Fix visits and walk-throughs
The fix visit is the core: something drops, I go get it back online. Weekly or monthly walk-throughs add a full check of the house. I walk through homes almost every day, and I come from a family of tradespeople, so I know what early trouble looks like. I catch small problems before they become expensive ones.
Every device confirmed online
On each walk-through: cameras recording, Wi‑Fi and router up, smart locks, thermostat and doorbell connected.
Inside and outside walk
A full walk through the house and around the outside, every visit.
Water and leaks
Under sinks, around the water heater, toilets and ceilings. I run the faucets and flush the toilets.
Heating, cooling and power
Thermostat and HVAC running, breakers and power checked, fridge running.
Doors, windows and locks
Every door and window closed and locked, plus a look for signs of pests.
Mail, packages and bins
Mail and packages brought in, trash bins out and back on the right days.
Yard and irrigation
A look at the yard and sprinklers for anything obvious, like a broken head or standing water.
Same-day text report
What I checked, what I saw, and photos, sent the same day.

Your standing visits
Home Watch starts. Every visit after this one is faster, because I already know your house.
Home Watch pricing
Fix visits are billed by the hour. A walk-through takes about 45 minutes and confirms every device is online. Inner Circle Route members pay their locked rate ($45/hr right now). Everyone else pays $55/hr, with a 1-hour minimum per visit.

Prices follow the insider price ladder: whatever rate you locked in is the rate your Home Watch visits use. The same-day text report with photos is included.
I spot and report; I don’t do repairs. When something needs a fix, I’ll tell you what I saw and who to call. Have a rental between guests? The between-guest check-ins on the Inner Circle Route use the same walk-through, plus a tech reset.
Larger setups get one hour free. Setting up cameras, Wi‑Fi or smart locks for a host or rental property counts. Details
Scam texts or spam calls getting to you or a parent? Scam help: I come over and lock it down.
FAQs
What’s the Setup visit?
It’s the first working visit for new Inner Circle Route and Home Watch members: $99 flat, about 90 minutes. I walk through your home’s tech, write an inventory of every device, note where your accounts live (you keep the passwords), list what to fix first and write a plan for your standing visits. The first meeting is separate: a free 20-minute chat. Larger setups get one hour free: a full camera system install, a whole-home Wi‑Fi or mesh network, a multi-device smart home setup, a host or rental property setup, or Concierge members. The free hour applies to that setup work, once per household. I confirm whether a job qualifies before we start. Waived for insiders 1–5.
My camera went offline and I’m out of town. What now?
Text me. I’ll set up a fix visit, go to the house, get it back online and text you when it’s working, with a photo or a screenshot from the app.
How do you handle keys and alarm codes?
However you prefer. A key you hand me, a lockbox, or a door code you set up for me. Alarm codes the same way: you tell me how you want the alarm handled, and I follow it. I only use them for your visits, and you can change them any time.
What if you find a leak?
I text you right away with photos and what I saw. If water is actively coming through, I call you right away and tell you who to call. I don’t do the repair myself.
What areas do you cover?
Chatsworth, Canoga Park, West Hills, Winnetka, Simi Valley and Agoura Hills. Not sure if you’re on the route? Text me your ZIP.
Can I book only while I’m away?
Yes. Text me your dates and how often you want a visit, and I’ll set them up. You don’t need a weekly or monthly plan.
A note from Kareem
Remember when the paper showed up on your porch, same day every week? This is that, for your home tech. I come by, fix what’s broken, and tend the rest so fewer things break.
It’s just me: Kareem Jamal, Sole Owner Operator. Your route, not a ticket queue.
