Why should you hire HBB Home Watch Service?

There are many good reasons to hire a certified Florida home watch service, as it protects your investment from Florida's heat, humidity and storm risk while meeting a variety of requirements, including:

Meeting the requirements of your home insurance: Your home insurance usually requires someone to check your home while you are away. These requirements can be very specific, ranging from a certain number of checks to a limit on the number of days within which damage must be reported. Your policy may also require certain utilities and appliances, such as water and water heaters, to be turned off. If you do not meet these requirements, your insurance company may deny your claim if your home or its contents are damaged

Preventing and minimizing damage: Regular thorough checks can prevent damage by identifying problems before they occur. They can also help minimize damage by addressing issues such as high humidity, burst pipes, and flooding early on.

Reducing the likelihood of vandalism, burglary, and squatters: Regularly checking your property can deter people from damaging your property or breaking in, and make it less obvious that you are away for an extended period of time by removing mail and flyers, turning on the lights from time to time, and maintaining the exterior of your home.

Hurricane and severe weather preparedness

Hurricane season is a defining part of owning a home in Florida, and we build storm prep into every visit from June through November. We can visit your residence prior to storms to secure potential projectiles. We can close permanently attached storm shutters or coordinate the installation of removable panels. While post-storm checks are conducted, they differ from full home watch walkthroughs. You will receive photos of the property and any damage that is visible.
