Independent Home Oversight for Seniors and Homeowners
Precision Home Oversight for Your Property
At Hearth Warden in Victoria, BC, our independent home advisory services are designed to give homeowners—including new buyers, busy families, landlords, and owners of older homes—complete clarity and control over their property’s condition.

Every recommendation is impartial, evidence-based, and aligned with maintaining homeowner autonomy and long-term property integrity.

Independent Contractor Quote Analysis
Clients can upload quotes from any contractor for impartial review. Hearth Warden compares bids, evaluates scope, and recommends only necessary, cost-effective solutions. Our stewards do not benefit from referrals, ensuring your decisions are fully supported by unbiased expertise.
Example: “Three roofing bids reviewed. Recommendation: Coastal Roofing ($4,650) for full compliance with local standards and warranty assurance.”
