Also; as needed, we will arrange to await deliveries or oversee contractors you have hired for projects.
This is our basic service for homeowners who wish to contract and pay separately for their own services (such as mowing, pool*, pest control, etc.) but still want the peace of mind knowing that their property is being carefully monitored in their absence.
*We recommend that you leave the main water supply off at all times. Since pool services at times need to add water to your pool we co-ordinate our visits around your pool service visits, so either they or we can switch the main water off thus protecting your home from possible water damage.
