What breaks in each season
Winter: ice loading on the cap and flashing. Spring: freeze-thaw cracking in the crown from 68 annual cycles. Summer: UV degradation on any exposed sealant. Fall: raccoon and squirrel nesting before the cold snap.
The Milton scheduling window
We aim to complete pre-winter winter prep on Milton homes by the last Saturday in October. Book by Labour Day for that window — after that we're scheduling against weather.
