About Our Home Watch Services
Second Home Services can work with you to design a plan that fits your needs. Pricing for this service will be standard for each visit and is based primarily on the square footage of the home. Each home will be reviewed and the scope of service discussed prior to establishing a price.
Some Home Watch Services in addition to those included in the basic weekly inspection may be arranged and charged at an hourly rate or a flat fee depending on the job.
Owning a second home near the beach doesn’t HAVE to be a big headache or a chore. Granted, keeping a second home in “tiptop” shape is work.The question is “who’s in the best position to do the work, week in and week out” and if you need home watch services…which ones do you actually need?
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
