The House Steward
The House Steward is more than a service company. We are the modern version of the classic household steward — taking care of every detail that makes a house truly feel like a home. Our goal is to deliver trust, consistency, and excellence through services that combine property care, preventive maintenance, and the timeless dignity of traditional stewardship.
Our Services
🏡 House Care & Detailing
We handle the everyday details that keep your home welcoming and safe:
-
General cleaning & upkeep: Regular sweeping, vacuuming, dusting, and organizing light clutter to ensure each room is fresh and comfortable.
-
Bulb replacement: We keep your house shining, replacing lightbulbs and fixtures so you’re never left in the dark.
-
Electrical checks: Testing outlets and light switches for safety and function, addressing minor issues before they become electrical hazards.
-
Plumbing checks: Toilets, sinks, and faucets are inspected to spot small leaks or irregularities. Catching these early can prevent costly water damage.

A beautiful home extends beyond four walls — we ensure your outdoor spaces look as elegant as your interiors.

Snow & ice management: Clearing driveways, walkways, and entrances during winter so your home remains accessible and safe.
🔧 Preventive Maintenance
The secret to stress-free homeownership lies in preventing problems before they escalate. We focus on routine inspections and quick fixes:

Leak inspections: Checking under sinks, around toilets, and outdoor spigots for signs of water damage.
-
Smoke detector & fire extinguisher maintenance: Regular battery replacements and status checks to keep your family safe.
-
Air filter replacements: Ensuring HVAC systems run efficiently with clean filters, improving air quality and reducing energy costs.

When you’re away, we act as your trusted guardian:
-
Scheduled visits: We inspect your home inside and out, verifying security and condition.
-
Digital reports: Receive photo updates and written summaries after each visit for complete peace of mind.
-
Emergency response: Should an issue arise, we are the first on site, coordinating repairs or responses immediately.
-
Home preparation: Before you return from a trip, we can prepare the home by airing out rooms, adjusting thermostats, stocking essentials, or simply making it feel “lived-in” again.
