You get a report like this after every visit. Not a text that says “looks fine.”
Kaneohe · Kailua · East Oahu · island-wide by arrangement
Your house was checked.
Here is the proof.
Scheduled interior and exterior visits while you are off-island. Same-day report with photos, time, and GPS — written so a spouse, trustee, or insurer can read it without calling you.
- Retired law-enforcement standard
- Photo + GPS on every visit
- Named-storm add-on
Who this is for
Mainland owners, military families, snowbirds, small landlords, and anyone who needs a paper trail — not a neighbor with a key.
Who does the visit
Retired officer network on Oahu. Same checklist every time. You know who walked the house.
What you keep
A dated file of reports. Useful for insurance, family, and a trustee if the house sits in a trust.
Process
Four steps. No app to learn.
We meet at the house once. Keys, alarm, shutoffs, vendors, what “normal” looks like for your place.
Weekly or every other week. You say who gets the report: you, a spouse, a property contact, a trustee.
Interior and exterior check on the schedule. Photos of the items that matter. Issues flagged the same day.
Report lands in your inbox. Open items stay open until they are closed. Storm watch is a separate, named add-on.
The check
What we look at, every visit
Built for Oahu houses — salt air, termites, single-wall construction, lanai furniture that becomes a projectile in a watch, and systems that fail quietly while you are on the mainland.
- Forced entry, doors, windows, garage, gates
- Water meter / visible leaks / under-sink and water heater
- Power, HVAC or window units, dehumidifier, fridge
- Toilets flushed, traps run so they do not dry out
- Smoke / CO if present; alarm panel status if you authorize it
- Lanai, yard, standing water, obvious pest or roof issues
- Pool / spa surface and equipment if you have them
- Mail and packages (oversize billed separately)
- Photos of each zone + GPS stamp on the report
Rates · month to month
Pay for visits, not software.

Hurricane season
Storm protocol is a product, not a promise.
Watch issued
We open storm mode on every active property. You get a prep list: lanai cleared, furniture in, shutoffs, generator, plywood status if you own panels.
Before the wind
Optional extra visit. Photos of the house as we left it. That file is what an insurer or family member wants later.
After the weather
We return when roads are safe. Damage log with photos. We do not file your claim. We give you the record.
Who is walking the house
Retired police. Same checklist. No drive-by.
Windward Home Watch is built by a retired Oahu officer. Visits are done to a written standard, not a friendly look from the street. If another retired officer is added to the route, you will know the name before they get a key.
This is home watch — scheduled checks and documented conditions. It is not property management, not a licensed alarm company, and not a substitute for insurance.
Questions
Short answers
Do I have to sign a year?
No. Month to month after the first month. Give seven days to stop visits.
Do you need keys?
Interior checks need keys or a lockbox. Exterior-only is possible; it is a weaker product and we will say so.
What if something is wrong?
You get a call or text the same day, then the written report. We can meet a plumber or electrician at your rate. We do not authorize major work without you unless you put that in writing in advance.
Can a trustee or sibling get the reports?
Yes. Name them. That is a common setup for off-island families and houses held in trust.
Are you a property manager?
No. We do not collect rent, list the house, or run a vacation rental. We watch the asset and write down what we saw.
Insurance?
We carry liability for the service. You keep your homeowners and hurricane coverage. Reports are documentation, not a policy.

Tell us the neighborhood, how often you leave the island, and whether you need interior access. We will answer with a yes, a no, or a quote — not a drip campaign.
