TUG Home Guard: Protect Your Home and Save Thousands
Over the past few years, since launching our general contracting company, we have been dedicated to making the home buying and selling process smoother and more efficient. Working closely with realtors, home buyers, and sellers, we have assisted with due diligence repair requests, major repairs, punch list items, engineer letters, and coordination of essential inspections such as home, septic, and water testing. These services are critical in ensuring buyers and sellers get the best value in their transactions.
We started with just two real estate agents and have now grown to support 16 different organizations in the real estate industry. But our mission doesn’t stop at closing—homeownership requires ongoing maintenance, and that’s where our new service comes in.
TUG Home Guard: Your Partner in Home Maintenance
Your home is your biggest investment, and protecting it requires continuous care. According to HomeGuide.com, homeowners spend between $4,000 and $22,000 per year on maintenance, with the average homeowner dedicating 230 hours annually to upkeep. The time, cost, and stress of maintaining a home can quickly add up.
Here’s the breakdown:
If a homeowner spends the lowest estimated amount of $4,000 annually on maintenance and factors in 230 hours of labor, that equates to an estimated total cost of $12,600Â when considering both materials and time spent.
With TUG Home Guard, you can protect your home for starting at $150 per month—that’s $1,800 annually, resulting in a savings of $10,800 per year while eliminating the stress and hassle of home maintenance.

Packages Include
Tier 1: The "Bare Bones" Plan
"For homeowners who just want the basics covered—because ignoring home maintenance never ends well".
​
HVAC & Ventilation
Swap out those dusty air filters (especially if you have pets or an allergy to, well, dust).
Make sure exhaust fans in the kitchen and bathrooms are actually exhausting.
Ensure air vents and returns aren’t blocked by furniture, toys, or that one shoe you’ve been looking for.
Check door and window seals so you're not heating and cooling the entire neighborhood.
​
Plumbing
Peek under sinks for leaks—because water damage isn’t a fun surprise.
Run water through unused sinks and toilets (because ghost gurgles are creepy).
Freshen up that garbage disposal (ice cubes and citrus peels do wonders).
Exercise all shut-off valves so they don’t freeze up when you actually need them.
​​
Kitchen & Appliances
Clean out range hood filters before they become a grease fire hazard.
Change refrigerator water filters—because mystery floaties in your water are not ideal.
Inspect and clean that dishwasher filter (yep, it has one).
​​
Safety & Security
Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, because safety first.
Inspect fire extinguishers (you do have one, right?).
Check locks, deadbolts, and security systems to keep out both burglars and in-laws.
​​
General Upkeep
Inspect ceilings, walls, and floors for water stains—because surprises are only fun at birthdays.
Look for signs of pests (if they start paying rent, let us know).
Check outdoor lights and replace burnt-out bulbs.
Test the garage door auto-reverse feature so it doesn’t crush anything important (like your car).
Tier 2: The "Proactive" Plan
"Everything in the Bare Bones plan, plus quarterly maintenance—because your home needs love all year".
​
HVAC & Energy Efficiency
Clean dryer vents before they turn into fire hazards.
Flush the water heater to remove sediment (your showers will thank you).
Test and adjust thermostats for seasonal changes, because "Why is it so hot in here?" gets old fast.
​​
Plumbing & Water Systems
Clear out gutters and downspouts so water flows where it’s supposed to.
Test the sump pump by pouring water into the pit—because finding out it doesn’t work during a storm is the worst.
Check the water softener and add salt if needed. No one likes crunchy water.
​​
Exterior & Landscaping
Trim trees and bushes away from the house before they decide to move in.
Inspect the foundation for cracks or water pooling (neither is a good sign).
Power wash patios, decks, and siding—because a clean house is a happy house.
​​
Safety & Security
Lubricate garage door tracks and hinges so it stops sounding like a horror movie.
Inspect window and door seals to keep out drafts (and possibly your nosy neighbor).
Clean chimney flue and fireplace if you actually use it.
Tier 3: The "Ultimate Home" Plan
"Everything in the first two tiers, plus an annual deep dive to keep your house running like a dream".
​
Spring (March - May)
Inspect the roof for damage, missing shingles, or leaks (roofs are kind of important).
Check exterior paint and siding—because curb appeal matters.
Schedule HVAC servicing before summer, so you’re not melting in July.
Deep clean windows and screens (yes, you should do this at least once a year).
Check sprinkler system for leaks and make sure it actually waters your lawn, not the sidewalk.
​
Summer (June - August)
Seal driveways and walkways before they start looking like an archaeological dig site.
Inspect outdoor furniture and grills—because nobody wants to sit on a rusty chair.
Clean and repair pool equipment (if you have one, lucky you).
Check for ants, termites, and other uninvited guests.
​​
Fall (September - November)
Schedule a chimney sweep before you light that first fire and fill your house with smoke.
Flush outdoor faucets and shut down sprinklers before they turn into icicles.
Clean out the gutters (again, because nature never quits).
Check attic insulation so your heating bill doesn’t skyrocket.
Reverse ceiling fans to circulate warm air—because science.
​​
Winter (December - February)
Inspect the basement and crawlspace for moisture (because mold is not a good roommate).
Test backup generator (because power outages are fun for exactly zero minutes).
Check weather stripping and insulation around doors and windows—drafts don’t belong inside.
Stock up on ice melt and winter supplies before the first storm hits and the stores are empty.
