Every plan includes the full interior and exterior checklist and a dated photo Visit Report. Pick the plan that works for you.
Tap your area on the map or the list. Prices include the drive to your house.
Where you land in each range depends on the size of the home: up to 4 bedrooms sits at the low end, 5–8 bedrooms at the top, and 9+ bedroom estates are quoted individually. One-off checks are welcome too, no plan needed. An on-demand visit starts at $75 plus travel, usually within a day, with the full report included. That covers freeze runs as well: when a hard freeze is coming, we'll set your faucets to drip and confirm the heat on request. Plans are month to month, and prepaying the year takes roughly 10% off. We confirm your exact price in writing after the first walk-through.
Single visits, storm work and the in-between jobs are all published here.

Home watch is the job, but since we're already at the house and have a professional handyman on staff, clients hand us the upkeep too: gutter cleaning, soft washing siding, pressure washing decks and drives, screen and small repairs, junk haul-off. It's quoted per job, handled by the same crew, and documented in your next Visit Report.
No. A home inspection is a licensed profession in North Carolina. A licensed home inspector evaluates the condition of a home's systems and structure and gives you a written opinion, usually when a house changes hands. A home watch visit is different: we walk the property on a schedule and record what we saw, read and photographed at the time of the visit. Our reports don't grade systems or offer opinions on their condition. When something looks like it needs an expert eye, we say so plainly and help you get the right licensed trade out to the house.
A rental manager looks after guest turnovers and bookings; between rentals, nobody may enter the house for weeks. Home watch is about the building itself (systems, water, humidity, storm damage) on a schedule you set, whether or not the house is rented.
Yes, with your written authorization. Keys and codes are logged and kept locked away, never left in a lockbox on the door. You can revoke access at any time and we'll return everything.
You get a call the same day with photos, an explanation, and options. Nothing gets fixed or spent without your approval, except what it takes to make the property safe, like closing the valve on a leaking line, which we'll do immediately and tell you about.
We can't tell you what your policy covers. Only your agent can. What we can say is that vacancy and unoccupancy clauses are common, that freeze/water exclusions often hinge on whether the heat was maintained or the water was shut off, and that carriers ask for dated records. Send us your policy's check interval and we'll set the schedule to match, then keep the documentation on file for you.
No. Plans are month to month. If we're not earning it, you stop.
A short call, a walk-through of your home, and a written plan.
