Cottage and Rural Property Inspections
Cottage country properties often differ significantly from urban homes. Many rely on private systems, seasonal construction methods, and environmental exposure that require specialized inspection experience.
- Seasonal and year-round cottages
- Waterfront and lake-access properties
- Rural homes and estates
- Recreational and secondary residences
- Off-grid or semi-off-grid properties
Each inspection focuses on structural integrity, moisture management, environmental exposure, and system performance in rural and waterfront settings
