We open the cottage before you arrive and close it properly when the season ends. Every property gets its own checklist, built on the first visit, so nothing is missed and every step is photographed.
What Our Spring Openings & Fall Closings Service Includes
Cottage opened in spring and properly closed in fall, to a written checklist with photos.
01
Openings that start the season right
We walk the roof line, decks, docks, steps and interior for signs of water, pests or winter movement, bring water back on, and check for leaks. You get a short list of anything that needs attention.
Shutoffs, drains, appliances, furniture in, docks and boats secured, coverings on, final walk-through. Plumbing and fuel steps are handled by the right licensed trade.
Start with monitoring and monthly checks. Add seasonal maintenance or more frequent care. Every plan includes your client portal and full-property visit photos.
Openings usually run late April through June depending on ice and road access. Closings run September through November.
Do you winterize the plumbing yourselves?+
We coordinate plumbing winterization and water start-up with licensed trades where the system calls for it, and handle the rest of the checklist with our own crew.
Do you do new builds or renovations?+
No. We focus only on care, maintenance and repairs for existing homes and cottages. That focus is what lets us respond fast and keep visits on schedule.
Are you insured?+
Yes. We carry commercial general liability insurance and WSIB coverage, and can send certificates on request.
Do I need to be at the property?+
No. Most of our clients are away when we visit. Every visit ends with photos and notes so you see exactly what was done.
