Kaminskiy Care and Repair is a licensed, insured handyman company whose background checked employees handle the whole home to do list, doors first. Calls are answered in under three rings, and most jobs are priced and scheduled in under 10 minutes. We serve Mountain View and the surrounding California communities.
One exit from our office. Bungalow doors, Eichler sliders and the move-in list start the Mountain View list.
Mountain View has three kinds of door on its list. Near Castro Street the heavy 1920s bungalow doors swell in the winter rain and bind in their settled frames. In Monta Loma the Eichler sliders grind on wheels that wore out decades ago, and the flush front doors have to keep the look. In Cuesta Park the ranch-house French doors rub in the middle when the clay moves. We plane and rehang the old ones, re-roller the sliders, true the frames and swap hollow-core doors for solid.
Every line is a repair a Kaminskiy-certified technician clears in one visit from our Sunnyvale office, one exit away. Save the list, or the move-in list, and make one call.
Priced and on the calendar during the first call.
A written quote you approve before anyone drives out.
One crew, the whole list, warranty in writing.
A one-year workmanship warranty, in writing, on every Mountain View repair.
A Mountain View list is the swollen bungalow door, the Eichler slider, the nail holes from the last tenant, the porch post and the association's railing letter. One technician takes the whole list in one visit from one exit away, so you make a single call and the list, or the move-in list, is finished before the furniture arrives.
Call or text photos and most of the list is priced on the phone, item by item, before a truck leaves Murphy Avenue. You get it in writing, approve it, and the invoice shows the same number. No hourly billing, no trip charge for each item. A post or a sill that is worse inside than it looked is priced before we open more of it.
Mountain View publishes its own page of projects that need no permit: painting, tiling, cabinets and similar finish work outside a kitchen or bathroom remodel, wood fences to seven feet, a small detached deck, stopping a leak or clearing a stoppage. The planning side exempts ordinary repairs when an exterior repair uses the same materials and design as the original. The state code adds that an ordinary repair needs no application. Cutting a structural beam or enlarging an opening is a permit, and we say so on the call.
A re-pipe, a concealed pipe, a sewer line or a gas line goes to a licensed plumber; a panel, a new circuit or rewiring goes to a licensed electrician; a beam that carries the roof waits for an engineer; termite treatment is a licensed pest control company's job, and the rebuild after it is ours; a glass panel, Eichler walls included, goes to a glazier. You hear which line is which on the call.
Bungalows and cottages from the 1900s to the 1940s with heavy wood doors, wood siding, porches and plaster walls, some on the city's register of historic resources. The winter rain swells the doors, the frames have settled, porch posts and sills rot where they meet the soil, and the plaster cracks reopen. We keep the original door, splice sound wood into the old post, patch the plaster so it stays patched, and check the register before anything on the front changes.
Larger 1950s to 1970s ranch houses with redwood siding and stucco, French doors and sliders to the yard, decks and long fence lines under mature trees. The list is rollers and hinges, deck boards and railings, fascia where the sprinklers reach, a redwood siding split, and the crack over the door that the valley clay opens every dry season, all patched and matched to the house.
Eichlers with glass walls, flat roofs and radiant slabs, compact tract houses, and the newer townhome and condo communities near the campuses, most in associations and many rented. Eichler sliders on the right new wheels, a flush front door that keeps the look, hollow-core doors swapped for solid, railing and trim items from the balcony inspection, and the turnover list between tenants, with photos when done.
Call 408-916-4022 or text pictures of the door, the slider, the post and the crack, or send the whole move-in list. We answer in under three rings and go through it with you.
Most Mountain View lists are priced on the call and sent in writing. You approve before anything is scheduled.
A technician comes one exit up from Sunnyvale with Eichler wheels, hinges, patch material, primed redwood and the parts the list asked for, and works it from the porch to the back deck in one visit.
Old parts and dust leave with us, the paint matches the house, and the one-year workmanship warranty is on the invoice at the approved price.
California exempts a repair from the contractor license only below a small set amount, when no permit is needed and nobody is employed on the job; the rest of a Mountain View list, the slider, the rotted sill, the deck railing, the door swap, wants a licensed contractor. Kaminskiy Care and Repair holds License #1106209, is bonded and insured, sends Kaminskiy-certified, background checked employees, and writes up every job over the state's contract threshold before the first visit.
The city's own list of projects that need no permit is built on the state codes: painting, papering, tiling, carpeting, cabinets, countertops and similar finish work, unless it is part of a kitchen or bathroom remodel, where a cabinet replacement does take a permit; wood fences to seven feet; a small detached deck; a shed to 120 square feet; stopping a leak or clearing a stoppage. The planning side exempts ordinary repairs and maintenance when an exterior repair uses the original materials and design, and exterior paint on a single-family house or duplex needs no planning approval. The state code's line is a structural beam, a load-bearing support or an enlarged opening, which is a permit.
Mountain View rents more of its homes than most South Bay cities, and many of its older apartments sit under the city's rent stabilization program, which keeps habitability repairs on the owner's list; we work them between tenants with the manager's key and send photos when done. A house on the city's register of historic resources gets a review before the front changes. Most single-family streets have no association; the townhome and condo communities do, approving exterior doors and colors, and the balcony inspection law puts the railing and board carpentry their reports flag on our list.
One exit from our office. Your Mountain View crew dispatches from our South Bay office on Murphy Avenue in downtown Sunnyvale, one exit up the 85 or the 237, so a move-in list or a weekend list is usually on the calendar within days. Call 408-916-4022, text a photo, or send the form.

Can't find your answer? Call 408-916-4022 and ask us anything.
Call 408-916-4022Yes, and a move-in list is the clearest example. Send the whole thing, nail holes to the slider, and one technician works it top to bottom in one visit from one exit away. One trip, one written price and one invoice, and the list is done before the boxes are unpacked.
A short list, spelled out before the visit. Re-pipes, concealed pipes, sewer lines and gas lines go to a licensed plumber, panels and rewiring to a licensed electrician, a beam that carries the roof to an engineer, and termite treatment to a licensed pest control company before we rebuild the wood. We say which on the call.
We answer in under three rings and price most of the list on the call. The crew starts the day in Sunnyvale, one exit away, so a Mountain View list is usually scheduled within days, and a short one often fits the same week.
The list is the price, and you hear it before anyone leaves Sunnyvale. Call or text photos and most items are priced on the phone, in writing, one by one. You approve it, and that is the price on the invoice. No hourly billing and no per-job trip charge.
Yes. Every repair carries a one-year workmanship warranty in writing and is done by a Kaminskiy-certified, background checked employee. Kaminskiy Care and Repair holds California contractor License #1106209 and is bonded and insured.
Usually, yes. The frames are sound; the wheels are what wore out. We fit the wheels made for the door, clean and true the track, adjust the height so the glass wall stops rattling, and replace the latch and the weatherstrip. If the frame is bent or the glass has to come out, that is a glazier's job, and we tell you on the call.
