Why Hiring a Professional Home Watch Service Matters
Minnesota winters are no joke. And leaving a home unoccupied during extended cold stretches comes with risks, many of which can be prevented with regular, trained oversight. Here are the key reasons homeowners choose a professional home watch service:
✔ Prevent frozen pipes and water damage
Small temperature fluctuations or furnace issues can create major problems fast. Routine checks ensure systems are functioning and any issues are caught early.
✔ Detect storm damage early
High winds, ice dams, and heavy snow can cause roof and tree damage. A professional eye spots trouble before it escalates.
✔ Ensure security and deter break-ins
An unoccupied home can draw unwanted attention. Regular exterior and interior checks help maintain the appearance of occupancy.
✔ Protect against pests and critters
A quiet, empty home is an invitation for mice and other critters seeking warmth. There is no smell detection in your interior house monitors!
✔ Provide documented reports for insurance
Many insurance companies require proof the home is regularly monitored when unoccupied. You will receive a comprehensive report after each visit detailing with notes and pictures what we observed.
✔ Maintain overall peace of mind
You deserve to enjoy your time away—not worry about what’s happening back home.
Our Professional Home Watch Process
We make preparing for winter easy and thorough. Here’s what the Snowbird Home Watch onboarding experience looks like for new clients:
1. Complimentary Home Evaluation
We start with a free in-person walkthrough of your home. This helps us understand your property, your systems, and any unique features that need special care.
2. Discuss Your Needs & Travel Plans
Whether you're gone for a few weeks or the entire season, we customize our service schedule to your timeline. Weekly? Bi-weekly? Extra checks after storms? We’ll build a plan around you.
3. Review Our Services & Sample Checklist
You'll receive clear information about what our visits include—interior checks, exterior checks, storm monitoring, photo reports, and more.
4. Lock In Your Spot for the Winter Season
We intentionally work with a limited number of clients in North Oaks, Shoreview, White Bear Lake, Arden Hills, and Vadnais Heights—to maintain the high-touch, attentive service we’re known for. Once we finalize your plan, you have a place on our winter schedule.
