Real Findings

What we find at altitude.

Three categories of findings, in the order they escalate. Each one photographed on an actual Summit County property. Each one has a dollar figure attached.

Cosmetic Finding

Estimated repair

Repair cost: $800–$1,400

Surface Checking in Exposed Log Ends

End-grain checking is normal on exterior log ends exposed to repeated wetting and drying. Most buyers see it and panic. Most inspectors note it and move on. The question is whether checking has allowed moisture ingress that's traveling inward.

Field Finding

Moisture readings of 24% at 3-inch depth on south-facing log ends. Acceptable surface. No structural compromise.

Outcome

Recommend sealant reapplication within 18 months. No price adjustment warranted.

Inspection Method

Pin-type moisture meter at 5 test points per log course. Compared to interior baseline readings.

Equipment Used

Tramex Encounter Plus Moisture Meter

Non-destructive deep-penetration reading without drilling

We were buying from Austin, sight-unseen. Summit's report caught a failed septic distribution box and chimney flashing separation that would have cost us $29,000. We got a $22,000 credit at close. The report paid for itself forty times over.

I've used Summit on four transactions this year. Every agent in Frisco knows the report won't hide problems — but it also won't list cosmetic wear as a structural defect. That balance is what keeps deals alive and clients trusting me.

First-time cabin buyer. I didn't know what I didn't know. The pre-inspection checklist alone was worth it — I brought it to the showing and asked questions I never would have thought of. When we went under contract, booking was fifteen minutes.
