What is our Home Maintenance Program?
Just as your vehicle needs preventative maintenance to run efficiently and to help avoid the stress and cost of major issues, so does your new or existing home. Think of these as “health check-ups” as we will address items that need attention monthly, semi-annually and annually, that are not covered by a warranty but necessary to keep your home running properly.
Contact us for your free assessment. We will come to your home and review all the items you want maintained and / or require maintenance. You pick and choose which items and the frequency.
It’s not an all-or-nothing approach. Your personal SandStar Home Maintenance Plan will be tailored to suit YOUR needs. Call (941) 637-8080 or fill out the contact form below.

What is the SandStar Home Watch+ Program?
Our expert handyman will perform scheduled inspections of your property while you are away. These inspections include a basic check of plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, the overall condition of the home and property, and any obvious issues like leaks, pests, and mold.
But we’re more than a regular home watch service. Here’s how:
- In addition to the inspection, our handyman will perform any routine home maintenance tasks you would like completed to keep your home in tip-top shape.
- The frequency of the inspections can be fully customized to suit your needs, whether bi-monthly, monthly, quarterly, etc.
- Instead of being only informed of any issues found during the inspection and left to take the appropriate actions or find additional help, if it can be repaired/replaced by our handyman, it will be taken care of.
Why Is Regular Maintenance Important?
- Preserves your home’s value.
- Ensures safety & improves comfort.
- Prevents costly repairs by identifying and fixing minor issues early on.
- Saves you money and protects your investment in the long run.
