Why Use A Home Watch Service

The National Homewatch Association best describes what we do as a basic home/property watch service which is defined as a visual inspection of a home or property, looking for obvious issues.

Topsail Home Watch feels that your home is one of your biggest assets but can also be a huge liability if not taken care of properly.

If you are an owner who manages a vacation rental house or condo and require boots on the ground to address issues when you can't be there, then Topsail Home Watch is at your service.

Do you need someone to check in your service people such as cleaners, landscaping, or other contractors in addition to a basic service?

Topsail Home Watch can provide many services above and beyond those of your rental management agencies, especially during the "off season" when the properties are most often unoccupied and probably not under intense rental management supervision. We can supervise above and beyond that level if so desired and engage a long checklist of services and use it to compare services you might be seeking.

We are fully bonded and insured specifically for the service we provide.

Having your neighbor or friend watch your home is an imposition on your neighbor and a liability for them. First of all, they are tied to routinely checking your house, a chore that is easily forgotten and can become burdensome if they are called away. Your neighbor just can't know all the things that need to be checked and when they need to be checked.

When a major storm is headed in our direction it can be nerve racking, especially if you are unable to visit and secure everything before hand. This is where we can come in.
