Own a cottage in Thornbury? You need someone keeping an eye on it between visits. Thornbury's mix of waterfront cottages and heritage homes means unique maintenance challenges — older plumbing, stone foundations, and lakefront exposure. 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.
