About Shoreside

Your Neighbor
in Paradise

I'm Tim Fabrizio, owner of Shoreside Home Watch & Services, and I live right here in Artisan Lakes in Palmetto. As your neighbor, I understand exactly what it means to leave your Florida home unattended — and what it takes to protect it while you're away.

With over 10 years in the insurance industry, I've seen firsthand what happens to unattended Florida homes — water intrusion, mold, storm damage, and the costly claims that follow. That background shapes how I approach every visit. I walk your property with the mindset of someone who understands what's at stake, paying close attention to the kinds of conditions that Florida homeowners and their insurers care about most.

Combined with 15+ years in client services and account management, I bring the same level of detail, communication, and accountability to every home I watch. You'll always know exactly what we found — and exactly what was done about it.

Dryer Vent Cleaning

A clogged dryer vent is one of the leading causes of home fires — and it's especially common in seasonal homes where the dryer sits dormant for months and lint hardens in the duct. We clean the full vent line inside and out, restoring safe airflow and protecting your home year-round.

Window Washing
