Why HomeWatch of Westfield
Experience That Actually Protects Your Home
HomeWatch of Westfield isn’t a casual “house check” service. It’s a professional, security-focused home watch operation led by a retired New Jersey State Trooper with the training to notice what others miss. Being a 30-year resident of Westfield matters too, it means understanding the neighborhoods, the patterns, and the subtle signs that something is off. That local knowledge, combined with homeland security and personal protection training, creates a level of detail and awareness you won’t get from a generic home service. Every visit is done with intention: detect issues early, protect the home’s integrity, minimize risk, and keep your property from becoming a target.

Home Watch Inspections
Scheduled interior and exterior checks at daily, weekly, or bi-weekly intervals. We verify system status, document concerns, and ensure your property remains safe and insurance-compliant.
Burglary Deterrence
A security-focused approach that identifies and remediates conditions that attract burglars and squatters. Lighting assessments, access point checks, exterior presentation, and situational awareness.
Concierge Services
Mail and package pickup, forwarding, contractor access, job verification, liaison support, and other tailored services that keep your home functioning smoothly while you’re gone.
Keyholder Services
Secure key storage with controlled access for emergencies, service providers, and scheduled visits. Logged, secure, and handled with complete discretion.
Unwatched Homes Become Expensive Homes
A leaking pipe, a failing HVAC unit, a tripped breaker, or a broken window can turn into thousands of dollars in damage if no one checks the property. Insurance companies also require regular inspections for unoccupied homes - without them, claims can be denied. Your home needs consistent, professional oversight. That’s what prevents surprises and protects your investment.

BURGLARY DETERRENCE
Security-Minded Protection Rooted in Real Training
Unoccupied homes attract attention. Most burglaries happen because a house gives off the wrong signals uncollected mail, inconsistent lighting, signs of disuse. We look for those red flags and correct them.
Burglary Deterrence is more than checking doors. It’s identifying vulnerabilities, spotting patterns, and ensuring your home never looks like an easy entry point. This approach comes directly from decades of law enforcement work and threat assessment experience.
Your home should never advertise that you’re away.
The Process
Consultation & Property Review
We start by talking through your home, your concerns, and how often you want inspections. This includes reviewing access points, alarm details, known issues, and any areas you want checked every visit.
Routine Home Watch Visits
On each visit, we perform a full interior and exterior inspection based on your plan. We look for leaks, system failures, exterior changes, signs of intrusion, and anything else that needs attention.
Secure Access Setup
We set up keyholder arrangements, alarm codes, gate instructions, and emergency contacts. Everything is stored securely and used only during scheduled visits or approved situations.
Detailed Report After Every Visit
Once the inspection is complete, you get a clear update with notes, photos, and a rundown of anything that needs monitoring or fixing. If everything is normal, you’ll know that too.
Follow-Up & Coordination
If we find a problem, we coordinate next steps with your preferred contractors or handle it according to your instructions. You stay informed and in control without having to be home.
Who We Serve
We support homeowners who need a reliable, trained professional keeping an eye on their property while they’re away - whether it’s for a week, a season, or year-round.
Seasonal Residents
For homeowners who live elsewhere part of the year and need consistent oversight during their time away.
Frequent Travelers
Ideal for people who spend long stretches out of town for work, family, or extended vacations.
Vacation & Second Homes
Perfect for properties that sit empty between visits and need regular checks to stay safe and maintained.
Un-occupied or Estate-Managed
For homes waiting to be sold, under renovation, or managed on behalf of a family member, trustee, or attorney.
Important Message:
Unattended homes become targets fast. Regular, professional inspections are the most effective way to prevent costly damage and security risks.
