About this provider

"Lake Guard LLC is a premier, family-owned Home Watch provider serving the Lake of the Ozarks region. Owned by Tim and Lori Schuett, the company offers professional, visual inspections of unoccupied or secondary residences. They act as a ""first line of defense,"" identifying potential hazards like water leaks, HVAC failures, and pest issues before they escalate into costly damage.
Beyond basic home checks, Lake Guard specializes in the unique needs of waterfront properties, including dock and boat lift monitoring, storm damage assessments, and concierge ""arrival-ready"" services.
Why Clients Choose Lake Guard LLC
Accredited Expertise: As a National Home Watch Association (NHWA) accredited business, Lake Guard is fully bonded, insured, and background checked. This professional designation ensures they follow a rigorous code of ethics and industry best practices.

A ""Mechanical Eye"": Founder Tim Schuett brings extensive experience in home maintenance, appliances, and HVAC. Unlike a casual neighbor, he is trained to spot the subtle warning signs of mechanical failure or structural issues.

GPS-Verified Reporting: Every visit is documented using the HomeWatchIT app. Clients receive a digital electronic report complete with photos and GPS-stamped arrival/departure times, providing an essential paper trail for insurance compliance.

Lake-Specific Knowledge: They understand the specific challenges of Missouri lake living, from fluctuating water levels and dock security to the rapid response required after severe lake storms.

Personalized Concierge Care: They go beyond security by offering ""vacation prep""—stocking groceries, adjusting thermostats, and handling deliveries—so that your arrival at the lake is stress-free and your time is spent relaxing."
