Owning a second home in a tropical paradise like Naples or Marco Island, FL whether for vacationing or retirement is more accessible than ever before. However, a lot of things can happen when a house sits unoccupied for long periods of time, especially in a tropical climate. Worse, knowing there is a problem and not being close enough to fix it yourself. Home Watch is the organic response to address the complications of secondary home-ownership.

Home Watch is, “A visual inspection of a home or property looking for obvious issues.” The goal of Home Watch is to give you peace of mind when you are away from your home by looking after your home as if it was our own.

The two biggest threats facing homeowners in Naples and Marco Island are water damage and mold. Water can come from the roof, the pipes, the hot water heater, the condensate pan, you name it. While mold can start at just 55% and the average humidity in this tropical paradise is over 70%!

Further, it rains, a lot. Summers in this tropical climate are hot and wet, and it sits right in the middle of hurricane alley. Unlike most other places, the AC runs over 10 months a year, lowering the useful life down to 8 years and increasing the likelihood of a breakdown due to wear and tear, this can be especially problematic in the summer.

In fact, with over 66% of the population of Naples and Marco Island seasonal, the time of year when issues are most likely to occur, the summer time, is usually the time of year people go back to their other home.

Unforeseen damage can happen at any time especially in an unoccupied or vacant home that is why it is about protecting yourself, and your investment. Most Homeowner’s Insurance policies will deny your claim if over a month transpires from when an issue occurs and when it is reported. Further, even condominiums HOAs are realizing just how risky it is.

Many condo boards are requiring any homeowner who is gone for the season to have a professional home watch company independent of the property management to periodically check on their unit as a safeguard against damage due to the risk not just for your unit but for the neighboring ones too!

All these reasons and more are why it is important to have a home watch service in Naples or Marco Island, FL.

Many of our clients came from other home watch services but were looking for something more.
