Frequently asked
Is there a contract or commitment?
No long-term contracts. Most clients pay month-to-month. You can pause or cancel anytime, just give Greg a heads up.
What if there's an emergency?
Greg is available for emergency visits ($75 per visit, or included with Concierge Care). He'll assess the situation, take action if safe to do so, and keep you updated every step of the way.
How quickly do I get my inspection report?
After every visit, you'll receive a written report with photos, typically within 24 hours. Priority alerts for urgent issues come immediately by phone or text.
What areas do you serve?
Idaho Home Watch serves the entire Treasure Valley, Boise, Eagle, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Star, Kuna, Middleton, Garden City, and surrounding communities in Ada County and Canyon County. If you're unsure about your area, just call and ask.
Do you check on homes during Idaho winters?
Yes. Winter is when vacant homes are most vulnerable. Weekly checks are strongly recommended during Idaho winters to catch frozen pipes, furnace failures, ice dam damage, and other cold-weather issues before they become catastrophic.
Can you coordinate with my property manager or Realtor?
Absolutely. Greg regularly coordinates with property managers, Realtors, estate executors, and family members. He can be your eyes and ears on the ground while others handle the business side.
What if I need a one-time check?
One-time visits are available. Whether you're going on a two-week vacation or need a single pre-sale inspection, Greg can accommodate. Call to discuss your needs.
