GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Log removal
*Epilogue LLC is primarily a sawmill operation. Technically our Woodmizer bandsaw mill is portable however we have made it a stationary machine so logs need to come to the mill. We prefer to have logs delivered to us if at all possible as we are not a tree service. However, in certain cases we can pick up logs for a fee. Please read over our terms so you know any possible risks.
*Epilogue LLC will use caution when removing logs from property owner’s land but cannot guarantee no minor damage will occur to ground, lawn or adjacent plants.
*Epilogue LLC will attempt to minimize scratches of concrete, asphalt and all other surfaces but cannot be held responsible for scrapes or scratches when saw logs are removed from site.
*Logs can be heavy and stress from operating equipment on concrete can cause cracking. Epilogue LLC will use caution to avoid cracking to surfaces but cannot be held responsible if this occurs.
*Removal of logs from property can be dangerous. Clients enter work space at their own risk.
Custom Milling
*We charge by the hour to mill logs into lumber. We can provide rough estimates over the phone or in writing but every project is different. The final bill may be less or more than our estimate. Client is responsible for paying final bill.
*We do not store logs. All logs delivered by customer will be milled at the same time.
*Urban trees sometimes have metal in them. Epilogue LLC will attempt to avoid hitting metal using a metal detector and look for evidence such as staining.
