How we work in Raasepori

Zone: Cottages

  • — Eastern Raasepori is the closest. Mustio, Pinjainen, Pohja and Karjaa are a shorter drive than Tammisaari and the archipelago, and this shows in the travel costs.
  • — Travel costs: stated in the quote before the work starts, and never added afterwards.
  • — Archipelago: for sites without road access, transport is agreed case by case.

Do you come all the way to Tammisaari? + −

We come for agreed seasonal visits and larger jobs, like docks and terraces. It's worth combining a single small job with a seasonal visit, so the travel costs don't end up higher than the job itself.

Can I agree on the whole season at once? + −

Yes, and for cottages it's the way that works best. Opening in spring, the summer visits and closing in fall are agreed in one go, and the price for the season is stated in advance.

Yes. We go through the site with you and make a list: roof washing, clearing the yard, removing old structures, taking the waste away and small repairs. You get a price estimate before we start.

Do you build docks on the sea and on lakes? + −

Yes. The bottom, the depth and the ice decide whether we build a pile dock or a floating dock. On the seashore, the ice protection is designed for moving ice.

Do you look after a 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.
