Home watch · Coral Gables, FL
Older houses, mature trees, real exposure.
Coral Gables houses are beautiful and demanding: tile roofs, mature canopy, older plumbing and a garden that does not pause because you left for the summer.
Our visits cover the interior room by room, then the exterior: pool level and equipment, irrigation, exterior glass and doors, drainage and visible roofline. Overhanging limbs and blocked gutters get photographed before storm season, not after it.
We also meet the people who keep the property running — gardeners, pool service, cleaners, contractors — and document that the work happened.
What we watch for here
- Older plumbing
- Original supply lines and shut-offs in mid-century houses are the most common source of long-running leaks.
- Tree canopy
- Limbs over the roof and clogged gutters turn an ordinary storm into interior water damage.
- Pool and garden
- Pump failures and irrigation faults show up fast in a Gables summer and damage equipment quickly.
- Vendor supervision
- Multiple trades on one property is normal here. We are the person on site who confirms the work.

Questions from owners here
- Do you check the roof on an older Gables house?
- We photograph the visible roofline, gutters and overhanging limbs from ground level. We are not licensed roofers, so anything of concern goes to a licensed contractor with our photographs attached.
- Can you manage the gardener and pool service?
- Yes. We meet trades on site on your schedule, confirm the work was done and photograph it in your report.
