charges are separate.
How do post-storm checks work?
Storm checks are completed as soon as reasonably and safely possible. Severe weather, road closures, power outages or hazardous conditions may delay access. A priority storm check is $95. Steward and Concierge members receive priority scheduling; urgent same-day response is available only when practical, starting at $125. We are not an emergency service—call 911 for immediate danger.
What do you need from me before service begins?
Onboarding includes a baseline walkthrough, access and key setup, a property profile, emergency contacts and initial photos. Vendor access, vehicle starts, water shutoff actions, alarm interaction, purchases and special tasks are performed only under your agreed instructions. Please don’t send access codes through this website form.
How does billing work? Is a contract required?
Monthly plans are billed in advance. One-off work, purchases, materials and outside vendors are billed separately. The pricing guide proposes no long-term contract for the launch structure; we’ll confirm current agreement and billing terms with you during your consultation.
