Make It Livable DC

Services

Ongoing home safety for when you cannot check in

Bulbs burn out, rails work loose and a slow leak gives no warning. Regular visits and the right sensors catch those changes before they turn into a fall or a flood.

About home maintenance plans

Two layers that work together

The Livable Plan sends our crew back every season or every year to recheck the house, make small repairs and send you photos. Smart home safety devices fill the weeks in between with alerts when something changes.

The visits catch slow wear that no sensor would notice, like a rail working loose. The sensors catch sudden trouble that no quarterly visit could time, like a pipe that lets go on a Sunday. Either one helps alone.

Where they fit in the plan

Families usually add these once the danger fixes are done, so the plan is keeping a safe house safe. A maintenance plan on a house that still has a loose rug and no grab bars just schedules visits to the same hazards.

Sensors come after the house work for the same reason. A leak alert is useful, but a rail fixed into the wall is what holds someone up.

Built for the family far away

If you live across town or in another state, these two services are how you see the house. The photo report after a visit shows you what was checked and changed. A sensor alert tells you when something needs a phone call.

Nothing gets installed that the person living there has not agreed to, and every alert goes only to people they choose.

How it works

  1. Start from what is already fixed. Lighting, sensors and the maintenance plan protect the work the house already has.
  2. Choose the level of checking. A light and sensor upgrade once, or a crew coming back on a set schedule.
  3. Hear back after each visit. The family gets a photo report, wherever they live.

Questions families ask

Do we need both the plan and the sensors?

No. A house with family close by may need only the visits. A parent living alone far from family often gets the most from both.

What does monitoring cost each month?

Published industry figures put a smart safety package at $500 to $5,000 installed plus $30 to $60 a month for monitoring. The monthly fee is put in writing before you sign up for anything.

Can we start the plan without a project?

Yes. Starting with the assessment gives the first visit a full picture of the house, and the plan can begin from there.

Start with the assessment

Keep the house checked after the big fixes are done. It starts with one walk.
