Professional Home Watch Service Throughout Palm Beach County

What Home Watch Is — And What It Isn't

Home watch is not house sitting. It is not property management. It is not a security patrol. It is a systematic, professional visual inspection performed on a scheduled basis by trained inspectors who know exactly what to look for in a South Florida home.

For Palm Beach County homeowners who spend part of the year in the Northeast, Midwest, or abroad, home watch is the single most important thing you can do to protect a property that would otherwise sit unoccupied for weeks or months at a time. A small water leak found on day three costs a few hundred dollars. The same leak discovered on day sixty costs fifty thousand — and takes months of restoration to make right.

Every visit is GPS timestamped and photo documented. You receive a detailed report by email so you have complete visibility into the condition of your property, no matter where in the world you happen to be.

Interior Inspection Checklist

Our interior inspection protocol covers every major system and every high-risk area of your Palm Beach County home. On each visit we verify: HVAC operation and thermostat setting, humidity levels, plumbing fixtures and visible water lines, water leak detection under sinks and around appliances, refrigerator and freezer function, breaker panel condition, smoke and carbon monoxide detector status, and interior signs of pest intrusion.

We check every door and window to confirm they are locked and undisturbed. We look and smell for the earliest signs of mold, mildew, or moisture — the single greatest threat to any South Florida home sitting empty in the summer heat. We visually verify major appliances, and we walk every interior room documenting condition with timestamped photos.

Exterior Inspection Checklist

Palm Beach County properties face a unique combination of intense sun, salt air, tropical humidity, wildlife, and seasonal storm exposure. Our exterior protocol checks grounds and landscaping condition, roof appearance from ground level, pool and spa water level and clarity, driveway and patio condition, screens and enclosures, and any visible signs of intrusion or vandalism.

We collect mail and packages so nothing accumulates at the door signaling an empty home. We check exterior lighting, hurricane shutters where installed, and irrigation. Every observation is documented with photos so you see exactly what we see.

Photo Documentation & Detailed Reporting

After every single visit — no exceptions — you receive a detailed inspection report by email. The report is GPS timestamped, includes clear photos of your property's interior and exterior condition, and documents any observation of note in plain language.

If we discover an issue, we call you immediately. We coordinate with your preferred vendors or ours to resolve it. You remain in complete control of every decision while we handle the boots-on-the-ground work at your Palm Beach County home.

Weekly or Bi-Weekly Service Available

Most Palm Beach County clients select weekly inspections. Weekly is the industry standard and the frequency recommended by the National Home Watch Association for homes sitting unoccupied for extended periods. Bi-weekly service is available for shorter absences.

We serve all 90+ Palm Beach County communities and neighborhoods, from oceanfront estates in Manalapan and Palm Beach to golf and equestrian communities in Wellington, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Boca Raton, and Delray Beach — as well as Stuart, Jupiter Island, and Sailfish Point in Martin County.

Why Professional Home Watch Beats a Neighbor

A trusted neighbor is a wonderful thing. They are not, however, a substitute for a bonded, insured, and NHWA-accredited home watch service. Neighbors have their own lives, their own travel, their own family emergencies. They are not trained to spot the early warning signs of a slab leak, an HVAC condensate line backing up, or the first faint smell of mildew in a guest suite.

Palm Beach Home Watch is locally owned and operated. We are bonded and insured. We provide a Certificate of Insurance naming your property and HOA as additionally insured. We arrive on a documented schedule with a documented protocol — every single visit.
