Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some common questions.

What services does Bay Asset Care provide?

Bay Asset Care provides scheduled property maintenance, home watch services, STR support, RV checks, and marine (boat and dock) care. Our services focus on preventative maintenance, inspections, and hands-on tasks that help protect and maintain your property while you’re away.

What areas do you service?

We primarily serve Pasco, Hernando, Citrus, and northern Hillsborough Counties, including areas north of Clearwater. Additional nearby Tampa Bay locations may be available depending on service needs and scheduling.

What types of properties do you work with?

We work with short-term rentals (Airbnb/VRBO), vacation homes, seasonal homes, RVs, RV lots, boats, docks, and select commercial properties. Our services are designed for owners who need reliable, scheduled support and peace of mind.

How are you different from a property management company?

Unlike traditional property management companies, we do not manage bookings, guests, or cleaning services. Instead, we focus strictly on property care, maintenance, inspections, and coordination—giving you hands-on support without the overhead or percentage-based management fees.

What is included in a typical visit?

Visits may include a full property walkthrough, visual inspections, filter checks, minor maintenance tasks, exterior cleanup, system checks, and detailed photo reporting. Each visit is tailored to your property and service plan.

Do you provide photo updates after visits?

Yes. After each visit, you will receive a photo report along with notes outlining the condition of your property and any recommended follow-up items.

Do you offer emergency or on-call services?

No. Bay Asset Care operates on a scheduled service model. We do not provide emergency, after-hours, or on-call services. This allows us to maintain consistent, reliable service for all clients.

Are you licensed and insured?

We are insured and operate as a property maintenance and home watch service. We are not a licensed contractor, plumber, electrician, or marine mechanic. Any work requiring a licensed professional will be recommended and can be coordinated upon request.

What happens if you find a problem during a visit?

If an issue is identified, we will document it with photos, notify you, and provide recommended next steps. With your approval, we can coordinate with a qualified vendor or contractor to address the issue.

Can you coordinate with cleaners, contractors, or vendors?

Yes. We frequently coordinate with cleaners, contractors, delivery services, and vendors to ensure your property is maintained and ready when needed.

Do you service boats and docks?

Yes. We offer scheduled marine checks including dock line inspections, visual boat checks, fender adjustments, storm preparation (during visits), and condition reporting. We do not perform mechanical or engine repairs.

Do you offer RV and RV lot services?

Yes. RV services include exterior checks, hookup inspections, system monitoring, and general condition reporting. RV lot services include site inspections, utility checks, and light cleanup to keep the property in good condition.

How is pricing structured?

Pricing is based on the selected service plan, visit frequency, property type, and requested services. Additional work, materials, or extended labor may increase the final cost.

Do you perform repairs during visits?

Yes, we handle minor repairs and maintenance tasks during scheduled visits when appropriate. Larger or specialized repairs will be documented and recommended for follow-up.

Are you responsible for damages or missed issues?

We perform visual inspections and preventative maintenance during scheduled visits. However, we cannot guarantee detection of all issues or be responsible for hidden, sudden, or unforeseen problems that occur outside the scope of service.
