Leaving your beloved Florida Keys home vacant, whether for a quick weekend getaway or an extended summer adventure, can be a source of worry. Sure, you could ask a friend or neighbor to keep an eye on things, but is that really the best course of action? Here at Keyswatch Residential Services, we understand the unique needs of Florida Keys homeowners and believe professional home watch services offer distinct advantages over relying solely on a good friend or neighbor.
Expertise and Training
Owners Michael and Zofia Klimpl are trained and experienced individuals who understand the specific vulnerabilities of Florida Keys homes. This includes knowledge of storm preparedness, pest control specific to the region, and the potential for water damage due to proximity to the ocean. Friends and neighbors, while well-meaning, might lack this specialized knowledge, leaving your property at risk.
Detailed Inspections and Reporting
Keyswatch conducts thorough professional inspections of your property, checking for signs of forced entry, water leaks, malfunctioning appliances, pest activity, and any other potential problems. These inspections are documented in detailed electronic reports that include timestamps, GPS location verification, and photos. This provides you with peace of mind, allowing you to see exactly what’s happening at your home, even from afar. Friends or neighbors may not be as meticulous or provide such comprehensive documentation.
Reliability and Consistency
Life happens. Friends and neighbors get sick, go on vacation, or have unexpected emergencies. This can leave your home unchecked for days, potentially causing problems to fester. Professional home watch services like Keyswatch offer scheduled visits according to your needs, ensuring consistent monitoring, no matter the season.
Insurance and Liability
Accidents happen, even in the most careful of circumstances. If a friend or neighbor accidentally damages something while checking on your home, who covers the cost? With Keyswatch, you have the security of knowing we are bonded and insured. This protects you from financial responsibility in case of unforeseen incidents.
Professional Network
Should a problem arise at your home while you’re away, professional home watch companies like Keyswatch have established relationships with reliable local contractors. This allows for quick and efficient repairs, minimizing damage and saving you valuable time and money. Friends or neighbors may not have these connections, potentially delaying necessary repairs.
Maintaining Your Home’s Systems
Many homeowners underestimate the importance of having someone check on a vacant property regularly. Unopened windows can trap humidity, leading to mold growth. Standing water can attract pests. Unattended plumbing leaks can cause major damage. Professional home watch services like Keyswatch can take steps to mitigate these risks, ensuring your home functions properly upon your return.
Peace of Mind for Your Investment
Your Florida Keys home is a valuable investment. Leaving it vacant comes with inherent risks. Professional home watch services from Keyswatch offer a proactive approach to protecting your property, allowing you to relax and enjoy your time away without worry.
Beyond the Basics
Keyswatch goes beyond just checking on your home. We can also handle tasks like collecting mail and newspapers, watering plants, bringing in outdoor furniture before a storm, and even coordinating with pool maintenance companies. This extra layer of service ensures your home remains well-maintained and cared for during your absence.
