Accreditation & Professional Standards
Why Accreditation Matters
At Azure Skies Home Watch, accreditation isn’t just a badge — it’s a commitment. We’re proud to be an accredited member of the National Home Watch Association (NHWA), a respected authority in the home watch industry that sets standards for training, ethics, accountability, and professionalism.
Accreditation means we operate at a level that goes beyond “just checking on a home.” It signals to homeowners that we’ve been vetted, verified, and held to high standards of care — so you can trust us with one of your most valuable assets.

Accreditation from the NHWA tells homeowners that
What NHWA Accreditation Means
Vetted & Verified
NHWA accreditation requires a formal vetting process before a company is approved. This includes background checks and verification of the business and its owners. Homeowners can feel confident knowing they are working with a provider that has been reviewed and approved by an independent professional association.
Properly Licensed & Insured
Accredited members must maintain active business licensing, insurance, and bonding at all times. This protects homeowners from unnecessary risk and ensures the company is operating legally and responsibly. These requirements are reviewed to remain in good standing.
Professional Standards
NHWA establishes clear standards for how home watch services should be performed. Accredited providers agree to follow best practices for inspections, documentation, communication, and ethical conduct, creating consistency and reliability across every visit.
Ongoing Accountability
Accreditation is not permanent without continued compliance. Members must maintain required credentials, renew insurance and licensing, and operate in alignment with NHWA guidelines. This ongoing accountability helps ensure standards don’t slip over time.
Industry Oversight
The home watch industry is largely unregulated. NHWA provides an added layer of oversight by setting expectations and standards that accredited businesses must meet. This helps homeowners avoid providers who operate without training, insurance, or ethical guidelines.
Peace of Mind
Accreditation gives homeowners confidence that their property is being cared for by trained professionals who follow established standards. It removes guesswork and provides reassurance that your home is in capable, accountable hands.

How NHWA Accreditation Elevates Our Service
NHWA accreditation holds us to defined professional standards. Our processes, documentation, and business practices are reviewed and must remain compliant to maintain accreditation. This creates accountability that goes beyond a simple promise and gives homeowners confidence in how their home is cared for.
Accredited home watch providers follow nationally recognized best practices. This means our inspections aren’t random or rushed. Every visit follows a structured approach designed to catch issues early and document them clearly, visit after visit.
NHWA standards emphasize proper documentation. Each visit is recorded with detailed notes and photos, along with GPS and time verification. This creates a reliable record of your home’s condition and ensures transparency at every step.
Accreditation requires formal training through the NHWA Home Watch Boot Camp. This training covers inspection procedures, risk awareness, communication, and ethics. The result is a higher level of professionalism and consistency in how services are delivered.
NHWA members are bound by a Code of Ethics. This reinforces honest communication, responsible conduct, and respect for client property and privacy. It adds an extra layer of protection for homeowners beyond basic business requirements.
Many home watch services operate without oversight, training, or formal standards. NHWA accreditation separates professional providers from informal or unverified options by requiring proof of qualifications, insurance, and ethical compliance.
