Recommendations
Next steps & follow-up
Continue monthly watch visits
The property is in excellent condition. Maintain the current inspection cadence to catch any seasonal changes early.
Schedule a post-storm visit before winter
Before freeze-up, we recommend an additional exterior walk-around after the next major wind event to verify the dock, shoreline, and roof.
Monitor dock hardware next spring
Minor surface wear on one dock cleat was noted. No action needed now, but we'll re-check it during the spring inspection.
