Home Maintenance Consulting Overview

Proper House Care™ is an affordable home maintenance consulting service that helps homeowners navigate the confusing and hazard-strewn waters of home maintenance.

Make Proper House Care your 1st Call in helping you with your home. We serve as your independent advocates in the home inspection, repair and improvement marketplace to make sure your house care dollars are spent efficiently and effectively. The result is a home which realizes its full value while saving you time, money and anxiety on the way.

We accomplish this through our four core services as follows:

Home Evaluation

A prioritized home inspection report of your house along with a custom action plan

We examine all the nooks and crannies of your home inside and out including all the major systems; structural, roof, electrical, plumbing etc. as well as life/safety items. From this we produce a comprehensive home inspection report of our findings which includes a prioritized list of issues and market-rate cost estimates.

We personally deliver and explain our findings to make sure the homeowner understands and together we prepare an action plan.  We can even help identify capable contractors

Project Specification

The proper how−to of a home project tailored to the homeowner’s needs not the contractors

Project Specifications simply stated are a series of documents; drawings and/or written specifications as needed to describe a “proper” repair or improvement. They are tailored to the homeowner’s needs and may be used to secure competitive bids or direct a contractor as his “Scope of Work”.

Whether a repair is competitively bid or a negotiated price the project specs keep your home repair dollars working effectively for you.

Contractor Supervision

Assuring the contractors work is being done according to specification with no corners cut.

We speak contractor. We have for 30 years. We make sure the contractor stays on budget, and on schedule and that you are getting what you paid for.  Plain and simple.  No corners cut. No excuses. No surprises.

Property Management

A customized home maintenance game plan - attic to cellar, inside and outside care while you’re home or away.

We offer event-based management as well as on-going, day-to-day care for your primary residence, a vacation property or an investment property.  Whether you are too busy or uncomfortable or would simply prefer to spend your time elsewhere.  We provide the breathe-easy factor at surprisingly affordable rates.
