Whether you are on vacation from your primary residence, own a second home, are snowbirds, are business travelers or have a rental property, peace of mind is paramount while you are away. Customized to fit your needs, one local service, Rocky Mountain Home Watch specializes in conducting regular visual inspections to ensure that your home is just like you left it.
“Our inspections include a visual check of the entire property including landscaping, outbuildings, vehicles and the exterior of the home from top to bottom,” notes Debbie Glass, who co-operates the company with her husband, Mike Glass. The interior inspection includes adjusting thermostat, checking appliances, furnace, water heater, running water in sinks, flushing toilets, looking for leaks, smells, moisture issues, small invaders (bugs or rodents), removing mailers, packages and making sure every window and door is secured.
“We also water plants, change timers on lights and show a presence in your home,” Glass adds. “We use an app with a GPS locator, so you know exactly when we were at your home. This comprehensive report covers 35+ tasks with pictures and is emailed to you from your driveway!”
The company also offers home management, concierge, rental assistance, realtor support and key-holder services.
According to Glass, the most popular offering is Rocky Mountain’s “Aging at Home” program, designed to help seniors with tasks that create risk and become harder with age.
“We can assist with changing light bulbs, furnace filters, adding water softener salt, carrying heavy boxes, decorating for holidays, general maintenance and yard care, etc.,” Glass says. “We are an advocate for seniors and have insurance to drive them to doctor's appointments and errands.”
Rocky Mountain Home Watch is a family-owned business. Mike and Debbie have lived in Idaho Falls for nearly 30 years and pride themselves on top-quality service and integrity. The company’s service area is Pocatello to Idaho Falls, north to Island Park, Swan Valley and Alpine to Jackson Hole.
