Home watch

As-needed home watch, a visit when you ask for one

For owners who want an occasional set of eyes on their home without a fixed schedule. A small monthly standby keeps your home ready, and you request a visit whenever you need one.

Why as-needed

Planned home watch, on your terms

As-needed is a flexible, secondary option. It suits owners who only want the occasional visit. It is a planned service, not an on-call or emergency one, so we agree a little notice up front.

A visit when you ask

No fixed schedule. Request a visit and we plan it in around route and capacity.

Monthly standby

Keeps your profile, access and history ready. No visit is included.

Planned, not on call

We are not a 24/7 or same-day service. We agree a minimum notice.

The same full inspection

When a visit happens, it is the same full inspection, 35 checks in nine categories, as recurring.

Every visit, the same standard

What we check at your home

A requested visit follows the same full inspection as our recurring plans, visual and non-invasive. Here is what we look at.

  • Water and leaksFaucets, sinks, ceilings, under cabinets and the water heater
  • AC and humidityTemperature, thermostat and mold risk in the Florida heat
  • Pool and lanaiWater level, pump running and the screen cage
  • Pests and exteriorSigns of pests, roof, gutters and walls
  • Doors, windows, securityLocked up, lights, and any signs of entry
  • Lawn and irrigationSprinklers, overgrowth and obvious issues
  • Mail and entryMail collected so the home never looks empty
  • Plumbing and drainsRun taps and toilets to keep drains healthy
  • Electrical basicsBreakers, visible wiring and appliances left on

Proof of every visit

You see exactly what we saw

Any company can email you a checklist. Every requested visit ends with dated photos and the location, so you can see the house itself and you know the visit really happened.

Your owner dashboard opens in January 2027, and it will bring your reports, tasks, invoices and messages together in one place. Until then it all reaches you by email, and nothing waits for the dashboard.

Good to know

As-needed home watch, answered

You pay a small monthly standby that keeps your home ready, then request a visit whenever you need one. Each visit is scheduled around route and capacity, and billed separately.

No. The monthly standby keeps your profile, access and history ready. Visits are billed per visit.

Yes, every visit, inside and out. A drive-by tells you nothing about a running toilet or an AC that stopped three weeks ago, and in a closed-up house those two do the most damage.

We agree a minimum notice up front. As-needed is a planned service, not an on-call or same-day one.

No. We are not a 24/7 or emergency service. If you want set eyes on your home, weekly or bi-weekly is a better fit.

Yes. Storm monitoring and a priority check before and after an announced storm are included for all active clients, including as-needed.

As-needed has two parts: a monthly standby fee that keeps your profile ready, and a rate for each visit you request.

What you pay depends on the home: the type, the size, whether there is a pool or waterfront, and where it sits. So we come and look first. Maarten walks the home with you and afterwards you get the plan and the price in writing, with the reasoning next to the number. No obligation. See how pricing works for what sets the rate.
