Home Watch

We Put Our Prices on the Page. Most Home Watch Companies Will Not.

Aleka DeGraaf · November 12, 2026

We put our prices on the page, because you should know what it costs before you pick up the phone. Most home watch companies will not tell you a number until you call, and some will not tell you even then. We think that is backwards. You are hiring someone to look after one of your biggest assets. You deserve to know the price before the conversation starts.

So here are the numbers, all of them, in plain language.

The two visit plans

Shield is two visits a month. For homes up to 2,500 square feet, it is $175 a month. For mid-size homes, $220 a month. For large and estate homes, $270 a month.

Sentinel is weekly visits, four a month. For homes up to 2,500 square feet, it is $300 a month. For mid-size homes, $340 a month. For large and estate homes, $440 a month.

Every visit covers the same ground, whichever plan you choose. A full visual inspection of the interior for water stains, mold, leaks, or pest activity. Running the faucets, flushing the toilets, operating the garbage disposal. Checking the HVAC and thermostat. Starting your vehicles when you ask us to. A full exterior perimeter check for storm damage, vandalism, or unauthorized entry. And after every visit, a detailed electronic report with photos and GPS and time stamping, sent straight to you.

One-time setup is $200, and it covers your onboarding walkthrough, your property profile, access setup, baseline photos, and your report setup. You pay it once, when we start.

Dream Weaver: just the hours you need

Not everyone needs a monthly plan. Some owners just need a few hours of help, and that is exactly what Dream Weaver Concierge is for. It is our pay-as-you-go option, and it starts at $75 an hour.

Need someone to meet a vendor at the house? That is $75 an hour, with a one-hour minimum, billed in 15-minute increments after that. Need someone to wait for a delivery, or to coordinate a small project while you are out of town? Same rate, $75 an hour.

Here is the full list. Standard hourly work is $75 an hour. Emergency and after-hours calls carry a $95 trip fee plus the hourly rate. Keyholder service is $75 per incident. Waiting service and project coordination are $75 an hour. Mail forwarding is $25 per mailout plus postage. Pantry and fridge restocking is $50 plus the cost of the groceries. An air filter change is $25 plus the cost of the filters. Hurricane prep is $75 an hour, with a two-hour minimum.

Dream Weaver is the answer for the owner who does not need a plan, just a few hours of professional help, done right, by people who know the house and the area. No monthly commitment, no setup fee, just the hours you use.

Why the price is on the page

We publish our prices because we are confident in what we do, and because we respect your time. You should be able to look at the plans, look at the size of your home, and know what it costs before you ever call us. If the number works, call us. If it does not, you have not wasted an afternoon on a sales call to find out.

That is also why we built a full watch product on top of our rental property management company. We manage hundreds of homes, we have the staff and the vendors, and we can afford to be straight with you about the price. A watch-only company has to sell you on the call, because the call is all they have. We have the work behind us, so we can let the numbers speak.

Request a walkthrough, email homewatch@4thdps.com, or call (336) 223-5337 to set up your onboarding walkthrough.
