HOME WATCH - Regular Check with a Professional Report.
We provide a weekly home watch service which is a visual inspection of your home looking for obvious issues. This is a service to owners of vacation properties on Whidbey as well as properties occupied on a part time basis.
Home Watch Whidbey provides a walkthrough of unoccupied properties on Whidbey Island specifically related to security and a list of items that have the potential of causing unnecessary expenses or significant damages. A detailed .pdf report is provided via email and stored securely on our client portal after each home watch visit.
The home watch visit is focused on security, functionality, energy reduction, and risk mitigation. This service is a strategy or tool to reduce the risks of crime, maintenance issues, and disasters. Our home watch service is often a requirement of an insurance carrier to maintain disaster coverage if the property is vacant.
HOME MAINTENANCE - Turn-key Home Management
Home Watch Whidbey also offers a customizable preventative maintenance service program to our growing client list. We offer an initial consultation and then customize a preventative maintenance program for your specific home.
