Home Watch

What is Home Watch?

Home Watch involves routine, comprehensive visual inspections of your unoccupied property to identify potential issues before they escalate into costly problems. At Patron Home Watch in Ave Maria, FL, we go beyond simply waiting for issues to arise — we perform preventive maintenance and systematic inspections to catch problems early, such as HVAC malfunctions, pest infestations, leaking roofs, and power outages.

Our inspections cover the entire interior and exterior of your home, looking for obvious concerns. After each visit, you’ll receive a detailed report, including photographic evidence of any identified issues, ensuring complete transparency and peace of mind while you’re away. Check out our sample report below to see how thorough our services are.
