Do you only service Village Walk?

• Yes. The Village Watch exclusively provides Home Watch services within the Village Walk Bonita Springs community. This allows us to maintain a consistent weekly inspection route and reliable oversight of each home we monitor.

​

Who performs the inspections?

• All inspections are completed personally by Meghann & Damian. We are an owner-operated service and do not use rotating staff or third-party inspectors.

​

Are you insured?

• Yes. The Village Watch carries General Liability Insurance ($1M/$2M aggregate) and Professional Liability coverage for added peace of mind.

​

How often do you check the home?

• We visit the home EVERY week while you are away. Our Basic Home Watch Service includes:

  • Formal Inspections (every other week)

  • Informal Inspections (during off-weeks)

• This structured weekly model allows for more consistent monitoring than monthly or occasional checks.

​

Do you offer bi-weekly or monthly-only inspections?

• No, we do not offer bi-weekly or monthly-only inspections, as a lot can happen in 30 days — especially in Southwest Florida's heat and humidity.

• Weekly visits allow us to identify early warning signs and address potential concerns before they become major and costly problems.

​

What is the difference between a Formal and Informal Inspection?

• Formal Inspection

  • A detailed interior and exterior inspection including humidity and leak checks, HVAC and temperature monitoring, running faucets and flushing toilets to maintain plumbing and detect potential issues.

  • A detailed inspection report with notes and photos (if applicable) will be emailed within 24 hours of the inspection.

• Informal Inspection

  • A supplemental exterior check and brief interior walkthrough performed between formal inspections to monitor the home's general condition and security.

  • Reports are not issued unless a concern is observed.

​

What happens if you find an issue at the home?

• If anything unusual or concerning is observed, we will notify you promptly and document the concern. Urgent matters are communicated immediately by phone, while non-urgent items may be shared by email or noted in the next formal inspection report. Photos may be provided when applicable.

​

How does the $70/month service plan work?

• Our Basic Home Watch Service follows a structured weekly inspection schedule. In a typical month, this includes:

  • Two Formal Inspections ($25 each)

  • Two Informal Inspections ($10 each)

• This results in a typical monthly total of approximately $70.

​

Why do monthly totals sometimes vary?

• Because inspections are performed weekly, some calendar months may include more than four visits depending on how the inspection dates fall within the month.

• All inspections are itemized and billed per visit. The $70 reflects a typical month, not a flat monthly fee.

• Additional services, special requests, or extra visits that require time beyond the scope of routine inspections are subject to an additional fee.

​

When will I be billed?

• We email an electronic invoice at the end of each month detailing all inspections performed and any additional services requested.

• Payment may be made through a secure payment link within the invoice or via Zelle or Venmo.

​

What should I do to prepare for the months I will be gone?

• Please see our Home Departure Checklist for helpful tips for homeowners prior to departing their home for an extended period of time.
