House Checks
$80/Visit
Regular visits while you're away! Pick up mail, check
heat...
The Home Services Shop has announced a new
service to give peace of mind for homeowners who are away from
home for substantial periods of time. The service is
appropriately called House Checks.
Whether a homeowner is away on an overseas assignment,
spending the winter in Florida or simply going away for a week,
the Home Services Shop can stop by to check that everything is
in order.
The service is a natural extension for this niche business,
which provides “one stop shopping” for all the small jobs around
the house. The company has performed over 4,500 jobs since
opening in early 2001. Those jobs include general maintenance
and repairs (handyman), carpentry, painting, plumbing, tile and
electronic assistance.
In 2002 The Home Services Shop introduced a Home
Maintenance Program in which homeowners contract for regular
visits to perform that “to do” list of jobs that every homeowner
has around the home. Nearly 250 clients of the company utilize
this program, which provides seasonal maintenance (gutter
cleaning, window washing, power washing, etc) and small handyman
work.
House Checks will provide regular visits to ensure a
number of important homeowner concerns are alleviated: With each
visit a professional will make sure the plumbing and heating is
working, your security lights are on, the cars are turned on,
“junk mail” is pick up from the driveway and they will even turn
the heat on and re-stock the kitchen with fresh milk, bread and
flowers when the homeowner returns. For those leaving their home
for long periods or have their home rented, this one “point of
contact” is a source of tremendous comfort. One executive
recently transferred overseas said, “I’m 14 time zones away and
your company simplifies a very important part of our lives. When
I e-mail or call you, I no longer worry about the job at my
house, because I know it will be done!” Furthermore, for those
jobs the Home Services Shop does not do, the company can
coordinate work performed by other service providers.
One of the most important aspects of the service is a company
behind every visit: No longer does the homeowner have to rely on
a neighbor, housekeeper, or relative to watch out for the
property. However, should a neighbor need to contact someone,
the neighbor can simply contact the Home Services Shop.
