Howling Home Watch provides scheduled visual property check services for homeowners who are away from their property for extended periods of time. Whether you are traveling, deployed, living seasonally elsewhere, managing a vacant property, or simply want additional peace of mind, our Home Watch services help monitor your home for visible concerns before they become costly problems.
During scheduled visits, we perform a visual walkthrough of the accessible interior and exterior of the property looking for signs of water intrusion, storm damage, heating or cooling failures, plumbing concerns, security issues, pest activity, and other obvious changes or irregularities based on the package you have requested. Clients receive digital updates and photo documentation following visits, along with prompt notification if concerns are identified.
Home Watch services are designed to help homeowners maintain awareness of their property while away and provide an added layer of oversight during vacancies, harsh Northern New York weather, seasonal absences, military deployments, and extended travel.
