Your House, Looked After While You Are Away.
One named contact for your residence while you travel. Documented walkthroughs, supervised vendors, and a written report with photographs every Friday.
/ THE SEASON
Many families here leave in November and return in April. The house stays behind. Pipes freeze. Roofs leak. Packages gather at the door. The alarm company watches the alarm, and the landscaper watches the lawn.
Residence Oversight gives the house one person who knows it, sees it every week, and tells you exactly how it is.
/ WHAT IS INCLUDED
- A single named point of contact for the residence
- Caregiver visits at the frequency you choose: a documented walkthrough, mail and packages, plants, and housekeeping
- Scheduling, on-site access, and supervision for routine maintenance and repair vendors
- Repair triage: assessment, quotes, and coordination within a spending limit you set
- Same-day notice of anything urgent
- A written report every Friday, with photographs of the home
/ HOW IT WORKS
- A walkthrough before you leave. We document the house, its systems, your vendors, and how you want each handled.
- You email your dates. Coverage begins the day you depart and ends the day you return. Extend or shorten it the same way.
- A report every Friday. What we saw, what was done, and anything that needs your decision.
- Spending stays in your hands. You set a limit per incident. Anything above it waits for your written approval. Emergencies such as water intrusion or loss of heat are handled first, and you hear from us right away.
- Vendors bill you directly. We never hold, advance, or mark up your funds.
/ RATES
Residence Oversight: from $500 per week of coverage, flat. Part weeks are billed as full weeks.
Caregiver visits: billed separately at $55 per hour.
Vendor and trade costs: billed to you directly by the vendor.
/ SCOPE
Residence Oversight is coordination and reporting. Licensed vendors perform all trade work. Capital projects, renovations, insurance claims, security or alarm response, and leasing or rental of property sit outside this service. Care and nursing are separate engagements.
/ WHEN A HOUSE SITS EMPTY
The same service applies when a parent moves to a senior living community and the house waits while the family decides what comes next. We keep it in order, month by month, until that decision is made.
/ HOW IT BEGINS
One conversation and one walkthrough, ideally two weeks before you leave. Call (203) 914-4834 or request a private assessment. We respond to every inquiry within two hours.
