On behalf of everyone at Myhousetenders Inc., our thoughts are with you and your families during this unprecedented time.  We hope that you are remaining healthy and abiding by the recommended actions to avoid the COVID-19 virus.

Terry and I, along with our staff are committed to remaining available to serve you.  Our offices will remain open unless the government requires us to close.

In these trying times Myhousetenders is in the process of developing a company Coronavirus protocol for the handling home inspections....

Always double check our suggestions with a licensed vendor to receive their valued opinion.

For this year's departure, we thought we would share some closing suggestions:

1. Do not cover or close any water drains and always plastic wrap toilets; do not use press and seal.

2. Make sure all AC return vents are open.

3. For the summer months we continue recommending that you discontinue the use of a humidistat to control the climate in your home. We suggest leaving the thermostat set to 78 degrees and leave your sum...

Humidity in Southwest Florida is something that all homeowners should learn about.  Especially since mold in a humid environment can grow so quickly.  Our recommendation is to purchase humidity monitors for your unit.  Here is more information on the monitors that we recommend.

Ensuring proper indoor humidity has important skin, allergen and other health benefits by inhibiting the growth of mold, bacteria, viruses, fungi, mites and other asthma inducing agents. The AcuRite Digital Temperature & H...

A NOTE TO OUR SEASONAL GUESTS: If you plan on leaving town for longer than a week at any time during hurricane season, do the right thing and COMPLETELY empty your refrigerator and freezer before departing. If a hurricane is headed our way, don’t expect your friends, neighbors or home watch service to do this for you, as they will have plenty of other, more important tasks to take care of before and after the storm.

For more information on hurricane preparedness, view the Hurricane Checklist listed in the Naples Dail...

“Thanks for everything. I certainly appreciate your responsiveness through all of this hurricane stuff, especially since I know what a burden it was for you all in getting everyone squared away. Your efforts and professionalism were top notch.”

What a wonderful testimonial from one of our clients! 

Paul,

I appreciate the exquisite care you take of our property.

Our relationship began with the condo in Forest Glen.  When the fire prevention sprinkler system in the ceiling malfunctioned and ruined the ceiling, I figured I was in for a real mess and a fight with the builder to rectify the situation.  To my utter amazement you not only looked after the repairs and the cleanup but also got the builder to pay for it.  When Joyce & I came down after the fact, all we...

Update:

As of 8:00am on 10/7/17 we want to remind you that any detached garage or storage area closet is highly vulnerable to mold and mildew growth. These areas, because of high humidity and possible water intrusion from wind driven rain can be very receptive to mildew or mold growth. When you arrive you will need to properly clean all items ,all contaminated areas (walls/ceilings and floors) before removing any items into your or home storing items in the garage/storage area.

Another area for concern...

One of our loyal clients took the time out to write a thank you note we would like to share:

"Paul and Terry, thank you so much for your tireless work.  We really appreciate that we have a dedicated team looking out for our property.  We can't imagine being in your shoes, but we were thankful that your team helped alleviate any stress that we had in a situation we had no control of!  You are in our hearts and prayers.  Thank you!  Thank you!    

Sincerely, Stacy & Mina Arsenault

We really appreciate thei...

The HVAC condensation line plays an important part in the operation of your Air conditioner. The picture below is the algae and mold removed from a drain line in Southwest Florida.

The following article below was found on American Home Shield Website:  How to Clean Your Air Conditioner's Condensate Drain Line

“If you’ve ever taken a good look at your air conditioning unit, you may have noticed a small dripping line on the outside. This is the condensate drain, which plays an important role in removing condensatio...

Good News! As of 2:00pm on 9/24/17 we have internet, phones and something called TV. Now full speed ahead to update all the paper notes we have.

The week of September 25, 2017, we will start our 4th check of all units post Irma.  Last week we set all HVAC controls to the home position and thermostats to 78 degrees (unless otherwise instructed) and will reset them to the away mode the week of 10/2/17 (unless otherwise instructed).  We have found  many of the units’ smoke detectors are beeping due to the prol...

Unfortunately, we have not had internet or phone since Irma, we are trying to do everything through a “hot spot” to the computer. Comcast is of no help at all even though I have a business account. Might be time to look around.

As of September 21, 2017, we have had our third check of all units post Irma. At this point, wee have set all HVAC controls the home position and thermostats to 78 degrees.  We also have found that many of the smoke detectors are beeping due to the prolonged power outage. 

The next step is...

We are ok!! Thanks for your thinking of us and your prayers. Going forward in the aftermath of Irma we need your help. Over the next few days Myhousetenders and its associates will be assessing damage to their homes and reestablishing our business internet connections. 

Please ask any of your friends and neighbors to check the outside of your home. The more eyes we have would be a great help. Your management company, association and country club management can also be great sources for help. Also check their web site...
