Home Steward Plan vs One-Time Visits

Lower cost per visit
​
Priority scheduling
​
Ongoing home watch
​
Monthly consistency
​
Designed for prevention
​
For most Jacksonville homeowners, the membership pays for itself quickly.
One-Time Visit
​
Designed for immediate, one-off needs, not ongoing home care.
​
Costs 2× the monthly rate due to scheduling disruption and lack of route efficiency
​
No priority access—service is scheduled as availability allows
​
No ongoing oversight—a single visit provides a snapshot, not continuity
​
