🛡️ TRUST & SERVICE

Home watch is a professional service that provides routine inspections of unoccupied or seasonal homes. Each visit checks for water leaks, pest activity, storm damage, or signs of forced entry. These scheduled check-ins help prevent small concerns from becoming expensive problems and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

Neighbors often mean well, but they may overlook early warning signs. As a trained home watch provider, I know what to look for and I document each visit with photos. That professional record can be essential if your insurance company requires proof of regular inspections.

Yes. The Home Watch Guy, LLC is fully insured for your protection. I carry a general liability policy written specifically for home watch professionals. While I don’t perform repairs, my insurance coverage ensures you’re backed if something happens during a visit. Certificates of insurance are available on request.

🔧 HOW IT WORKS

Inspections can be weekly, every other week, or monthly—whatever fits your needs. I also offer extra visits after storms or if you have a special request, so your Southern Maine home never goes too long without attention.

I check inside and out for signs of water damage, heating or system failures, forced entry, storm damage, pest problems, and anything else unusual. My goal is to catch issues early before they turn into costly repairs.

Pricing depends on the frequency of visits. Most clients who choose bi-monthly service spend under $100 per month. Flexible options are available so you can match coverage to your budget and property type.

Yes. After each inspection, I send a digital summary with time-stamped photos and detailed notes. These reports not only keep you informed but also serve as documentation for insurance purposes.

Does my insurance require regular home checks?

In many cases, yes. Insurers often require that vacant or seasonal homes be inspected at least once every 30 days. Without proof, claims for storm damage or water leaks could be denied. Having a professional home watch service helps you stay compliant and protected.

🌪️WEATHER & STORMS

What happens if a major storm is forecast?

If a coastal Maine storm is predicted, I can schedule an extra inspection before and after the event. This ensures your property is secure ahead of time and quickly checked for damage once the weather clears.
