Contractor's eye

We spot structural, water, and weather issues others miss.

Photo proof

Every visit includes a timestamped photo set.

Insurance ready

Many policies require regular checks — we help you stay compliant.

Why contractor-owned matters

Most property watch companies send someone to look.We send someone who knows what they're looking at.

Property Watch Co. is owned and operated by a licensed contractor with 30+ years in the building trades. That means every visit is done with the same trained eye that builds and renovates homes — not a clipboard and a quick glance.

Trained eye

We catch early signs of water damage, foundation shifts, ice damage, and structural wear that untrained eyes walk right past.

Trade network

If something needs fixing, we already know the right plumber, electrician, or roofer — and can coordinate the repair for you.

Accountability

No call centre, no franchise. You deal directly with the owner. One person responsible, start to finish.

30+ years experience

Three decades of building, renovating, and maintaining properties in the Kawartha Lakes region. We know these homes inside and out.

What we do

Property Watch Co. is built for owners who can't be there all the time — but still want a professional set of eyes on the ground. Not just someone who checks boxes, but someone who knows buildings.

Scheduled property checks

Weekly, bi-weekly, or custom schedules. We walk the exterior, check entry points, and look for anything out of place — with a contractor's trained eye.

Photo updates

A clear set of photos each visit so you can see exactly what we saw — no guessing.

Issue escalation

If we spot a concern (damage, leaks, break-ins, storm impact), you'll hear from us right away — along with our professional assessment of severity.

Permanent residence checks

Heading south for the winter or away on vacation? We'll keep an eye on your home while you're gone — many insurance policies require it.

Repair coordination

Because we're contractors, we can assess the issue, give you an honest opinion on urgency, and coordinate trusted trades to get it fixed — fast.

Insurance compliance

Did you know? Many home insurance policies require regular property checks when you're away for extended periods. Without documented visits, a claim could be denied. Our reports and timestamped photos help you stay compliant and protected.

How it works

Simple, consistent, and documented. You'll always know what's happening at your property.

Step 1

Tell us about your property

Location, access notes, and what you want us to keep an eye on (water, doors, storm damage, etc.).

Step 2

Choose a schedule

Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or a custom plan based on your season and risk level.

Step 3

We do the checks

We walk the exterior and key areas, document what we see, and flag anything unusual.

Step 4

You get updates

A simple report with photos after each visit. If there's an issue, we contact you right away.

What's included in a typical visit

Exterior walk-around (doors, windows, visible damage)
Look for signs of entry, vandalism, or wildlife activity
Check obvious water issues (standing water, leaks, ice damage)
Photo set + short notes you can skim quickly
Immediate call/text/email if something needs attention

Want us to watch something specific (a dock, a shed, a pump, a basement window)? Add it to your checklist — we'll tailor the visits.
