Most of Burbank went up in the 1940s and 1950s, and the doors have worked for seventy summers: entry doors that sag on three tired hinges, hollow-core interiors split or punched through, sliders added in the 1970s dragging on dead rollers, and in the Rancho, barn and tack-room doors off their track. We rehang, reseal, re-roller and install, ten minutes from the office.

THE LISTALL DONEShort jobs, all of them, for a Kaminskiy-certified technician who works Burbank every week from our office in Glendale. One list, one call.
We answer in under three rings and get you priced and scheduled in minutes.
A clear, written quote with upfront pricing. You approve before work begins.
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.
Postwar bungalows and ranch homes with original doors, lap siding, wood-sash windows and the first generation of drywall. Doors sag, siding rots from the bottom course up where the planters sit, sills go soft, and the garage-to-house door stopped closing on its own. We rehang, rebuild, replace the courses that went and match the paint.
Horse properties with barns, tack rooms, corrals, wash racks and wood posts that are hosed down daily and leaned on. Barn and stable doors on tracks, corral rails, post bases, gate hardware and the house doors behind them are the regular calls, and one visit with a stocked truck covers the barn and the house together.
Larger 1950s to 1970s homes on slope lots with decks, balconies, French doors and sliders to the view. Deck boards, railing posts where the hillside drains past them, slider rollers and the hairline over a door from a little slope movement, with the fire-zone rule checked before an exterior door or a vent changes.
Heat and age. Burbank summers are among the hottest in the county, so caulk, paint and weatherstrip fail first on the south and west faces, then the wood behind them, and most homes on the flats have been standing since the 1940s and 1950s with the original doors, frames and siding. Add a sprinkler on the jamb and a planter against the siding and the list writes itself. Small jobs, cheaper caught early.
Doors, drywall, siding, trim, fences, decks, patio covers, rot, caulk and fixtures are ours. The roof, the electrical panel, a re-pipe or a gas line and anything structural go to the licensed specialty trade, and we name it on the call. Termite treatment belongs to the licensed pest company; the rebuild of what the termites ate is handyman carpentry.
Most Burbank repairs are priced on the call, in writing, from a description or a photo, before anything is scheduled. A patio cover, a barn, a rebuilt frame or a bathroom refresh gets a look first and a written scope. What you approve is what you pay, and the warranty is in writing.
A lot of Burbank works odd hours, so we do too: the office is open every day from eight to eight, the list can come by text with photos, we can work from a lockbox or with whoever is home, and we send pictures when each item is done. One running list means nothing gets started twice.
The sticking door, the drywall hole, the gate that drags. Call or text it over and we price it on the call, in writing.
Hinges, strikes, weatherstrip, anchors, compound, fasteners and the common parts ride on the truck, so one visit usually clears the list.
Anything that needs opening a wall, rebuilding a frame or matching a finish gets a look and a written price before we start.
We tidy up, walk you through what was done, and the one-year workmanship warranty is in writing.
California lets anyone take a small repair below a set amount without a license, provided it needs no permit and no employees; past that line the state wants a licensed contractor, and a Burbank list with a door swap and a rotted sill on it is past it. Kaminskiy Care and Repair holds License #1106209, is bonded and insured, and its technicians are Kaminskiy-certified and background checked. Anything over the written-contract threshold is on paper first.
Burbank keeps its own section of work exempt from a permit in its building code and its Building Division hands out a sheet of common projects that need none. The state residential code the city builds to asks for no application for ordinary repairs to a structure and exempts painting and similar finish work: a rehung door, a patched wall, a rebuilt sill, a run of siding. The line is cutting a structural beam or a load-bearing support, or enlarging an opening, and we check the city's sheet before a bigger job rather than guess.
Most of Burbank has no association; a few condo and townhome communities do, and they approve exterior changes. On the hillside the city asks for a Hillside Development Permit before an addition or a remodel in the designated hillside area, and a repair that matches what is there is not that. In the Rancho a shared fence or a barn wall is worth agreeing with the neighbor first, and we put the materials and finish in writing for it.

Describe the job or text a photo and the price comes on the call, in writing, before anything is scheduled. A patio cover, a barn, a rebuilt frame or a bathroom refresh gets a look first and a written scope. There is no mystery fee waiting at the house.
Yes. The sagging door, the punched bedroom door, the siding course and the gate latch go on one list, and one Kaminskiy-certified technician with a stocked truck works through it. Special-order parts get scheduled before we leave.

Not ordinary repairs or finish work: the code Burbank builds to asks for no application for an ordinary repair and exempts painting and similar work, and the city's own exempt-work sheet says the same for common projects. Cutting a structural member or enlarging an opening is where we check with the city first.
Every week. Barn and stable doors on new track and rollers, corral rails, wash-rack planks, gate latches, post bases on standoffs and the house doors behind them, priced on the call and done in one visit where the parts allow.
