The National Home Watch Association defines Home Watch as “a visual inspection of a home or property, looking for obvious issues.”

We are a locally owned, insured, bonded, and accredited home watch company serving the Steamboat Springs community. We check your property and identify potential problems while it’s vacant. Unlike remote alarm monitoring services, we provide a physical presence. Contact us for any specific requests.

Alarm companies monitor entry and smoke/fire alarms remotely, but they don’t provide a physical presence or check for issues like leaks, mechanical failures, mold, or pests. We identify these problems and notify you for guidance.

Homewatch Steamboat proudly displays the Accredited banner of the National Home Watch Association. We have been vetted and approved to ensure we are trained, insured and bonded. We also subscribe to the NHWA’s Code of Ethics and follow industry best practices. Our owner is a Certified Home Watch Professional (NHWA).

While we do not provide home maintenance services, we can refer you to quality contractors and coordinate access to your property.

After we perform our services, we’ll email you an invoice with links for various payment options. We accept checks, credit cards, and Venmo.

Most neighborhood watch programs are passive by nature and do not provide the level of engagement with your property that we provide. We will check your property’s interior and exterior in far more detail than you can expect from a neighborhood watch program.

We are not house sitters. We are trained, insured and bonded and our core service includes weekly or biweekly home visits where we follow a specific and mutually agreed upon checklist. We are typically in an average home for 30-45 minutes per visit and take great pride in making you home is safe and secure.

No, we are not. Traditional property management involves activities like leasing, negotiating lease terms, and handling security deposits, which fall under the Colorado Real Estate Commission’s definition of real estate activity. We do not provide these services or manage rental/investment properties. Home Watch is a visual inspection of a home or property, looking for obvious issues.

We will send you a detailed report by email with pictures of any problems identified upon completion of inspecting the interior and exterior of your home.

We believe our services are reasonably priced for the value we provide. Comparing the cost of potential problems in unoccupied homes with our service fees shows excellent value. Our per-visit price depends on factors like home size, layout, distance, and unique requests. We offer free home visits/consultations or per-visit estimates before any service.

No. We check your property, but we are not property inspectors. Property inspectors are usually involved in the sale of a property to inspect the structure, plumbing, electrical and heating and air condition systems. Home Watch does visual inspections, looking for obvious problems or potential problems.

Yes, we can provide access services and remain on-site for an hourly charge. We ask for at least a 48 hours notification to schedule our personnel when possible. We do understand emergencies arise and will do our best to accommodate.

We will send you a report upon completion of our visit to your home. Any problems identified will be accompanied by pictures and details of the problem. If there is something urgent identified, we will contact you immediately to discuss what course of action you desire.

Absolutely. We can coordinate access to your property for any situation at an hourly rate. All we need is your notification of date and time and any instructions you have.
