Details

A New Kind of Home Service

Those of us fortunate enough to have vacation homes in Highlands know how difficult it can be to find people to pay attention to details in our absence. For this reason, I operate Details, an innovative, local approach to the care and service of your home.

Services Offered

Expert Cleaning
Available weekly, monthly, or as a brief tidying before you, your renters, or your guests arrive in town. I will gladly perform anything from light cleaning to comprehensive spring or fall cleaning. Have a home that is currently for sale? I will come in and see that your spaces glow for showing. I will also clean after your home is sold and the moving company has finished packing your belongings.
Home Check
A visual inspection of your home to make certain that all is well. During this visit, I will also check your faucets, toilets, and exterior spigots for leaks. If something is out of order, I will contact you and, if you wish, the appropriate repair person. This service is available weekly, monthly, or by request.
Repair Supervision
Nervous that the service technician whom you hired hasn’t completed the job or done satisfactory work? I will check on the progress and state of completion for you, providing photographs as you wish. If you need a good hand and I can’t do the work myself, I’ll find someone who can.
Personal Shopper Service
Available so that you don’t have to worry about what’s for dinner when you first get into town, hours after some local grocers have shut their doors. Need six filets or breakfast delectables to be waiting in the fridge for you? I’ll take care of it.
Vacation Rental Cleaning and Inventory
This service is available to both private homeowners who handle their own vacation rentals and real estate professionals.
Clutter Control
Need those closets and drawers organized but don’t have the time or the inclination to take care of the clutter yourself? I’ll do the job for you.
The Extra Details
Want fresh flowers in your home when you, guests, or renters arrive? Need your entry pots or planted beds spruced up? I can take care of that, too.

Why Details?

My family began its love affair with Highlands in the summer of 1976 and bought its first property here in 1978. My parents have operated one home as a weekly vacation rental for twenty-eight years and recently added another, in addition to having a private vacation home here. With three Highlands properties to manage and maintain, the key issue has always been finding competent people to pay attention to details in their absence.

Because of my own and my parents’ experiences here in Highlands, I feel strongly that other property owners with particular taste share our frustration in finding good people who will actually pay attention to details in our homes.
