MDE HOUSE WATCHING SERVICE

(Licensed and insured)

For a very reasonable fee Maddog Enterprises LLC will take care of your house while you are away for the summer.  You customize the service.  Tell me what you want done.  Typically, folks ask for things like:

• Do a walk through of the house, making sure everything is in order, the AC/Humidistat is working, nothing is leaking, bugs and critters haven't invaded the house.
• Insure that all windows and doors are locked.
• Take in mail, packages, phone books, etc., that get delivered, and forward important things to you.  if you authorize me, I'll open any mail, determine if it is important, scan it and send as an email attachment the same day.
• Walk the grounds, looking for any potential problems.
• Provide special care to favorite plants, beyond what the yard service does.
• Insure that the sprinkler system is working properly.  Check for broken heads.  Adjust duration and frequency of watering according to the weather.  I maintain a record of all your settings, and verify them each week.  If some well meaning person fiddles with your system you could end up with a huge water bill!
• Insure that the pool service and lawn service are doing their jobs.  Some service folks get a little lax in providing service in a timely manner when they know you are not home.
• Take the car for a ride every couple weeks.  Cars left in the garage for months often have problems and don't start when the owners return.  I also provide 'battery maintainers' that will keep your car battery at 100%.
• Test and reset alarm systems.
• Monitor condition of seawall and French Drain.
• Run dishwasher and garbage disposal periodically to insure they don't get stuck
• Once a month run water in all the sinks to fill the traps.  This prevents sewer gas from backing up into the house.
• Spray roundup on any troublesome weeds in the your driveway or on your lanai.  The yard service should do this, but they seldom do.
• Need to ship something to Marco?  Just ship it to my house and I'll deliver it next time I'm over that way.
• Need to have someone do some work or deliver something, like furniture you have purchased?  I can let them in and lock up afterward.

There's no "surprise charges".  This is "one stop shopping" at its best!  Minor problems I'll just fix ( I'm a handyman with an engineering background, after all) .  For bigger things I'll bill you for parts and labor after we have agreed on terms.  For really big things I'll assist you in arranging service with the proper company, and then oversee the work.

My service is prorated by the week if you are not here a full month. 
             ((Monthly Fee x 12)/52  = weekly rate)
 Come and go as often as you like.  When I know you are arriving, I'll open up the house, turn on the Hot Water Heater, adjust the AC, and whatever else you need.

Each week I'll send you an email and let you know what's going on.  I'll attach digital photos as appropriate.
