We conduct regular visual inspections of your property while you’re away, diligently searching for any signs of damage, theft, vandalism, or other potential issues. We employ a state-of-the-art software system with GPS verification, generating electronic reports after each inspection. Our reports are detailed and include photos, as well as recommendations for repairs or improvements.

Why do I Need HomeWatch?
As a homeowner, you may have multiple homes that you stay at during different times of the year. If you are a seasonal resident, you may worry about your vacant home. By hiring a home watch company, you can have peace of mind knowing that your home is being looked after while you are away. A professional home watch company can provide you with valuable information about what’s going on inside your home, such as whether the air conditioner has stopped working, if your water heater is leaking, or if your refrigerator needs repair before you arrive back home for the season.
You may think that you have security cameras or a dependable neighbor who walks by your home periodically and therefore have no need for a professional home watch company. However, this doesn’t give you any information on what’s going on inside the house. A professional home watch company can help give you the answers to these questions and more.
When choosing a home watch company, it is important to ensure that they are trained, fully credentialed, insured, and background checked. You should also make sure that the company is a legitimate business with someone in charge if things go south.
As an example, you can check out the services offered by a home watch division of a company that provides home care services. They offer a range of services including home inspections, maintenance, and repair, as well as emergency response services.
Our home watch service is available on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, and we can customize the frequency and duration of our visits to suit your needs. Pricing is determined based on your property’s size, type, and the level of service you require. Contact us for a free consultation and quote at Island Home & Estate Management.
