Property Maintenance

Protect Your Investment with Professional Property Maintenance

If home ownership is the cornerstone of the American Dream, then owning two homes would have to be the capstone. Like most luxury items, second homes are rarely used on a regular basis. In fact, many of them are empty for most of the year. A goodly portion of the properties in Sarasota, Siesta Key, Bird Key, Harbor Acres, The Oaks and Osprey are second homes that are only occupied for a few months, even weeks each year.

Because their owners often live thousands of miles away, it is impossible for them to perform regular property maintenance. Routine tasks like mowing the lawn, testing the sprinkler system, checking the security and functionality of windows and doors obviously cannot be completed remotely, which can cause a myriad of problems.

When these routine tasks are neglected, your property is far more likely to fall into a state of disrepair, or even to be burglarized when you are away. The dedicated and experienced team of property managers at Suncoast Home Concierge Services can help ensure that nothing bad will happen to your abode during the off-season.

Our Property Management Services

As a full-service home concierge company, we can handle it all—from home security checks to personal errands, housekeeping and emergencies services. We take pride in the fact that we are fully bonded, sole source property maintenance firm. And our clients appreciate it as well. That is why they trust us to open and close their homes for them before they arrive and after they depart.

Preparation Procedures

Opening a home after a lengthy absence typically requires turning on the water, the water heater, all major appliances, adjusting the A/C and heating systems, housekeeping, removing and cleaning deck or patio furniture, flushing the toilets, and running the water. Our property managers also provide additional services, including shopping for groceries, running errands, mail and even airport pickup.

When closing your home after you depart for an extended period of time, our property management team will make certain your heating and cooling systems are on the proper setting and that the main water is turned off. They will also unplug all major appliances and test the smoke and C02 detectors.

Regular Maintenance

Professional groundskeepers can be sent to your address to mow your lawn, water your plants and flowers, and trim your hedges, as often as needed. We can even hire experienced pool service professionals to check the system, balance the chemicals in the water, clean the pool and keep the entire outdoor enclosure in tiptop shape.

Property Checks

Even in safe areas like Sarasota, Siesta Key, Bird Key, Harbor Acres and The Oaks break-ins and burglaries occasionally occur. For obvious reasons, criminals are far more likely to target your abode if you leave it unoccupied for weeks and months at a time. And if they do gain entry to your vacant home, they can make off with whatever strikes their fancy.

The security professionals that run our home watch and auto watch programs can help keep burglars and would-be criminals at bay. Not only will they personally drive by your home and inspect your property, they will also check all security lights and even your alarm system to make sure it is secure.
