In addition to our monitoring service, we offer a comprehensive Concierge Service. Imagine arriving for your first visit of the season to find your home ready to enjoy: the refrigerator stocked with your favorite fresh food and beverages, decks and driveways swept, barbecue grill ready to go, clean linens in the bedrooms and bathrooms, and if your home is winterized, you'll find the plumbing system up and online, with hot water ready to use. Your home will be prepared to your exact specifications - as if you had arrived a week prior, to get it ready yourself. When it's time to leave for the season, just leave everything the way it is and we'll take care of closing down your home and preparing it for the winter season. Or, perhaps you want to invite family or friends to stay at your home when you're not there - we'll have it ready for them as well. There is no detail that is too small for us to take care of.
