Our approach · The inspection visit
Walk the walls with us.
Ghyllosk is a small exterior log-care company. We work on the worn surfaces and joints you live with, and explain what we find before work begins.
A free visit, in plain words
Allow 60–90 minutes. We visit cabins in Maple Crossing and within 40 miles, Monday–Friday, 8am–4pm, by appointment.
-
Agree on a time
Tell us the general area, approximate floor size, and what worries you. We ask about gates, slopes, and access. You do not need to climb up or pull anything apart.
-
Look together
We walk around the outside, examine the lower logs and exposed ends, and look at open joints and peeling finish. We check accessible soft areas gently and measure the visible repair areas. Nothing is cut out during the visit.
-
Separate the jobs
You see what can be cleaned and coated, what needs joint repair, and where replacement wood may be needed. Areas we cannot reach are noted as uninspected.
-
Read the estimate
We send a written scope with preparation, repairs, stain, access costs, and cleanup listed. Hidden damage found later is discussed and priced before any extra work goes ahead.
A useful limit to the visit
This is an exterior maintenance inspection. If we find movement or damage beyond the log repairs we handle, we explain that limit and recommend a separate assessment before proceeding. We do not promise an answer for areas we cannot see.
At the end of the job, we walk the completed work with you. Point out any missed areas or unfinished joints so we can address the workmanship.
The November planning list
The spring 2027 work list opened November 2, 2026, for April–June work. A place on the list does not fix the start date. We agree on the scope and working window, then check the weather and wood conditions before mobilizing.
Start with a walk around.
Bring your questions. We will bring a measured approach.
