Home Watch / Property Services

Here for your home
on your schedule.

UPHW offers weekly or bi-weekly home checks

Unlike most Home Watch companies that tend to cover large geographical areas, UPHW exclusively serves the community they call home, University Park. In the rare event of an emergency, this relatively small area allows us to be at any of our client’s homes usually within 15 minutes. University Park Home Watch & Concierge customizes the care each home receives based on the owner’s specific preferences and concerns.

We tailor each visit to your individual needs, always including a thorough check the interior and exterior of your property.
