Here's the thing

Your home has hundreds of moving parts.

Roof, gutters, HVAC, water heater, seals, vents, detectors — and life is busy. The small stuff gets forgotten until it stops being small.

$15
Caught early
$5,000
Caught late

We catch it at fifteen dollars — before it ever becomes five thousand.

How it works

Three steps. Then stop thinking about it.

STEP ONE

Pick a plan

Choose the level of care your home needs. Takes about three minutes to join, and you're scheduled from there.

STEP TWO

We show up

Our crew arrives on schedule each quarter, works the full checklist, and handles the routine upkeep while we're there.

STEP THREE

You get the report

Photos, findings in plain English, your appliance ages on record, and a Defense Rating for the visit. No jargon, no upsell pressure.

Every visit

The 23-point check.

The same list, every home, every visit — so nothing depends on who showed up or what mood they were in.

Maintenance is included. Repairs are quoted, never assumed. If we find something outside routine upkeep, we photograph it, explain it, and send a quote. You decide.
The stuff that bites you

What everyone forgets.

None of these are dramatic. All of them get expensive.

Clogged gutters

Water backs up under the edge of the roof, rots the fascia, and finds its way inside.

Dryer vent buildup

Lint packs the duct until airflow drops. It's a leading preventable cause of house fires.

Dirty HVAC filter

The system works harder, your bill climbs, and the unit's life gets shorter.

Aging water heater

They rarely warn you. They just fail — usually into a finished room.

Dead detector batteries

Smoke and CO alarms only work if they're live. We test every one, every visit.

Failed caulk & seals

Small gaps let in water, drafts, and pests. Cheap to fix now, not later.

Meet Garrison

A local crew you can trust.

Garrison Defense is veteran-owned and based right here in Knoxville. We started it for a simple reason: a home is the biggest thing most people will ever own, and nobody has time to keep up with everything it needs.

So we do it for you, with the same care we'd give our own homes. Show up on schedule, do honest work, and always tell you the truth about your house. That's the whole promise.

Good questions

Frequently asked.

What exactly is Garrison Defense?

A home-maintenance membership. We visit on a set schedule, inspect and maintain the key systems in your home, and send you a full photo report — so small problems get caught before they become big bills.

How often do you come out?

Depends on your plan. Recon is twice a year; Guardian and Fortress are four seasonal visits a year. We schedule them for you and remind you before every visit.

What happens if you find something that needs a repair?

We document it with photos, explain it in plain English, and send you a quote — no pressure. Routine upkeep is included in your plan; larger repairs are always your choice.

Do I need to be home?

Not usually. Most of our work is exterior and accessible systems. For anything that needs inside access, we'll coordinate a time that works for you.

Is there a contract? Can I cancel?

Membership starts with a 12-month term, then switches to month-to-month — cancel anytime after that with no fee. Founding members keep their locked-in rate the whole time.

What areas do you serve?

Knoxville and the surrounding counties. Not sure if you're in our area? Call or text us and we'll let you know.
