WATCH and MANAGEMENT

Our team will keep a watchful eye on your property and pitch in with tasks and errands while you are away.  We are here to keep things running smoothly in your absence.

HOME WATCH

During a home check, our team looks for signs of unwanted visitors, forced entry, leaks, water damage, and pests. We verify that home entrances are secure, monitor the snow load, cycle water through all plumbing systems, and brush away standing water mineral build-up.  

 

Before we leave, we create a physical presence at your property by clearing snow from entryways, securing mail and packages, and blowing leaves and pine needles from your decks and patios.  All relevant findings are documented in a detailed report with photos, which is sent via email and stored on our customer portal.

When Issues Are Found

Mountain Maiden maintains a general contractor license and can secure contractors to handle issues or repairs on your behalf.  

We will involve you as much or as little as you prefer when issues are found.  Per the protocol you have outlined, we will notify you, secure contractors, begin repair work, and provide you with status updates during projects.

On Call

Sometimes the unexpected happens... travel delays, a major storm hits, or your home monitoring system goes offline.  If you would like to have a local partner available to check things out from time to time, you can retain us for on call services only.  We still need a contract in place granting us permission to access your property and the keys or codes to get in - so don't wait until the unexpected occurs to set things in motion.

Pre Arrival and Post Departure

If you would like to walk into your home and start enjoying your stay upon arrival, we can arrange house cleaning, set your heat/AC to the desired temperature, uncover your furniture, blow off your decks and vehicles, whatever tasks would be helpful to ease your arrival.

At the end of your stay, we can perform the tasks needed to secure your home as well.  We can empty your fridge and freezer, remove the trash and recycling, cover patio furniture, refuel your vehicles, set up trickle chargers, arrange house cleaning, and adjust your heat/AC settings to 'away'.  You can feel confident when you leave knowing everything will be handled per your instructions.

Mail and Package Management

Need someone to pick up your mail or packages at the post office or drop box?  Expecting a delivery while you are away? We provide mail, package, and delivery acceptance services, checking for any signs of damage and taking action if needed.

If you prefer to have the contents handled before you arrive, we can assemble furniture and stock items in pantries and closets per your request.  If the contents are damaged or parts are missing, we will contact the manufacturer to arrange part delivery, return, pickup, or replacement as needed, aiming to resolve the issue before your arrival.

Special Home Projects and Requests

Is there something you want to do around the house, but just can't seem to find the time to do or plan it? We can help with projects such as organizing your pantry, closets, or garage.  

Need to find a piece of furniture to fit into a particular space or how about a second refrigerator for the garage? We can help find deals and keep our eyes out for those special hard to find items.  

 

Just let us know what would help your home function better and we will do what we can to make it happen.
