βοΈπ Summer is one of the toughest seasons on your cottage's exterior.
Between intense UV rays, heavy rain, strong winds, and fluctuating temperatures, your roof and siding can take a beating without you even realizing it.
Here are a few signs to watch for:
π¨ Roofing
β’ Missing or damaged shingles
β’ Curled or lifting shingles
β’ Dark streaks or stains
β’ Moss or algae growth
β’ Soft spots or sagging areas
β’ Excessive shingle granules in gutters
π‘ Siding
β’ Cracks or gaps
β’ Warping or loose panels
β’ Fading from sun exposure
β’ Soft or swollen areas
β’ Peeling or deteriorating caulking around windows and doors
Over time, the summer elements can cause roofing materials to dry out, siding to weaken, and moisture to find its way into places it shouldn't. Left unchecked, small issues can turn into costly repairs involving rot, mold, leaks, and structural damage.
Taking a few minutes to inspect your cottage each season can make a big difference. Catching problems early helps protect your investment, extend the life of your exterior, and avoid unexpected repair bills down the road.
