Signature Heartfelt Home Checkup
After more than 30 years working in homes, I’ve seen the same pattern over and over: small issues quietly grow into big, expensive problems. Leaks behind cabinets, weak bathroom fans, bad GFCI outlets, loose railings, trip hazards – most homeowners only find out about them when something breaks.
The Heartfelt Home Checkup is my signature program for changing that. It’s a one-time, 60–90-minute visit where I go through your home with a structured checklist and professional testing tools, looking for safety and comfort issues before they become emergencies. At the end, you get a clear, written report so you know what needs attention now, what can wait, and what’s just nice-to-have.
What the Heartfelt Home Checkup Is
This isn’t a sales pitch, a coupon, or a long-term contract. It’s a signature, one-time visit I created for homeowners who want real peace of mind.
During your Heartfelt Home Checkup, I walk through your home the same way I would for my own family. I use a detailed checklist and tools like a GFCI tester, moisture meter, airflow tester, and non-contact voltage tester to look for:
Safety issues
Hidden water problems
Ventilation and moisture concerns
Trip and fall hazards
Comfort and accessibility improvements
It’s a focused, intentional visit – not just “while I’m here, I’ll glance around.”
What I Check During Your Signature Visit
Every home is different, but a typical Heartfelt Home Checkup includes:

I tailor the walkthrough to your home and your concerns, with a special focus on safety and long-term comfort.
What You Receive After the Checkup
At the end of your Heartfelt Home Checkup, you receive a simple, written Home Health Report that organizes my findings into three categories:
Urgent – Fix Soon: Safety issues or active problems that should be addressed as soon as reasonably possible.
Next 3–6 Months: Preventive items and wear-and-tear to plan for before they turn into bigger issues.
Nice-to-Have / Comfort & Convenience: Upgrades and improvements that can make your home more comfortable, accessible, or senior-friendly.
The report is written in plain English so you can understand it, share it with family, and refer back to it when you’re ready to tackle projects.
Pricing & How Repairs Work
The Heartfelt Home Checkup is a flat $189 within my normal service area.
That fee covers:
60–90 minutes on site
A full walkthrough using my checklist and testing tools
A written Home Health Report with clear priorities
Repairs are not included in the $189.
If we find items that need repair and you’d like me to take care of them, I’ll provide a separate estimate for that work. You can decide what to do and when. There is no obligation to hire me for any repairs after the Checkup – the goal is to give you clear information and options.
