Home Watch Sun City Grand

Home Watch Services for Sun City Grand Homes

Every visit is a complete walkthrough of your home, grouped here into six areas so you can see precisely where we go and what we look at while you are away from The Grand.

The Residence

We tour each room and look over the doors, sliders, windows, and ceilings for stains, cracks, or signs of entry.

  • We try every entry door, patio slider, and window to make sure it is locked.
  • We scan the ceilings, walls, and floors for water stains or new cracks.
  • We look for any sign that someone has been inside.
  • We check the smoke detectors and security sensors for warning lights.
  • We make sure the garage doors are closed and secure, including a golf cart garage if you have one.

Climate and Power

We confirm that your thermostat, air conditioning, breakers, and appliances are working the way you set them.

  • We compare the thermostat reading with the setting you chose.
  • We feel for cool air at the registers and listen to the outdoor unit.
  • We look over the breaker panel for tripped circuits.
  • If you leave the refrigerator and freezer running, we confirm they are cold.
  • We make sure your appliances are on or off exactly as you asked.

Water and Air

We run the faucets to keep the drain traps full, check the plumbing for drips, and note the indoor humidity.

  • Each faucet and shower gets a short run to refill the drain traps and keep sewer odor out.
  • We flush the toilets and listen for a fill valve that keeps running.
  • We look under the sinks, around the water heater, and behind the washer for drips.
  • We note the indoor humidity, because a shut house holds moisture after monsoon rain.
  • We confirm the main water valve is still in the position you left it.

Patio, Pool, and Grounds

We look in on the pool, the irrigation, and the desert landscaping so the lot looks the way the Community Association expects.

  • Pools get a water level reading and a pump check.
  • We look at the irrigation for broken heads or spray hitting the stucco.
  • We note any weeds, dead palm fronds, or bare gravel spots against the Association standards.
  • We keep the trash and recycling containers out of sight between pickups.
  • If your home faces a fairway, we look over the windows, screens, and view fencing on that side.

Pest and Scorpion Scan

We scan the baseboards, the garage corners, and the outdoor unit for scorpions, pack rats, and nesting.

  • We scan the baseboards, bathrooms, and garage corners for bark scorpions.
  • We look for pack rat droppings or nests near the garage, the patio, and the outdoor unit.
  • We note worn door sweeps and open gaps so they can be sealed.
  • If something turns up, we call your pest company or let them in.

Your Visit Report

You get a report after each visit. Anything that needs you comes first, with photos attached.

  • We send written notes by email or text as each visit wraps up.
  • Issues that need a decision are listed first, photographed, and followed by a call from us.
  • Each report is dated, which helps if your insurer asks for proof that the home was checked.

The two bookends of a Sun City Grand season

Most of our owners leave as spring turns hot and come back when the fall weather settles in. We handle both ends of the trip.

The spring send off

Before you leave, we set the thermostat to the holding temperature you choose, close the main water valve if you want it closed, and draw the blinds so afternoon sun stays off the floors and furniture.

The fall homecoming

Before you are back, we reverse it. The water main opens, the thermostat drops to your usual setting, the blinds go up, and every tap gets a quick run, so the house feels fresh when you walk in.

Added on request

Storm visits

We come out after a major monsoon or dust storm, so wind and rain damage gets found while it is still small.

Vendor and contractor access

We let your landscaper, pool tech, pest company, or repair crew in, keep them company while they work, and lock the door when they go.

Vehicle care

Someone checks on the car you leave in the garage, on a schedule you set.

Packages and deliveries

We bring anything left at the door inside, so the porch never advertises an empty house.

What you pay comes down to the size of your home and how often we visit. You hear the exact figure before any commitment, and quotes are free. See how a season with us is organized, check our coverage in and around Sun City Grand, or browse questions owners at The Grand ask us.

Pick your visit rhythm, and we take it from there

We can come monthly, twice a month, or weekly, set around your Sun City Grand travel dates.
