Leaving your Greenwich, CT home unattended for long periods can be stressful. The threat of a maintenance failure, storm damage, theft, general upkeep, and other factors can weigh heavily when you can’t be on premises to keep an eye on your property. Security systems can only provide so much support. That’s where Greenwich Home Watch comes in. Greenwich Home Watch delivers true peace of mind when you’re on vacation, traveling for business, or managing a vacation or investment property.

What is Greenwich Home Watch?

When you are a Greenwich Home Watch client, we dispatch our certified professionals to check on your home on a regular basis when you can’t be there. The Greenwich Home Watch team ensures that your property is secure, maintained, and in optimal condition at all times.

Second homeowners in Greenwich often rely on neighbors, family or other casual contacts to watch over their property. This strategy can put burdens on relationships and is not always a reliable means of protecting your home, particularly when a maintenance issue arises. By hiring professionals, you ensure that every detail is meticulously checked, and that issues are promptly addressed. At Greenwich Home Watch, our comprehensive services help preserve your property’s value and provide true peace of mind while you’re away.

What Types of Services Does Greenwich Home Watch Cover?

Greenwich Home Watch visits are customized based on each homeowner’s needs, with options for weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly inspections. Regular visits allow our team to catch issues early, minimizing potential damage that could occur as a result of a mechanical system failure, water damage or a security breach.

When our team members visit your property, they will be highly prepared. Greenwich Home Watch pros carry a detailed checklist that covers security checks, maintenance assessments, and even household tasks. Interior checks monitor for signs of water leaks, HVAC functionality, and appliance health. Exterior checks include assessing landscaping, structural integrity, roofing and siding condition, and exterior lighting. And security checks include verifying that locks, alarm systems, and security cameras are functioning as they should.

Once the scheduled property walkthrough is conducted, the Greenwich Home Watch team provides assessment reports to the homeowner. All findings are documented, including timestamps, photos, and descriptions. Each report is made easily accessible to the homeowner. If issues do arise, immediate action on urgent matters will be taken. Some issues may include leaking pipes, pest infiltration, or faulty mechanical systems.

Major issues, of course, are not the only things we look out for. We can also take in your mail and packages, replace lightbulbs and prepare the home for your return.
