WHAT IS A NORMAL HOME WATCH VISIT?
A normal Visit is defined as a trip to your property during our normal business hours and an on-site time of up to 60-minutes. A Home Watch inspection in included, as well as other tasks, as long as those tasks can be done within the first hour.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN A PRE-SCHEDULED HOME WATCH VISIT DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS?
A Visit to your property can be customized to include a home watch inspection with a report and photos, opening your residence for the season, closing your residence for the season, meeting family members or guests, picking up the mail and photographing 1st class mail (we can package and send 1st class mail to you and charge you for postage), watering plants, taking out the trash, freshening toilets, sitting with elderly residents, feeding the cat or dog, walking the dog, sitting with the dog or cat, pet sitting, meeting deliveries or sitting packages inside, overseeing construction projects, grocery shopping, starting or driving the car or golf cart to maintain battery freshness and avoid flattened tires, asset documentation, mail forwarding, and other tasks you need done in your absence that are pre-agreed upon. If the inspection and tasks you request take longer than 60-minutes, we can either save those tasks until our next regularly scheduled visit, or charge for an extended visit; your choice.
EXTENDED HOME WATCH VISITS
Any Visit lasting longer than 60-minutes is an Extended Visit. Extended Visits will incur an extra charge. We will contact you regarding the need to extend a Visit and get your pre-approval.
