About Naples Home Watchers
Are you a SEASONAL RESIDENT or ABSENTEE OWNER? Then enjoy peace of mind with Naples Home Watchers LLC watching over your home as if it were our own: keeping your residence/vacation home not only safe and secure, but eyeing small problems before they become big expensive ones.
Each home watch experience is different, and we customize based upon your schedule, your needs and the features of your home. But generally speaking, we make sure the exterior of your home doesn’t give away your absence and that lawn areas appear suitably maintained. We check the interior at least twice a month to get ahead of any potential issues such as a leaky toilet or the air conditioning not cooling.
Should an issue arise, we will contact you immediately; and in a circumstance of not being able to reach you in an emergency, we request permission in advance to call in any professionals needed to quickly circumvent the issue. Remember the longer to repair damage, the larger the disaster, especially when it comes to problems such as mold.
Our basic 36-point inspection (see list below) is performed as applicable twice per month: $100 for single family homes and our inspection for condos which follow is $75. Additional inspections $30 per visit.
We also provide concierge services such as pet-sitting, plant watering, cleaning services, changing out air filters and batteries, meeting contractors, project coordination, meeting up with guests, hurricane protection, emergency visits or alarm call outs, accepting deliveries and providing photos, rides to the airport, etc. on a quoted basis.
