Frequently Asked Questions
Can I create my own home inventory?
Of course! We encourage everyone to maintain a home inventory, whether they create it themselves or hire a professional inventory service. That’s why we’ve partnered with DocuHome, the leading software for home inventories. Click here to learn more about the easiest home inventory software on the market and to access exclusive pricing!
However, since creating a home inventory is a time-consuming task, it is often one that is put off until it is too late. Hiring a professional inventory service ensures it will be completed right away and that it will be done right. We have the experience and eye for detail necessary to create a comprehensive inventory for any home or small business owner. Additionally, in the event of a claim, providing an inventory created by a third party adds credibility to the documentation and often requires less additional proof during the claim process.
What items do you include in a home inventory?
We will document all the personal property in your home including furniture, electronics, and clothing and will take special care to detail specialty items such as antiques, art, collections, musical instruments, imported carpets and wine collections. Additionally, we will capture landscaping and fencing in our photographs, an important part of an inventory many may overlook.
What should I do to prepare for my home inventory appointment?
We will provide you with a pre-inventory checklist at the time of our initial consultation that will provide useful tips and hints for an efficient and successful inventory of your home or office. The checklist will detail items such as:
Do I need to clean my home before you come?
No. As long as we can easily move around your home, there is no need to clean out closets or reorganize the garage for us. After all, we understand that a home is to live in!
How long does the inventory process take?
The time required to complete your inventory depends on the size of your home, the amount of specialty items such as collectibles and art in your home, as well as the level of detail you request. After discussing these specific details with you we can provide you with a time estimate.
Do you inventory more than just homes?
Yes! We also specialize in small business inventories. Do you own a landscaping business, a restaurant or other small business? Do you know what’s under your small business’s roof? As a small business owner, you can’t afford not to protect yourself by maintaining an inventory. Contact us today to find out more!
Do you offer any other services?
Yes! We offer wine cellar management personally created by our president, an avid wine collector. Whether your wine collection consists of a small, personal collection of rare wines or a collection of hundreds or thousands of wines, we can provide you with an inventory that fits your needs. A small collection may simply require an itemization and photographic record, while a large collection may require detailed itemization and bottle tagging. We offer a range of inventory options for both personal and commercial collections including:
