Home Watch Services Questions
How often will you check my home?
Our service plans range from weekly to monthly visits, depending on your needs. We’ll work with you to create a customized schedule that provides the right level of oversight.
My alarm company provides security for my home. What value do you add?
An alarm company monitors entry into your home or a fire alarm but does not monitor potential problems due to broken pipes, mold, pests, or squatters. We identify those problems or the possibility of their occurrence and notify you for guidance.
What type of reporting can I expect from you?
Close to Home will email you a detailed report with photos of any identified issues after inspecting the interior and exterior of your home.
If I need coordination with contractors doing work on my home can you help?
Close to Home will provide access services and remain on-site for an hourly charge. We require at least 48 hours’ notice to schedule our personnel.
If you find a problem what type of notification will I receive?
Close to Home will send you a report upon completion of our home visit. Any identified problems will be accompanied by images and detailed descriptions. If we take any immediate action to prevent further damage we will contact you immediately to discuss what occurred and consider what course of action is needed for the repair.
