How we work in Inkoo
Zone: Cottages
- — Seasonal visits agreed all at once. Opening in spring, the summer visits and closing in fall are agreed in one go, so the dates are in the calendar before the season starts.
- — Larger jobs as projects of their own. Docks, terraces and repairs are scheduled separately, and the materials come with the same transport.
- — Travel costs: stated in the quote before the work starts, and never added afterwards. It's worth combining small jobs with a seasonal visit.
- — Islands and ferries: you can drive beyond the Barösund ferry. For island sites without road access, transport is agreed case by case.

Services in Inkoo
Seasonal cottage care
- — In spring: opening the cottage, cleaning up the yard, checking for winter damage and cleaning the gutters.
- — In summer: lawn mowing and hedge care at agreed intervals.
- — In fall: closing the cottage, gutters, a roof check and getting the yard ready for winter.
We agree in advance on how we get onto the property. You'll get photos of the work and a note if anything needs repairing.
Docks
New docks and repairs on the seashore. At sea, the ice moves and the water level changes, so the type of dock and the ice protection are chosen to suit the shore. The old dock is removed and taken away at the same time.
Terraces and platforms for shore saunas
New terraces, stairs down to the shore and canopies, and sanding and oiling old ones.
Roof washing and gutters
On wooded plots, moss and pine needles build up quickly on the roof and in the gutters. Roof washing fits on the same visit as opening in spring or closing in fall.
Transport and demolition
Materials to the cottage, old furniture and demolition waste away. Removing old sheds and docks.
Small repairs
Doors, windows, trim and other repairs you notice at the start of the season. Write them down as a list for the spring opening.

Prices in Inkoo
The household deduction (kotitalousvähennys) also applies to a holiday home. The deduction is 40% of the labor portion. Travel costs and materials aren't covered by the deduction.
What affects the price in Inkoo
- — Access to the site. A ferry or boat transport adds time, and it is stated in the quote.
- — How many jobs on the same visit. When roof washing or small repairs are combined with a seasonal visit, the travel costs are shared across all the jobs.
- — The seashore. A dock that withstands the ice and the changing water level is sturdier than one built for a lake.

07 / FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Inkoo
Didn't find your answer? Call +358 44 724 5824 and let's talk.
Can you look after my cottage while I'm not there? + −
Yes. We agree in advance on how we get onto the property. You'll get photos of every visit and a note if anything needs repairing.
Can you get beyond the Barösund ferry and to the islands? + −
We can drive there via the Barösund ferry. For island sites without road access, transport is agreed case by case, and the time it takes is stated in the quote.
Do you build docks on the seashore? + −
Yes. At sea, the ice moves and the water level changes, so we choose a floating dock or a pile dock with ice protection, depending on the shore.
When should I agree on the visits for the season? + −
In winter or early spring. Spring openings fall on the same weeks for many cottages, so visits agreed early get the first dates.
Will you come to Inkoo for a small job? + −
We will, but it's worth combining a small job with a seasonal visit or other work. That way the travel costs don't end up higher than the job itself.
Do you bring materials to the cottage and take the waste away? + −
Yes. We bring the materials and take the demolition waste and old furniture away. Landfill fees are invoiced at cost per receipt, with no markup.
