Home Watch in Wakefield, RI
Tide & Timber looks after second and seasonal homes in Wakefield, RI while owners are away— for a season, a month, or a few weeks. Our team is based in Stonington, and we serve Wakefield and the rest of South Kingstown, from the Saugatucket River to the beaches at Matunuck.
From Main Street to the Shore
Wakefield is the commercial center of South Kingstown, with a Main Street running through town and the Saugatucket River nearby, and the town’s ocean beaches, such as East Matunuck State Beach, a short drive south. About 20 percent of South Kingstown’s 13,771 housing units were vacant at the 2020 census, a count that includes seasonal homes.
Homes near the shore take salt air, wind, and high water, while those in and around town see wind, rain, and falling limbs. Our team handles the seasonal opening and closing, visits on a schedule through the off-season, and after a storm sends photos of the roof, siding, and drainage, so you know what the weather left behind.
