Local home watch and property care for Mayne Island homeowners.

Scheduled property checks, photo reports, storm checks, keyholder support, contractor access, and arrival/departure prep for part-time and off-island owners.

Mayne Island homes face a particular mix of risks: winter windstorms, power outages, damp coastal conditions, falling branches, ferry-dependent access, and limited short-notice availability from off-island service providers.

Mayne HomeWatch gives homeowners a reliable local presence when they are away. We check the property, document what we see, report clearly, and help coordinate practical next steps when something needs attention.

A simple, documented process

  1. We document the property

    We record access instructions, emergency contacts, utility locations, owner preferences, and any special instructions.

  2. You choose a check schedule

    Choose bi-weekly, weekly, seasonal, or custom checks depending on your needs and expected absence.

  3. We check and photograph key items

    Each visit follows a repeatable checklist and includes relevant photos.

  4. You receive a clear report

    You receive a practical update showing what was checked, what was found, and whether anything needs attention.

Designed to support responsible home ownership while you are away

Many home insurance policies include conditions for homes that are unoccupied or vacant. Requirements can vary by insurer and policy. Mayne HomeWatch provides documented visits and photo reports that may help support your records, but homeowners should confirm their specific obligations with their broker or insurer.

Local, practical, and documented
