What’s a Watch?

Home Watch is a visual inspection of a home or property looking for obvious issues. Local, insured, and vetted home watchers can stop by during your time away. On your schedule. Tailored to your needs.

Hands and eyes for when you’re away.

Scheduled Home Watches are visits by skilled, vetted Watchers, from simple check-ins or beyond to meeting contractors, adjusting systems, or even prepping for your return.

It’s peace of mind, in every visit we make.

Proactive problem solvers.

We’re here to spot the unexpected, inside or out. Before or after Texas storms. Retrieving packages or letting repairpeople in. Spotting obvious issues so you know what to do.

We’ll connect to know your home and schedule, then visit while you’re away. Get updates with photos or videos from every visit. Contact us anytime for anything.

We work with as much or as little personal contact as you’d like, with online tools, packages, and communication that makes everything reassuringly easy.

What’s included in a watch visit?

Inside. Outside. The stuff in between. We check everything on every visit.

Lights and locks. Systems and smells. Heat and even humidity. We check your house’s vital systems for out of the ordinary stuff, and report back to you with photos as necessary.
