FAQ
What services are offered by Hearth and HomeWatch?
We provide scheduled inspections for unoccupied properties, ensuring security and identifying potential issues before they become major problems. Our services include security checks, monitoring for pest infestations, structural damage, and water leaks, moisture or weather-related issues, as well as post-storm inspections to assess and report any damage. Additionally, we act as a trusted point of contact for homeowners while they are away.
Additional services include coordinating with contractors for hurricane readiness, HVAC maintenance, electrical systems, pool care, and landscaping. We also offer seasonal preparations, hurricane readiness, cleaning, and more to keep your property in top condition year-round.
