Sawmilling
Services
Based in Cambridge, Vermont, the Sugarmaker’s Mill offers affordable, portable sawmilling services to residents and small business owners of Northern Vermont.
Base
Cost
$400
In order to ensure I can break even setting up the mill, there is a $400 minimum cost to operate.
This includes transporting the mill to any accessible site within 30 miles of my shop and 3 hours of milling. The more help you can provide, generally the faster I will be able to mill.
All customers are welcome to ask me to post their lumber for sale on my website, at no cost.
Travel
Cost
$2/Mile
Are you further than 30 miles from my shop in Cambridge? There is a $2 per mile one way travel fee for every mile above 30 miles.
Example: If you are in Irasburg, 42 miles from my shop in Cambridge, there will be a $24 travel fee for the job, in addition to the $400 base cost.
Hourly
Rate
$125
Anything over 3 hours of milling (included in the package cost) will be charged at a flat rate of $125 per hour.
The better you stage your logs and/or the more helping hands you can provide, the faster the lumber will come off the mill! If desired, I can provide another set of hands for an additional $30/hour. This is well worth the cost, as it allows me to keep the mill running, potentially saving hours of mill runtime and the higher cost associated with it.
