Frequently Asked Questions About Home Watch Services

---

  According to the National Home Watch Association, home watch is defined as “a visual inspection of a home or property looking for obvious issues.” 

 We are a leading home watch company in Rochester, NY, offering insured, bonded, and accredited home watch services. Serving Monroe, Orleans, Genesee, Livingston, Ontario, and Wayne counties, we inspect your property for obvious issues that may arise while it is unoccupied. Unlike remote alarm monitoring, we provide a random physical presence to your property helping it to remain secure and well-maintained. 

 While a neighbor may offer to check on your property, professional home watch services provide reliable, regular inspections. Non-professional oversight may lead to missed issues and difficulties in accountability. Home watch services offer documented visits and early detection of costly problems like water or mold damage.
