Our Service

What is a home or small business inventory?

We begin by videotaping the outside of your home or business and the grounds, including out buildings and landscaping. Inside the home or business, every room or work area (including the garage and basement) will be recorded, showing all the contents.  Digital photographs will be taken to supplement the video record.  These high quality  images record in greater detail all of your collectibles, antiques, jewelry, furs, furniture, cars, boats and if a business, office equipment, and shop equipment.  In addition, a written record will be provided listing each item of value, including a description, serial/model numbers, cost and your estimated or appraised replacement value (homes only).

We then download all this onto CD's and give you a print out of the digital photos and written inventory, then place all of this into an attractive portfolio, shortly after completion of the inventory.

Your privacy is important to us.  We provide a professional and confidential home inventory service backed up with a written guarantee. To further ensure your protection, we are licensed and bonded.

Insurance companies and adjusters require detailed information on your property to prove ownership and establish its value.  We provide the documentation you will need to ensure that you receive the maximum reimbursement for your loss in the shortest amount of time.

Quoted from Shelter Insurance Homeowner Policy:

"Know what you own"
Do you know what you own?  You probably think you do, but could you come up with a complete list of all your personal possessions if you had to -- your furniture, appliances, clothing, valuables?  If your home is damaged by a storm, then that is exactly what you might be required to do.  Such a list is needed if a homeowners insurance claim is to be settled fairly.  Also, it is required by your policy.  Now is the time to begin putting together a list or inventory of all your personal property and keep it up to date.

* Something to think about: Our service recommends that your information be kept in a safe deposit box at your local financial institution or a secure, fireproof safe.  This is the only time-tested manner which ensures the information will be there when you need it.  Online services have become popular, however security and confidentiality are questionable to say the least.  Will your on-line inventory be there when you really need it?
