Season transitions

Property Preparation

Seasonal openings and closings, hurricane prep, and everything in between — handled start to finish.

Opening a Florida home for the season — and closing it down again in spring — is a checklist of two dozen small tasks, each one a way for something to go wrong while you're gone. We do the whole list, in order, and document it.

A proper closing puts the house to bed: water off at the main, water heater powered down, AC set for vacancy, refrigerator emptied, hurricane panels up. A proper opening wakes it up gently: systems tested, humidity verified, everything run before you arrive.

Open, close, and batten down

Seasonal closing

Water main off, water heater powered down, appliances emptied, and HVAC set for a vacant home.

Seasonal opening

Systems restarted and tested, humidity checked, ice-maker and appliances run, house aired out before you arrive.

Hurricane prep

Shutters and panels installed, outdoor items secured, and a pre-storm photo record of your home's condition.

Storm recovery reset

Panels stored, debris cleared, and systems checked after an event so the house is settled again.

Mid-stay services

Deep cleans, maintenance appointments, and inspections scheduled around your visits.

Long-absence care

For owners away a year or more, a full dormant-home program with a standing visit schedule.

How it works

Booking

Opening and closing visits are booked around your travel dates — we work from your flight, not a guess.

Checklists

Every task is checked off against a written list, and the completed list goes in your report.

Documentation

Meter readings, thermostat settings, and panel condition photographed at every transition.

Timing

Book closings 1–2 weeks ahead of departure; openings at least a week before arrival.

Arrive to a ready house. Leave a sealed one.

Tell us your dates — we'll handle both ends of the season.
