PALMETTO LEDGER

Home watch / membership

Home watch and membership for Ponte Vedra Beach and surrounding areas.

Palmetto Home Care Membership is a scheduled maintenance visit program for Northeast Florida homes. Home-watch visits are a separate add-on.

This program puts your remodeling contractor back in the house on a set schedule to look at finishes and do light preventive upkeep during each visit. Anything beyond that is quoted and contracted separately at member pricing.

Between remodels — not instead of them. Renovation stays the core of the company.

What members get

Stay on the calendar with the same local CRC.

01

Scheduled visits

2 or 4 scheduled visual walk-throughs a year, with a photo report of what we observed. Observations only, not a home inspection or a guarantee of condition.

02

Priority remodeling

Members get priority scheduling for new remodeling projects. Projects are quoted and contracted separately. The after-hours line, (904) 295-5222, is for scheduling and messages, not emergency repair.

03

Member pricing

Member discount of 10% / 12% / 15% on labor for separately quoted and contracted work. No $1,000 trip minimum.

On a typical visit

We visually check the finishes most affected by Florida humidity and salt air.

  • Caulk, grout & wet-area finishes
  • Paint, trim & hardware
  • Doors, windows & weatherseal
  • Gutters, exterior & deck
  • A short punch list of what to fix now vs. hold for the next remodel. Recommended work is quoted separately.

Built for Northeast Florida homes

Humidity, salt air, and storm season.

Checklist written for Ponte Vedra, St. Augustine, and St. Johns County homes.

Work beyond the per-visit handyman time is quoted and contracted separately at member pricing. New permitted construction, HVAC repair, electrical panel work, pest treatment, and pool service are not part of the membership.

Optional

What the membership is, and is not

Your membership includes scheduled maintenance and visual walk-through visits, a set amount of handyman time per visit for minor preventive upkeep, a photo visit report, and a member discount on labor for work you separately approve. The Membership is not a home warranty, service warranty, insurance policy, or service contract. Palmetto Ledger Co. LLC does not promise to repair, replace, or pay for the repair or replacement of any structural component, system, or appliance of your home (including roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, foundation, walls, ceilings, floors, water heater, or appliances) because of failure, defect, wear and tear, power surge, accident, storm, or any condition a visit did or did not identify. Visit reports are observations made on the date of the visit and are not a home inspection, mold assessment, pest inspection, engineering evaluation, or guarantee of condition. Any repair, replacement, or project is performed only under a separate written proposal and contract that you sign, at the member price in effect at that time. Handyman time is used at our technician's discretion for minor upkeep, does not carry over between visits, and has no cash value.

3-month minimum, then month-to-month. Cancel early and you pay the lesser of your remaining minimum months or $175 per visit received.
