What On Earth Is A Home Watch?

Home Watch is the visual inspection of a Home or property, looking for obvious issues.

Crown Home Watch is proud to have earned accreditation from the National Home Watch Association (NHWA). They enthusiastically endorse the NHWA code of ethics and mission statement and actively participate in their local chapter. They are fully bonded and insured and have passed a criminal background check conducted by NHWA so that their clients can feel completely comfortable when Crown Home Watch enters their home.

Crown Home Watch goal is to provide you with risk mitigation in the event of an unforeseen issue before it becomes a catastrophe and provide you with peace of mind when you are not home. If caught in time, small problems can be mitigated before spiraling out of control, costing you thousands of dollars.

Crown Home Watch offers weekly and twice a month home watch visits. We tailor each visit to your individual needs. We thoroughly check the interior and exterior of your property, paying close attention to:

security of every door and window
landscaping and irrigation issues
interior temperatures and humidity levels
wet areas, checking for any leaks and mold
pest and insect intrusion
electric and circuit breaker issues
ensuring main water valve is turned off

Filters

Vandalism/Burglary

Storm Damage

Mold

Landscape Problems

Temperature/Humidity

Leaks/Water Stains

Every visit is followed up with a fully detailed report that is date and time stamped for your records and e-mailed directly to your address. Please review our Services Page for a complete list of services.

Crown Home Watch main service area is from Interstate 75 in the West to Bourneside Blvd in the East, and from Hwy 64 in the North to Fruitville Road to the South. However, we do have clients on Anna Maria Island, as far south as Venice and as far North as St Petersburg. So, if you are anywhere in that geographical area please don’t hesitate to contact us.

While Lakewood Ranch covers only 48 square miles, Crown Home Watch offers its services to well over 30 different Villages that make up this unique and vibrant community. We have no desire to be the largest Home Watch company in Florida. We believe that a more focused approach in a specific geographical area gives us a distinct edge. In the rare event of an emergency, this relatively small area allows us to be at any of our client’s homes usually within thirty minutes.

In addition, Crown Home Watch offers a variety of Concierge Services and a Senior Assist program. Senior Assist Services enables us to secure and maintain a senior’s home in the unfortunate event that they are hospitalized for an extended period of time and then conduct regular Home Watch services on the property until they are able to return home.

By scrolling through our website, you will be enlightened about exactly what Crown Home Watch does and how to distinguish between a legitimate Home Watch company and others that lack our expertise. We offer you integrity, trust, confidentiality, and commitment.

We truly want to earn your trust. We will not only be asking you to provide us with the keys to your home with unfettered access, but also your security alarm codes and personal information.

We know this is a big ask. All of our clients have at some point, been in your shoes. Please review the sample of references below.

After you have had a chance to learn more about Crown Home Watch, we look forward to meeting personally with you in your home. At that meeting our aim is to give you the one thing that is priceless that we all need when we leave our home for an extended period of time…peace of mind.

What Our Clients Have To Say

Crown Home watch is THE BEST home watch company. My home was one of so many that flooded and they showed so much compassion and were so good to help me with assembling fans and a dehumidifier to help with the air circulation after the flooding. I couldn’t ask for a better more caring couple. Thank you Pete and Taryn I am so grateful.

Merry R.

Recently had the pleasure of meeting Pete and Taryn after they called M.A.S.T. Inspections in to assess a potential microbial growth problem they had discovered while servicing one of their clients.

I found them to be courteous, professional and attentive to detail.

Having observed their work ethic and care for their clients well-being, I would definitely recommend their Home Watch services.

Mark S.

Crown Home Watch has done a fantastic job of watching over my home in Arbor Grande since 2019. Pete has taken care of numerous small issues over the years for me, always going above and beyond.
Last year I was hospitalized and their Senior Assist Service was exceptional! They took care of my home while I was in the hospital. They stocked my refrigerator with everything I needed just before my return. Their weekly visits made sure my home was exactly as I had left it, a huge boost to my spirits.
You could not pick a better Home Watch company in Lakewood Ranch.

Arbor Grande, Lakewood Ranch

On a recent vacation to California we had Crown Home Watch keep an eye on our property. When we arrived in California we suddenly realized that we may have left our refrigerator door open! Pete checked on it the same day, it was closed! What a relief! More importantly he discovered that our rear sliding door was unlocked! Which he secured.
What a great service! We couldn’t be happier with the care shown to our property and highly recommend Crown Home Watch to anyone in the Lakewood Ranch community.

Thank you for taking care of our homes as though they were your own. Your communication and responsiveness while we’ve been away is so appreciated. You kept us in the loop and gave us peace of mind.

You saved us a lot of hassle by coordinating maintenance and repairs.

We feel incredibly luck to have you keeping an eye on everything.

Wonderful people and amazing service! Their bimonthly home watch service has put our snowbird minds at ease! They have also helped my parents thru medical crisis needs and now navigating selling their home from afar. They have a keen eye for detail and a high level of customer service. Highly recommend!

Andrea F.

Pete and Taryn have been fantastic to work with! Having recently built a home in South Florida, we did not expect any issues but wanted the peace of mind that came with having someone check on our place.

Much to our surprise, their first visit did find a couple of minor items that needed taking care of, which without their visit would have gone weeks without action and may have likely become bigger issues. Their inspections and the peace of mind it brings are top notch. And I’d encourage anyone considering to use Crown Home Watch.

Shawn S.

My wife and I have known Pete and Taryn Wells for over thirty years. We have had the good fortune of being their neighbors on three separate occasions, twice in California and now here in Florida.
They are both individuals of the highest moral and ethical standards. We trust them implicitly and would recommend their services to anyone. They are currently key holders for our home here in Del Webb, Lakewood Ranch.

Pete and Taryn have been great to work with. Detailed inspections and timely reports. I highly recommend Crown Home Watch!

Scott B.

We live in Rochester, New York. We own a winter home in Lakewood Ranch Florida. Since 2018 Pete and Taryn have watched over our home when we are absent. They have been diligent in catching problems before they become major catastrophes. They sent us regular updates on our property immediately after Hurricane Ian.
We would highly recommend Crown Home Watch to anyone who is seeking peace of mind when they vacate their homes for extended periods of time.

Lynda and Sid C

Country Club East

Pete Wells kept watch over our home while we were recently absent. He collected our mail, watered our plants and topped off our pool for us when the level fell too low. He also discovered that our front door had been left unlocked by a visiting family member!
We would highly recommend his services to anyone who leaves their home for any period of time.

In many ways the abundance of services provided to us by Crown Home Watch have been a life saver. We purchased our new home in December and knew we weren’t ready to make the move there for a while. It was going to be many months before we would be able to. We needed someone to look after our home and Pete and Taryn have gone above and beyond to provide those many services that we never knew had existed. We met with Pete and Taryn on our first visit to our new home. They explained their services to us as well as the many concierge services that they could provide. These concierge services have been the life saver! We needed work to be done in our new home including, electrical, screening in the lanai, new flooring, as well as accepting deliveries, overseeing repairs and the list is still growing. Pete helped us set up appointments with various contractors and was there to oversee that the work was done correctly. Pete and Taryn also installed security cameras that we had bought. On our most recent trip to our new house Pete and Taryn picked us up at the airport and returned us there when we left. They also picked up groceries so that we would have something in the refrigerator when we arrived. The list goes on and on and the services they provide are invaluable.
