Owners John & Victoria Hill established Secure Coast Home Watch after personally discovering the great need for Home Watch services in the Pinellas County area. Married in 1992, Victoria, a native Floridian, moved to Canada leaving behind a lovely home in Largo, Florida. The challenges of having a unattended home 1500 miles away, soon became painfully obvious. Electrical surges tripped breakers on the air conditioning system creating no air flow, causing mold and the refrigerator had to be replaced. Home received citations for unkempt lawn, as the lawn company was not doing the job they were being paid for. Expensive water bills for small plumbing leakage, and rodents moved in by chewing holes in the soffit and entering the home. “We needed a reliable advocate to help us keep an eye on our home. In speaking to other seasonal homeowners, we soon realized this was a common problem for many folks. Having recently moved back into the Clearwater area, we decided to launch Secure Coast Home Watch, to provide seasonal, secondary and snowbird homeowners assistance”. We look forward to serving our clients while they’re away, providing regular checkups, ensuring peace of mind and security. We also provide many additional services that will make their lives easier. John was a Captain with Toronto Fire Services for 32 years. His investigative and determination skills acquired through firefighting lend themselves uniquely to Home Watch inspections. He is determined to bring the same level of commitment and dedication to our clients. Victoria was a physiotherapy assistant in Canada for 10 years. She is keenly aware of the needs and concerns of absentee homeowners and is determined to serve our clients, while protecting their privacy and confidentiality. Secure Coast Home Watch serves Belleair, Clearwater, Clearwater Beach, Dunedin, Indian Rocks Beach, Indian Shores, Largo, Madeira Beach, Pinellas Park, Redington Shores, Redington Beach, Safety Harbor, Sand Key and Seminole in Pinellas County, Florida.
