Home Watch in Sawyer, MI

Home Watch for Sawyer cottages. A photo report every visit, with freeze, leak, and storm checks while you're away.

Why Sawyer homes need Home Watch

Cottages along this stretch sit quiet after the season. Heat, water, and the weather are what I look at.

What every visit covers

  • Exterior walk: roof line, gutters, siding, decks, doors, windows, screens
  • Entry points locked and secure; no signs of entry
  • Interior: leaks, stains, moisture; under sinks, toilets, water heater, supply lines
  • Heat & thermostat verified; sump pump and basement/crawl checked
  • Fridge/freezer running; breakers checked; pests or animals
  • Mail, packages, and flyers cleared so the place looks lived in
  • Same-day photo report by text or email after every visit

Services Included

  • Seasonal Open-Up & Close-Up
  • After-Storm Checks
  • Contractor & delivery meet-ups
  • Pre-arrival prep before you or your guests arrive

Storm, freeze & leak checks

Lake wind and hard freezes are the usual problems. I check the house after a blow or an outage and send photos the same day.

What clients say

The cottage is closed most of the year. Brett's photo report is how we know it's fine.
