Frequently Asked Questions
What specific tasks are included in preparing a home for absence?
Preparing a home for absence involves a series of steps to ensure its safety and security while you're away. While every house is different and may require specific attention, there are several standard tasks that most homeowners should consider. Our core Departure & Arrival Services include thermostat reset, turning off the ice maker, and setting light timers. However, a thorough preparation often entails much more. This can include securing all windows and doors, checking and setting security systems, unplugging non-essential electronics, arranging for mail and package collection, inspecting plumbing fixtures, and ensuring the water main is turned off if you'll be gone for an extended period.
Additionally, it's wise to arrange for someone to check on the property periodically, especially during extreme weather. These comprehensive steps, combined with our core services, will help provide peace of mind knowing your home is well-prepared and protected during your absence. We also offer personalized checklists to ensure all your specific needs are addressed before you leave.
Do you provide a checklist of everything done during departure and arrival services?
Yes, we provide a complete checklist of all included services based on your agreed package.
How will I know what services were completed during your visit?
In every visit, we provide a complete report with images and videos sent via email.
What happens if you find an issue while preparing my home for arrival?
We will notify you immediately should we find any issues. In our onboarding, we’ll get a tiered list of emergency contacts should we not be able to get ahold of you.
Are your departure and arrival services customizable to my home's specific needs?
Yes, we offer itemized services to create your own package. Many customers frequently use a combination of services (i.e. departure/arrival services with snowbird services) to gain a discount.
