Frequently asked questions
What are your Home Watch service areas?
Desert Home Guardian Services is a licensed, insured, bonded Home Watch company serving phoenix, Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, Paradise Valley, and Rio Verde, Arizona.
What do you receive after a Home Watch visit?
After each visit, you receive a digital report with time-stamped, GPS-verified details, photos, and notes on what we found. If something needs attention, you get the details and our recommendation. If it is urgent, we call or text you right away. You can also share the report with your insurance provider if needed.
Why is Home Watch accreditation important?
Home Watch accreditation means we are licensed, bonded, insured, and vetted for professionalism. Our NHWA accreditation assures you that we meet high standards, giving you confidence and peace of mind.
How do I pay you?
Desert Home Guardian Services emails you an invoice the first of the month, with easy and secure online payment options included. You only pay for services rendered. If a homeowner comes back to their Arizona residence, and notifies us of their return, they are taken off of the schedule, and home watch services are paused.
We have a neighborhood watch program. Doesn’t that do the same thing?
No. A neighborhood watch program is passive and only observes general activity occurring on the outside of a home, while Home Watch provides detailed interior and exterior inspections with reports and photos. Desert Home Guardian Services delivers the proactive care and accountability that neighborhood watch cannot.
Is Desert Home Guardian Services a property management company?
No. Desert Home Guardian Services is not a property management company. We do not manage leasing, rent collection, or deal with tenants. Instead, we provide Home Watch Services—recurring on-site visits with visual inspections and detailed reports for absentee homeowners.
What’s the difference between a Home Watch Inspection and a Home Inspection?
A Home Inspection is a one-time, detailed review of a property, often during a sale, covering areas like plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC, foundation, roof, and attic. In contrast, a Home Watch Inspection happens weekly or biweekly, focusing on the interior and exterior of an unoccupied home to spot any obvious issues. We provide detailed reports with photos and discuss any problems with you to decide on the best course of action.
Do you provide Home Care Services?
No. Home Care Services provides a range of supportive care options for individuals who wish to receive medical or healthcare assistance in the comfort of their own home. We watch over a home, not the residents within it.
How do I sign up for Home Watch Services?
After the initial meeting and visit to the home, the homeowner completes and signs the Home Watch Service Level Agreement, which outlines pricing, terms, and conditions of service. Once agreement is signed, services may begin.
