Own a cottage in Meaford? You need someone keeping an eye on it between visits. Meaford properties are spread across rural lots and waterfront parcels — many without neighbours close enough to notice a problem. Cottage Maintenance runs bi-weekly inspections with a 30-point checklist, photo reports, and full trades coordination — so you don't have to wonder what's going on up there.
Plans from $349/month
Managing a cottage from the city means coordinating contractors by phone, driving up for every small issue, and hoping nothing goes wrong between visits. It's a part-time job you didn't sign up for.
