Estate Care

Your home, looked after while you're away.

Discreet, hands-on care for second homes in Naples, on the Jersey Shore and in the Hamptons, led personally by Hope, who treats every house as if it were her own.

One Trusted Team

The same faces, every single visit.

A beautiful home is a living thing. It needs someone watching the humidity in August, the pipes in January, and the thousand small details in between.

Estate Care is led personally by Hope, with a designer's eye, noticing the sun-faded cushion, the lamp that needs a new shade, the moment the house needs a refresh. The hands-on work, from plumbing and carpentry to repairs and odd jobs, is handled in-house by her husband, a contractor by trade, and every specialty service your home relies on, from pool and landscape to HVAC, is scheduled and overseen for you.

No rotating crews. No call centers. No strangers with your alarm code. Just one accountable, experienced team that knows your home, your preferences and your standards, and quietly keep everything exactly as it should be.

  • One callfor everything, from a dripping faucet to a full seasonal opening
  • Two coastsNaples in winter; the Jersey Shore, NYC & the Hamptons in summer
  • Every visitdocumented with a photo report sent straight to your phone
  • Design-ledcare that keeps your home looking as good as the day it was finished
The Care Menu

Everything handled, nothing overlooked

Tailored to your home and your calendar. Choose a regular rhythm of visits and add whatever else you need.

Scheduled Home Checks

A thorough walk-through inside and out, on a checklist written for your home: leaks, A/C and humidity, plumbing, appliances, doors, windows, pool and grounds.

Storm & Season Readiness

Hurricane prep and post-storm checks in Naples. Winterizing, heat checks and nor'easter walk-throughs up north. Documented for your records and insurer.

Opening & Closing

We close the house properly after Labor Day or Easter, and open it before you return: water and A/C on, pool running, outdoor living staged, every bed made.

Arrival-Ready

Walk into a home that feels lived-in, not shut up. Fresh flowers, a stocked fridge, the temperature just right, lights on. Even for a last-minute weekend.

Repairs & Odd Jobs

A leaking valve, a sticking door, a loose railing, the picture that needs hanging. Handled in-house, the same week, not added to a list for next season.

Trades & Vendors, Supervised

Pool, landscape, cleaning, HVAC and specialty trades, scheduled, let in, overseen and checked afterwards. You never have to be there to wait for anyone.

Deliveries, Keys & Access

Packages received and put away, mail handled, keys held securely, and a trusted person to open the door for anyone you've approved.

Seasonal Refresh & Styling

What no ordinary caretaker offers: a designer who keeps your home current. New linens for summer, a reworked terrace, holiday decor, art rehung.

Peace of Mind

After every visit, a note in your pocket.

You'll never wonder how the house is doing.

Each visit ends with a short photo report sent to your phone: what we checked, what we found, and anything we took care of. If something needs a decision, we call. If it doesn't, we simply handle it.

Through the Seasons

While you're in one home, we're minding the other.

Naples & Southwest Florida

  • Post-storm inspection with a photo report
  • A/C, dehumidifier & humidity logged every visit to keep mold away
  • Opening the house, fully stocked, for your return in the fall

Jersey Shore, NYC & the Hamptons

When the beach house goes quiet, the risks shift to cold, wind and water.

  • Closing after Labor Day: water winterized, pool closed, furniture stored
  • Heat, pipes & roofline checked through winter and after every nor'easter
  • Repairs and improvements completed while you're away
  • Opened, cleaned and styled before Memorial Day weekend

Questions

Good to know

Do I need to be a design client to use Estate Care?

Not at all. Many clients start with Estate Care and bring us in for design later, or the other way around. Either way, you'll be working with Hope and the same trusted team.

Who actually comes to my home?

Hope and her small in-house team, never a rotating crew. Plumbing, carpentry and repairs are handled in-house. For specialty services like pool, landscape or HVAC, we schedule trusted pros, let them in and supervise the work.

How often will you visit?

Most homes are checked every week or two, with extra visits around storms, freezes and your arrivals. Some insurers expect regular checks on unoccupied homes, so it's worth reviewing your policy; we'll set a schedule to match.

Can you take care of a home in Naples and one up north?

That's exactly what we do. We spend winters in Naples and summers in the Northeast, so each home is looked after in its off-season.

How do we get started?

Send a note through the inquiry form. We'll schedule a private walkthrough, learn how you use the home, and put together a care plan and schedule that fits.
