FAQ's

After an onsite visit and discussion of your requirements, Gulf Coast Home Watch will provide you our professional assessment, recommendation, and cost.

There are many reasons why pricing may vary such as potential wind, hail, theft, fire damages, and air conditioning failures but our pricing model is based upon the number of water zones in your home, not square footage.  Water damage is a common reason why insurance claims are filed so pay particular attention to water zones.  Call us for a free home watch evaluation at (239) 289-7294.

Gulf Shore Home Watch serves Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, North Fort Myers, Sanibel, Estero, Bonita Springs, Bonita Beach and Babcock Ranch.

Home watch is a licensed, bonded and insured service that visits and inspects your property for the purpose of making sure all is well while you are away. We will notify you of any issues and we can coordinate any repairs necessary.

While you might ask a neighbor or friend to check on things occasionally, they simply cannot provide the professional level of service that Gulf Shore Home Watch  offers. Unlike a well-intentioned neighbor, our staff has been thoroughly trained and utilizes state of the art monitoring equipment to catch potential problems before they become a major issue. Additionally, if a serious problem arises and you need someone to take swift action on your behalf, your property can quickly become an imposition to your neighbor. These reasons and many more are why it is important to have a trained professional methodically inspect your home, complete a detailed real-time inspection report, and have the ability to swiftly coordinate licensed professionals to assist in the repair and maintenance of your home if a problem should arise.

Gulf Shore Home Watch prepares a property observation report that includes special items requested by each homeowner during each visit. We are always vigilant and looking for obvious issues and concerns that may not be included in the standard observation report. If we observe something out of the ordinary we make an evaluation of the issues and determine the level of urgency that it should require.

We recommend weekly inspections of your home to ensure adequate monitoring. However, we also offer bi-weekly and monthly package options.

The biggest concern for owners in Southwest Florida is water intrusion and high humidity.

Maintaining humidity levels at below 55% is ideal. Your Gulf Shore Home Watch professional checks the air conditioner and humidistat and uses a hydrometer and laser thermometer to verify readings.

Gulf Shore Home Watch checks walls, ceilings, baseboards, windows, under sinks, and anywhere else moisture might collect.
