Jersey Shore Home Watch & Preventative Maintenance Plans
The All-In Safeguard & Concierge Guardian Protection Plans
Your shore home deserves more than a handyman you call after something already broke. West’s Property Maintenance & More is a proactive property maintenance and management company — the same trusted, in-house team checking on your home twice a month, catching small problems before they turn into expensive ones. One point of contact. White-glove service. You never lift a finger.

Why proactive beats reactive
Most shore homeowners rely on one of three reactive systems — and they all share the same problem: no guarantee of quality, consistency, or who is actually walking into your home.
Unprofessional handymen
A strictly reactive service, usually called only after the damage is done. The cheap upfront rate comes with zero guarantee the fix is right the first time — so you often pay twice.
Home warranty companies
Rigid contracts written to find loopholes and exclusions right when a component breaks. And you never know who is coming — a different, unvetted contractor every time.
Shore membership plans
Expensive enrollment fees just to join a priority list. Then they outsource the work to outside subcontractors — a revolving door of strangers in your home.
One dedicated in-house team
The same trusted faces on every visit. We know your home’s footprint and your standard of care — and we prevent the breakdown instead of reacting to it.
How it works
Simple, proactive, and handled entirely by our team.
Twice-a-month walkthroughs
We physically check your home to catch issues early.
We handle the small stuff
Smart thermostats, filter changes, water-heater flushes, AC coil cleaning, and clearing condensate lines before they cause damage.
Licensed trades for big jobs
Major or license-required repairs go to our vetted master-trade network — billed directly, separate from your plan.
You relax
One point of contact, white-glove service, and a home looked after year-round.
Choose your protection level
Two ways to protect your home: simple eyes-on monitoring, or full all-inclusive coverage with pre-funded labor and materials. Pricing is seasonal — Standard months (9) include two visits per month; Summer months (3) include one.

Gold & Platinum: a built-in tax advantage
The permanent Smart Valve (and, on Platinum, the whole-house filtration) qualify as exempt capital improvements under New Jersey law. Signing Form ST-8 at onboarding waives sales tax on the install labor, adds the cost to your home’s permanent cost basis (which can lower your capital-gains tax when you sell), and may qualify you for homeowners-insurance premium discounts. It’s a selling point, not just paperwork.

Scope of service: To maintain the highest safety and insurance standards, our preventative plans focus on interior systems (including attics and crawl spaces) and ground-level exterior grounds and decks. We do not service, inspect, or climb onto roofs, and we do not perform exterior siding or window replacements.
What Service Credits & the Parts Bank cover
Service Credits
Pre-funded professional labor allocations, valued at $250 each. Funded once from your onboarding amount so your home starts protected — with no ongoing labor fees until your credit bank runs low.
The Parts Bank
Your pre-funded materials account. When a Service Credit covers labor, the materials come straight from your Parts Bank — so you never dig money out of your pocket to get a repair handled on the spot.
Because it’s white-glove, your credits aren’t just for breakdowns:
White-glove lifestyle
Hang new artwork or mirrors, assemble new furniture.
Minor home repairs
Drywall blemishes, window screen repairs.
Plumbing & mechanical
Worn faucet, leaking P-trap, clogged condensate line.
Smart upgrades & filters
Smart thermostat, hard-to-reach system filters.
Specialized add-ons
Tailor your plan with coastal-specific services. All add-ons are billed plus NJ sales tax.

More than a plan: remodeling & member savings
You don’t need a plan to hire us. West’s is a full-service contracting and property management company that handles large projects on demand — and plan members get preferred pricing on all of it.
Kitchen & bathroom remodeling
Layout redesigns, custom tile, high-end fixtures, complete interior renovations start to finish.

Winterization & freeze protection
On-demand heat-tape installs, insulation verification, and vulnerable-area checks. (We don’t blow out internal plumbing lines.)
Complete project management

Member benefit
Safeguard and Concierge Guardian clients unlock preferred member discounts and labor savings on large projects outside their plan — from a full master-bath remodel to a new composite deck or custom built-ins.
Program details & terms
The important details of the Concierge Guardian agreement.
Replenishment thresholds
Credits are replenished on a whole-credit threshold, with automated warnings as your balance nears the minimum and a separate replenishment bill when you hit it: Silver starts at 3 (replenish at 1), Gold at 5 (replenish at 2), Platinum at 7 (replenish at 3).
Lapsed protection
Maintaining your pre-funded accounts is a requirement of the Concierge Guardian agreement. Letting them lapse triggers a $500 Lapsed Protection Penalty and an immediate suspension of all services and walkthroughs. Reinstatement requires the outstanding balance, the $500 penalty, and a $250 reinstatement fee. If not brought current within 14 business days of notice, the contract terminates for default and remaining balances are forfeited.
Capital-improvement form (ST-8)
Gold and Platinum customers sign the New Jersey ST-8 Capital Improvement Form at onboarding. Beyond compliance, it delivers real tax advantages: sales-tax exemption on install labor, added cost basis, and potential insurance discounts.
Major repairs
We do not open sealed systems or perform major equipment repairs. Licensed master-trade contractors handle those and bill you directly, separate from your plan.
Frequently asked questions
What is the All-In Safeguard and Concierge Guardian Protection Plan?
It’s a proactive protection program for your shore home, managed entirely by our dedicated in-house team. Depending on the tier, it gives you a single point of contact for everything from twice-monthly monitoring to premium, pre-funded labor and materials — so you can stop playing property manager and just enjoy your home.
What’s the difference between the Safeguard plan and the Concierge Guardian plans?
Safeguard is monitoring only — we check your home twice a month, send a report, and give you 10% off if you hire us for the repair. The Concierge Guardian plans (Silver, Gold, Platinum) add pre-funded labor (Service Credits) and materials (a Parts Bank) so covered work is handled without you paying on the spot.
What are Service Credits?
Pre-funded professional labor allocations worth $250 each, funded once at onboarding. They cover hands-on work — from minor repairs to custom requests — with no ongoing labor fees until your balance runs low.
What is the Parts Bank?
Your pre-funded material and equipment account. When our team uses a Service Credit for labor, any required materials are drawn from your Parts Bank — so there are no out-of-pocket hardware runs or surprise retail bills. It’s monitored in real time and replenished when it nears your tier’s minimum.
What happens if my Service Credits or Parts Bank run low?
You get automated warnings, then a separate statement to replenish back to par when you reach your tier’s minimum. Keeping the accounts funded is part of the agreement.
Do you handle major repairs like HVAC or electrical?
We handle preventative care and minor troubleshooting ourselves. Major, license-required repairs go to our vetted network of licensed master-trade contractors, who bill you directly and separately from your plan.
How often do you visit my home?
Twice a month during the nine standard months, and once a month during the three summer months.
Can I use my credits for things other than repairs?
Yes. If your home is in good shape, credits can go toward white-glove requests like hanging artwork, assembling furniture, or installing a smart thermostat.
Do the Smart Valve and Filtration systems offer tax advantages?
Yes. Because they permanently upgrade your home, they qualify as exempt capital improvements under NJ law. Signing Form ST-8 at onboarding waives sales tax on the install labor and lets the cost be added to your home’s cost basis, which can reduce your capital-gains tax when you sell. Many insurers also offer premium discounts for an automated Smart Valve.
Do you do anything besides the protection plans?
Yes — we’re a full-service contracting and property management company. You don’t need a plan to hire us for kitchen and bathroom remodeling, deck construction and repair, on-demand winterization, or complete project management. Plan members also unlock preferred discounts on larger projects.
Do you work on roofs, siding, or windows?
To maintain the highest safety and insurance standards, our preventative plans focus on interior systems (including attics and crawl spaces) and ground-level exterior grounds and decks. We do not service, inspect, or climb onto roofs, and we do not perform exterior siding or window replacements.
What areas do you serve?
The Jersey Shore, including Ventnor City, Margate City, Longport, Ocean City, Egg Harbor Township, and surrounding communities.
