About Our Home Watch Services
Your second home deserves consistent, professional oversight when you’re away. My Second Home Services provides comprehensive Home Watch visits designed to identify issues early, document property conditions, and ensure your home remains secure and well-maintained between stays.
Each visit includes a detailed, systematic inspection of the home’s interior and exterior, with customized inspection items based on your property’s features and your preferences. We check for signs of damage, water intrusion, HVAC concerns, security issues, storm impact, and other conditions that could lead to costly repairs if left unnoticed.
After every visit, you receive a clear report, along with prompt notification if any concern requires attention. If service or repairs are needed, we coordinate with trusted vendors and oversee the work on your behalf.
Home Watch Services Offered
The larger your Florida vacation home, the more technology and cool features you have, the older the home, and the closer you are to lake or salt water… the more often things on your property decay and break.
As the homeowner of a fabulous second home, you aren’t local and therefore can’t personally stick to a regular maintenance schedule. Who’s looking out for your property while you’re away?
How do savvy homeowners keep their beach homes in tip-top shape? Here are some of the services offered.
Our Services Include:
- Weekly Home Maintenance & Inspections
Regular inspections keep your home in top shape. We check mail and packages, adjust thermostats, change A/C filters and smoke detector batteries, and ensure your home is ready to enjoy upon arrival. - Visual & Security Inspections
Comprehensive interior and exterior inspections to identify issues early, with a focus on detecting water intrusion, leaks, and moisture buildup — critical for coastal homes. We also secure doors, windows, garages, and alarm systems for peace of mind. - Vehicle & Major Appliance Checks
We maintain vehicles (cars, boats, golf carts, etc.) and essential appliances (HVAC, refrigerators, water heaters, etc.) while you’re away. Services include running engines, battery checks, fluid levels, and confirming appliances are fully operational. - Storm Prep & Post-Storm Reset
We prepare your home for severe weather and reset it afterward — installing shutters/screens, securing outdoor furniture, and inspecting for damage, protecting you from costly repairs. - Trash & Debris Removal
