Own a Home in the Dallas Area but Live Out of State?
Home Shield is a $249/month membership built for you: a scheduled two-hour maintenance visit every month from the same insured technician, and a written condition report with photos after every visit — so the house is watched over even when you're 1,800 miles away.
How do I maintain a Dallas-area home I don't live in?
Home Shield is a monthly home maintenance membership for people who own a home in the Dallas area but live somewhere else. An insured technician visits the home every month for a scheduled two-hour window, works the punch list, runs that month's seasonal checks, and sends you a written condition report with photos — ordinarily within two business days — so you know exactly what is happening at the house without being there. It costs $249 per month with no per-visit service fee, and you can cancel anytime.

The problem with owning a home you can't see
Most home maintenance depends on someone being there to notice things. A slow drain, a water stain creeping across a ceiling, a condensate line backing up in the attic — these are cheap fixes in week one and expensive repairs in month three. When you live out of state, or you're managing a parent's home from another city, nobody is there to notice.
So maintenance quietly depends on a parent spotting a problem, a tenant mentioning it, or a flight down to check. Home Shield replaces all of that with a schedule: the same insured technician, in the home every month, with a written record of what they found.
How it works when you're not there
A set monthly window
The same insured technician arrives on a scheduled two-hour window each month. Access is arranged once — lockbox, smart lock, or a local contact — and repeats automatically.
The punch list gets done
Sticking doors, running toilets, dead outlets, filters, detector batteries, caulk and grout — plus that month's seasonal checks for the North Texas climate.
You get the report
A written condition report with photos, ordinarily within two business days: what we found, what we fixed, and what we recommend next. Nothing beyond the visit happens without your written approval.
