Santa Cruz projects from somewhere else
Bay Area and out-of-area owners need a clearer view of active renovations, ADUs, additions, vacant homes, and second homes under repair.
Lampists provides property intelligence, photo documentation, camera-free monitoring options, and local dispatch for active job sites, second homes, vacant homes, and absentee-owned properties.
A renovation, remodel, ADU, second home, or vacant property does not manage itself. Your GC manages the work. Your vendors manage their piece. Your realtor may help at the edges. But the owner still needs independent visibility.
Lampists fills that gap with local observation, timestamped photos, visible-condition notes, camera-free monitoring options, and owner-approved dispatch when something needs eyes on it.
Bay Area and out-of-area owners need a clearer view of active renovations, ADUs, additions, vacant homes, and second homes under repair.
Your GC manages the job. Vendors manage their scope. Lampists gives the owner an independent visible-condition record around the work.
We observe, document, notify, and coordinate owner-approved next steps when something needs local eyes.
See Job Site WatchWe give owners a property record they can actually use: what was visible, what was photographed, what changed, and what may need a next step.
Create a visible-condition record with timestamped photos, notes, access observations, weather exposure notes, and practical owner-facing flags.
Where supported, camera-free monitoring can help flag conditions that may need attention: water, access, temperature, smoke/CO, unusual activity, or device/offline events.
When something needs verification, a Lampist can go to the property, document what is visible, and coordinate the owner-approved next step.
Every visit, issue, response, and next step is documented so the owner has a clear record instead of scattered texts, guesses, or delayed updates.
A First Watch Report gives owners a one-time documented baseline of visible site conditions: dated photos, access and exposure notes, visible-condition observations, and practical next steps from a local visit.
A Lampists local visit, documented and photo-backed: exterior condition, signage and access observations, material or weather exposure, visible changes, and anything visibly off.
In our composite sample report, the field team spent 1h 28m on site and produced 14 timestamped photos across exterior, moisture, storm-readiness, access, and vendor-coordination categories.

If you are renovating a Santa Cruz property and cannot be there every day, Lampists gives you an independent owner-side visibility layer.
We are not your GC. We are not a home inspector. We do not supervise the job site. We are the local eyes-and-ears layer that helps owners understand what is visible at the property when they are not there.
For owners who want independent visibility without asking the GC for one more update.
Photo-backed owner records during projects with changing access, materials, weather, and vendor activity.
Local documentation when the owner is not there and no one is living at the property full-time.
A practical layer for Bay Area owners managing a coastal property from over the hill.
Owner-side visibility during work windows, vendor visits, light repairs, or property transitions.
Cleaner owner communication and fewer one-off 'can you check?' interruptions.
The right cadence depends on what is happening at the property: a one-time baseline, a monthly owner record, weekly photo documentation, daily job-site visibility, or incident dispatch.
Job Site Watch includes an owner-ready monthly site report with visible-condition notes and photo-backed observations.
Where supported, monitoring can help flag water, access, temperature, smoke/CO, unusual activity, or device/offline events.
Watch Plus adds scheduled weekly photo documentation for owners who want a more frequent record.
End-of-day photo log and visible-condition notes each business day for active renovations and high-anxiety projects.
Owner-approved local visit when something needs eyes on it.
Every visit, issue, response, and next step is documented in a clear owner-side record.

Existing STR owners can still use Lampists for owner-side visibility and documented local response.
When no one is living at the property full-time, the risk is not just what happens. It is how long it takes anyone to notice. Lampists helps owners maintain visibility through scheduled checks, visible-condition reporting, storm notes, access observations, vendor coordination, and local dispatch when something needs attention.
For GCs, Lampists can reduce owner anxiety and unnecessary interruptions by creating a clean owner-facing record. For realtors, First Watch is a practical gift for clients who bought a property that needs attention.
Daily Watch is available for active renovations when the owner wants a consistent record of progress, site condition, access issues, material exposure, weather concerns, or visible changes.
Lampists gives remote owners a consistent, independent visibility layer without supervising, inspecting, or interfering with the job site.
A First Watch Report gives buyers a local property baseline after closing, before renovation, or during a transition period.
For active renovations and high-anxiety projects, Lampists can provide end-of-day documentation each business day.
We observe, document, notify, and coordinate owner-approved next steps. We do not perform construction work or certify outcomes.
Lampists is not a home inspection, appraisal, structural review, roof inspection, mold inspection, pest inspection, legal service, insurance service, security service, contractor, or government service. Reports are observational and based only on visible conditions at the time of visit. We do not perform construction work, certify safety, quality, code compliance, or permit compliance, or provide guard, patrol, or theft-prevention services.
A $295 First Watch Report gives you a documented baseline of visible site conditions before you choose Job Site Watch, Property Watch, Daily Watch, or incident dispatch.
