Question 1

What are recurring Home Watch checks?

Accepted Answer

Recurring Home Watch checks are scheduled visual visits for absentee and seasonal owners who want a local presence between their own visits. The cadence is agreed around the property, season, and time away, with clear notes and photo-backed follow-up after each visit.

Question 2

What does a recurring visit include?

Accepted Answer

A recurring visit includes agreed visual observations inside and outside the property, notes about visible changes or concerns, photos when useful, and follow-up communication. Bay & Border performs checks and documentation, not repairs, maintenance, or licensed trade work; the visit records what was observed so you can decide on next steps with an appropriately qualified provider.

Question 3

What can you check before a seasonal home is closed up?

Accepted Answer

An authorized pre-freeze preparation visit can review the agreed interior and exterior conditions, visible water or weather concerns, and the property notes that matter before the home is closed up. You receive photos and a written summary of what was observed. Bay & Border documents and coordinates the plan; repairs, maintenance, and specialized trade work remain with appropriately qualified providers.

Question 4

When should I request a winterization visit?

Accepted Answer

Request it before the first sustained freeze whenever possible. Timing depends on the property, the preparation requested, and the access plan, so sharing the location and preferred window early gives us the information needed to discuss a practical visit.

Question 5

Can you coordinate access for a contractor or vendor?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for a planned vendor visit with an agreed access plan. We can confirm the appointment details, help coordinate the property handoff, observe visible conditions during the visit, and keep the owner or authorized contact informed. The vendor remains responsible for the work it was scheduled to perform.

Question 6

What happens after the appointment?

Accepted Answer

After the appointment, we share the agreed closeout: observations, photos when useful, notes about access or visible changes, and any follow-up that should be discussed. The provider remains responsible for its work. Bay & Border coordinates access and documentation without performing repairs, maintenance, or licensed trade work.

Question 7

Do you perform repairs, maintenance, or licensed trade work?

Accepted Answer

No. Bay & Border Property Services provides scheduled home-watch and property checks, documents visit findings, and coordinates planned access for contractors or other qualified providers. We do not perform repairs, maintenance, or licensed trade work. Specialized work is handled by appropriately qualified providers, and Bay & Border does not provide emergency response.

Question 8

Where do you provide Home Watch?

Accepted Answer

Bay & Border Property Services currently serves Marinette, Wisconsin and Menominee, Michigan as its core service area. Green Bay and Pulaski, Wisconsin are extended service areas available by quote, reviewed per property, access plan, and route. These areas are the starting point for recurring checks, seasonal preparation, and planned property access.

Question 9

Can you quote a property outside Marinette or Menominee?

Accepted Answer

Nearby and extended addresses can be reviewed by property, access plan, and drive time before coverage is promised. Include the property location and the service you are considering in a quote request so the practical fit can be discussed.

Question 10

How do I request a quote?

Accepted Answer

Use the contact form and share the property location, property type, requested service, timing or access notes, and your preferred contact method. Those details help us understand whether you are looking for recurring checks, seasonal preparation, contractor access, or another property visit.

Question 11

What should I include in my first message?

Accepted Answer

Include the city and property type, how often you want the property checked, any seasonal timing, planned vendor access, and the best way to reach you. Request a quote at /contact, where the inquiry form collects the details needed to talk through the right starting point.
