Seasonal and property considerations in Canton
Seasonal temperature changes, winter moisture and freeze-thaw cycles can affect exterior joints, steps, doors, gutters, decks and painted surfaces. Spring and early fall are often practical for exterior maintenance, while assembly, drywall work, mounting and interior painting can be planned throughout the year.
