Abigail’s Concierge Services LLC now open and creating a buzz and filling a niche in Gig Harbor.

Full service, turnkey home watch and concierge business opens in the Gig Harbor area pointing an increasing need to provide services to an expanding population of baby boomers reaching retirement age. Growth of US population 65 years+ is expected to grow by 89% by year 2030.

Although similar businesses in other resort and vacation home communities around the nation are already catering to heavy Snowbird populations the serious lack of a similar service in the Gig Harbor area has this company eager to fill the gap and will be the first of its kind in area.

“Gig Harbor and the Fox Island areas are home to a large Snowbird population that head south for the winter. They often worry about their homes when away. Power outages, pipes leaking, security issues, possible storm damage. All manner of things that can happen when a home is not lived in” said Abigail Lovell, business owner. 

“A burst water pipe can ruin a home if it’s not noticed and taken care of immediately. Unfortunately neighbors, friends and family can not always be trusted to do a thorough walk through. And aren’t always prepared to handle emergencies,” She added.

What sets Abigail’s Concierge Services LLC apart she said is “Our commitment is to doing everything in our power provide peace of mind, low stress and a sense of security by attending to every detail during our 
client’s absence.’”

“We will even serve as an emergency contact for alarm calls,” said junior partner Phoebe Bricker. “No one likes to get an alarm call at 3 in the morning, especially when they are thousands of miles away.”

Abigail’s is licensed, bonded and insured not only for Home Watch Services but as a General Contractor (ABIGACS883M6) when it’s necessary to bring in sub contractors. Ms Lovell, said this allows 
them to step in if the worst happens and offers extra assurance to their clients.

The company also offers services when the homeowners are in residence. Their Girl Friday services designed to make life easier for residents and visitors to the area.

“We’re very excited to be working with downtown Gig Harbor merchants, and the response to our Girl Friday-Shopping on the Run grocery delivery service to boats and lodging accommodations has been met with great enthusiasm in the absence of the Judson QFC.” Mark Lovell, owner said. “When we were doing research for our business plan providing services to boaters was consistently at the top to the list.” He added.

Always a great boating destination, Gig Harbor has seen a drop off in boating enthusiasts with the exit of the local QFC and lack of a gas dock.

“We feel that this service will help fill that void. And we’ll also be partnering with some transportation services that will complement our offer.” Added Abigail.
