Lake Country Home Watch Services
LCHW provides both HOME WATCH and CONCIERGE Services.
Home Watch Services are scheduled monthly visual inspections of your home or property looking for obvious issues. Should we find an issue or potential problem, we will immediately notify you. From there, together we will develop a plan for how you want to proceed.
Additional visits and services over and above the monthly inspections are proposed on a per-call, fixed fee, or project basis.
Reporting System
We use HomeWatchIT, a cloud-hosted, scheduling and reporting tool that allows us to build a customized inspection schedule and detailed report for your specific home/property.
Please view the video for more information about the HomeWatchIT Reporting System.
