Home Watch

Home Watch is defined as a visual inspection of a home or property, looking for obvious issues. We go above and beyond that definition. King’s Coastal provides a customized inspection routine for your property, utilizing integrated technology tools and the industry’s best practices for security so we can monitor your home on a new level.

We are your eyes, ears and nose while you are away.

We perform an interior and exterior visual walkthrough every visit, looking for leaks, water damage, mold, insect infestations, signs of vandalism, and other issues that may arise. Our experience and depth of inspection allows us to quickly identify potential issues that can arise in a residence. By checking for minor issues in structural, plumbing, electrical, low voltage, HVAC, and other systems, we can do our part in addressing minor issues before they turn into bigger (more expensive) problems.

If repairs or other work needs to be done, we coordinate large and small projects in your absence. This includes providing secure access for contractors and other service professionals, along with supervising their work to ensure the job is done right. Our cleaning, shopping and concierge services provide additional support and time savings. King’s Coastal will be your advocate, and will always represent your best interests when you are away.

Know what’s up at all times.

Each client receives a detailed report of each site visit with pictures and an analysis of home systems. If something is amiss, we will contact you immediately.

Below are some things you can expect King’s Coastal to do while on your property. Every home is different, so the exact routine we perform for your property will be customized to your needs.
