Services

You have a busy schedule. Things come up and you need to be in two places at once. That furniture you ordered six months ago will be delivered Wednesday but you have meetings. They're calling for a hurricane but you are on a business trip. You manage your own rental and need someone local to check on your home while guests are there or between guest rentals. That's where I come in.
Below is a brief description of the services that I offer and a sample checklist of what I look for during a wellness check or a hurricane check.  If you have needs/requirements not listed below, give me a call to discuss how I might be of service. 

Basic Services

I offer many services such as: 

  • Property Management Services
  • Pre/post storm check of your property with damage assessment
  • Weekly general inspections of your house and property to give you the peace of mind that your house is in good condition. 
  • Open up your house for contractors who are coming to conduct maintenance on your house or vendors who are making deliveries of items you purchased in order to save you from making an un-scheduled trip to the beach.
  • Project Management Services for your small home projects

 For these services, I charge an affordable hourly rate, with a one hour minimum.

Instant Feedback

Should I discover any damage to your house during my visit, I can instantly call or send you pictures or videos in order to help you determine your next steps. If you prefer, we could video-chat with FaceTime or Zoom.  Otherwise, I can give you the peace of mind knowing that your investment is safe and sound while you are away.

  • Phone Call
  • Text/Email
  • Picture or Video Attachment to Text/Email
  • Video Chat (FaceTime or Zoom)

Ways to Secure my Services

You can hire me on an as-needed basis or put me on retainer so you can be set up with regularly scheduled inspection visits to your house.  This is especially important during the winter months to ensure that you don’t have any busted pipes or flooding due to your heating system being out of commission.  This is equally important during the summer months to ensure that your AC system is functioning properly to keep mold from growing in your home.  For clients that hire me with the monthly retainer, you get a 10% discount for additional hours that may be required during a particular visit.  

  • Monthly Retainer
  • Ad-Hoc Basis
  • Seasonal
Property Management Service 
Due to popular demand, I now offer a new service for my customers who handle their own rental property.  If your renter calls with an issue and you need somebody local who can run over and check on it, whether it’s resetting a breaker, checking your Internet connection, unlocking the owner’s pantry to get supplies, etc., I can help. I can also assist you with rental property customer checkouts by inspecting your home after the renters leave to ensure that no damage was done to your property.  I can also assist with other minor tasks like replacing the battery in the Ring doorbell and electronic locks to help you keep things run smoothly. 
How can I help you?
The following is a comprehensive checklist of what I would check when visiting your home for a wellness check and a basic pre/post hurricane check.  If there are other items in your house that you would like me to check on, I am more than willing to accommodate you.  This could either be a one-time check or done on a routine basis during your off season.
