Beverly Hills doors are heavy, old and open all day: solid 1920s entries on the Spanish and Mediterranean homes in the flats, walls of French doors to irrigated gardens, service doors on every side yard, and big glass on the mid-century houses in Trousdale. We rehang them on hinges sized for the weight, realign the pairs, rebuild the frames the sprinklers rotted and keep the original finish.

Kaminskiy-certified pros finish the job with a workmanship warranty.
Every job is backed in writing by our workmanship warranty and done by a Kaminskiy-certified, background checked technician.
Spanish, Tudor and Colonial homes from the 1920s and 1930s with solid entry doors, wood-sash windows, plaster walls and gardens watered every morning. The sill corners and the eave above the hedge go first, the French doors sag and rub, the heavy entry needs hinges sized for it. We rehang, rebuild the sills to shed water and match the finish the house has carried for ninety years.
Smaller 1920s to 1940s homes and duplexes on tighter lots, many changing hands, so the termite report and the inspection list drive the work: fascia behind the gutters, jamb bottoms at the slab, doors that bind as the house settles, the bath that needs regrouting before the open house. We clear the list and the pest company reinspects.
Mid-century post-and-beam homes with beam ends, flat fascias, decks and big glass open to the sun, on hillside lots in the very high fire hazard zone. The paint checks, the rain follows it into the end grain, frames rack as the hill settles. We splice beam ends to the profile, true the frames and check the fire rule before any exterior door changes.
Water in the flats, sun in the hills, and age everywhere. The gardens between Santa Monica and Sunset are irrigated daily and the hedges hold the damp against the wood, so immaculate houses lose their sill corners and their jamb bottoms. Up in Trousdale the 1950s and 1960s beam ends and fascias bake until the paint lets go. The jobs are small when they are caught early and most of what we fix here waited a season.
Doors, hinges, plaster, drywall, trim, sills, fences, decks, rot, caulk and fixtures are handyman work. A roof, an electrical panel, a gas line, a re-pipe or a beam that carries the roof goes to the licensed specialty trade, and we say so before anything starts. Termite treatment is the licensed pest company's; rebuilding the wood they ate is ours.
Describe the job or text a photo and most Beverly Hills repairs are priced on the call, in writing, before anything is booked. A long list on a larger house, a rebuilt beam end or a guest-bath refresh gets a walk-through first and a written scope, item by item. What you approve is what you pay.
A good share of our Beverly Hills work comes through a house manager, an estate assistant or a property manager. The list arrives by text or email, it is priced in writing, we schedule around the household and the gardeners, send photos as each item is done and keep one running list so nothing is started twice.
Tell us the list, or text a photo of the worst item. Most small repairs are priced on the call, in writing, in under ten minutes.
A Kaminskiy-certified technician comes with a stocked truck and works through the list in one visit wherever the parts allow.
A door swap, a rotted frame or a bathroom refresh gets a visit and a written scope before anything starts. No surprises at the house.
The work area is left clean and every repair carries our one-year workmanship warranty, on paper.
Under California law a repair below a small set amount may be done without a license, provided it needs no permit and no one is employed to do it; beyond that the state requires a licensed contractor, and a Beverly Hills list lands there by the second item: a rehung entry door, a rotted sill, a deck railing. Kaminskiy Care and Repair is licensed (License #1106209), bonded and insured, with Kaminskiy-certified, background-checked technicians, and anything over the state's written-contract threshold is on paper before the first visit.
Beverly Hills keeps its own list of work exempt from a permit and builds to the California codes with local amendments. The state residential code it builds to needs no application for ordinary repairs to a structure and exempts painting and similar finish work, which is where a rehung door, a patched wall, a rebuilt sill or a run of trim falls; it draws the line at cutting a structural beam or a load-bearing support. The city's list is strict, so before a bigger job we check it rather than quote it.
Most of Beverly Hills has no association; the city's own rules do that work. A landmark, or a contributing house in a historic district, needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Cultural Heritage Commission before the outside changes, and a repair that keeps the profile, the material and the finish is what the ordinance protects. North of Sunset the hillside is in the very high fire hazard zone, and the 2025 map reaches further, so a new exterior door up there is checked against the wildfire standard first.
Our office is on Wilshire in Beverly Hills. The crew starts the day at 8383 Wilshire Boulevard, so a Beverly Hills call is usually on the calendar within days and a technician can look the same week. Call 310-928-6211, text a photo, or send the form. The whole Westside is on our Los Angeles handyman page.
Can't find your answer? Call 310-928-6211 and ask us anything.
Call 310-928-6211Faster than anywhere else we serve: the office is at 8383 Wilshire, minutes from the flats and a short climb to Trousdale. We answer in under three rings, price most repairs on the call and usually have a technician at the house within days.
Send the list or a photo and the price comes back in writing before anything is scheduled. The profile a repair has to match sets more of the price here than anywhere: a plain door swap and a milled 1920s sill are not the same visit. A long list gets a walk-through and a written scope, item by item.
That is how a lot of our Beverly Hills work runs. The list comes by text or email, we price it in writing, schedule around the household and the gardeners, send photos as each item is finished and keep one running list so nothing is started twice.
For a small cosmetic job either works; for a rehung entry door, a rotted sill or a deck railing California wants a licensed contractor. Kaminskiy Care and Repair holds License #1106209, is bonded and insured, and every technician is Kaminskiy-certified and background checked, so you do not sort the list by who is allowed to do what.
The city keeps its own exempt-work list and we check it rather than quote it. The state code it builds to asks for no application for an ordinary repair or finish work, which covers a rehung door, a patched wall or a rebuilt sill; cutting a structural beam or a load-bearing support is past that line and gets a permit and an engineer, which we tell you on the call.
Yes. A repair that keeps the profile, the material and the finish is maintenance of the thing the preservation ordinance protects, and we photograph before and after so the file shows it. A changed detail on the street face goes to the Cultural Heritage Commission first, and we say so before anything is ordered.
