G-Man Home Watch is a full-service home watch provider serving landlords, seasonal and vacationing homeowners in Punta Gorda
Following careers in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the owners of GMan Home Watch, Jorge “George” and Barbara Martinez moved to Florida. Florida has always been their retirement dream location and over the years they visited various parts of the state before discovering Southwest Florida. They fell in love with the sunny weather, friendly residents and the numerous educational and recreational activities the region has to offer. They first settled in Venice and eventually moved to Punta Gorda.
George and Barbara know the wonders of owning a vacation home. They also know the burdens of wondering from afar how well your home has weathered a recent storm. Worse yet, what it is like to return to your piece of paradise only to find damage due to broken pipes or air conditioning units.
Combining their personal experiences with their dedication to serving and protecting the public is where the idea of GMan Home Watch got its start. The name “GMan Home Watch” is a play on the slang term for FBI Special Agents dating back to the 1930s.
George and Barbara first established GMan Home Watch in Venice where it quickly became a prominent go-to business. They received numerous accolades and were voted the 2020 Neighborhood Favorites – BEST PROFESSIONAL SERVICE by subscribers to nextdoor.com. That business was sold and will continue to operate under the name GMan Home Watch of Sarasota County. George and Barbara now bring their expertise, professionalism and dependability to Punta Gorda.
ADDRESS: 1133 Bal Harbor Blvd, Suite 1139, Punta Gorda
EMAIL: info@gmanhomewatch.com
PHONE: 941.621.5254
HOURS OF OPERATONS: Regular business hours are Monday-Friday,
8 am-5 pm. However, given the nature of the business, they are available after hours and weekends for scheduled additional services and emergencies that may arise.
