Frequently Asked Questions
How are monthly fees determined?
Monthly fees are based on several factors including property size, complexity, location, frequency of visits required, and the scope of services needed. We provide a custom quote after assessing your specific property and requirements.
Can I customize my service package?
Absolutely. While we offer structured tiers for convenience, all of our service packages can be customized to include exactly what you need and exclude what you don't. We pride ourselves on flexibility and personalization.
Are there any long-term contracts required?
Our standard service agreements are month-to-month with a 30-day notice period. We also offer annual contracts with preferential pricing for clients who prefer longer-term arrangements.
How are vendor services billed?
Vendor services are typically billed directly to you. We coordinate and oversee the work but do not mark up vendor costs. This ensures complete transparency in all transactions related to your property.
How do you help protect a second home in Rhode Island?
Protecting a second home in Rhode Island requires specialized knowledge of coastal conditions, seasonal weather patterns, and local regulations. Our comprehensive monitoring includes regular inspections for moisture issues, storm damage prevention, security system checks, and coordination with local emergency services. We also maintain relationships with trusted local contractors who understand the unique challenges of coastal properties, from salt air corrosion to hurricane preparedness.
What is a home watch service?
A home watch service provides regular monitoring and inspection of your property when you're away, particularly for seasonal or vacation homes. Unlike traditional property management, home watch focuses on preventive care through routine visits to check for issues like water leaks, HVAC problems, security breaches, or storm damage. Our home watch services include visual inspections, system checks, mail collection, and immediate notification of any concerns, giving you peace of mind while you're away from your property.
