    MODELED · 2026 — Modeled — a reference range adjusted for this market, not a measured local average.

    What to know about this estimate

    • Visit frequency is the single largest driver of home-watch cost.

    How Ashota gets to real numbers

    • Modeled ranges are a starting point, adjusted for your market's labor costs and climate.
    • When Ashota coordinates work in a market, real quotes and completed jobs replace the model.
    • Every figure on the site carries a data label, so a modeled range is never shown as a measured average.
