Three offices, one standard. Kaminskiy Care and Repair runs Bay Area renovation projects from Walnut Creek for the East Bay, Sunnyvale for the South Bay and Redwood City for the Peninsula: kitchen and bathroom refreshes with new fixtures installed, floors and paint through a house that just changed hands, a rental turned over between tenants, the carpentry on a balcony inspection report, an Eichler brought up to date by people who know what not to touch. Each project gets a written scope and a single crew. If the plan moves walls or plumbing it is a remodel, and we say so before anyone drives out. Call 855-695-1195.
Refreshes and multi-day projects, priced in writing from the nearest of our three offices.
Take a 1962 Walnut Creek ranch kitchen: the layout is right and everything on it is tired. New counters, a backsplash, hardware and a floor change the room without changing the footprint, and that is a refresh. Put several rooms on one schedule and it is a project: the Concord rental turned over, the balcony report cleared for a Pleasanton association, floors and paint through a Mountain View house in the two weeks before the movers. Move a wall, a drain or the panel and it is a remodel, which a licensed general contractor should design and build, and we say which one you have on the first call.
AFTERBEFOREAny of these becomes one written scope from the nearest of our three offices. Call 855-695-1195. A single room takes days; a whole-house project comes with a schedule you approve before it starts.
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.
Refresh: same layout, new surfaces, fixtures and finishes. Project: several refreshes on one schedule, or one repair that runs more than a few days, a pre-move-in house, a turnover, a balcony report. Remodel: walls, plumbing or electrical move. Across the Bay Area the first two are our work and the third goes to a licensed general contractor we name on the call.
Labor is most of the cost here, so a kitchen that keeps its sink, range and fridge in place, with no permit and no trade work, costs a fraction of a remodel of the same room, whether it is in Danville or San Mateo. Every item is priced on paper before a date is set.
Repairs and rot, then paint, then floors, then fixtures and hardware, then trim. In Lafayette and Orinda the shaded wall is wet more often than anyone expects, so we open it before the flooring is ordered, not after it is laid. Out of order, each trade damages the last.
One room at a time, floors protected, dust walled off, tools gone from the hall at night. A pre-move-in project runs in an empty house with the trades back to back. In a lived-in kitchen you keep a sink and a working stove every evening.
Ranch houses and Eichlers from the 1950s and 1960s in the Diablo Valley and under the Lamorinda oaks, larger stucco homes from the 1970s on in the San Ramon Valley and the Tri-Valley. Projects here are kitchens and baths refreshed in the original footprint, floors and paint through a house that just sold, and the balcony and walkway carpentry the inspection law puts on a condo association's list. Run from our Walnut Creek office.
Prewar bungalows on the old streets, 1950s and 1960s tracts, and townhome communities with associations and shared balconies. The projects are turnovers between tenants, kitchens brought up to date with the layout kept, and the whole-house paint and floors buyers want finished before they move in. Run from our Redwood City office.
Willow Glen and Rose Garden houses from before the war, the postwar tracts of Cambrian and West San Jose, the Eichler streets off Meridian, and the hillside associations in Almaden and Evergreen. Kitchens and baths refreshed in place, floors over slab, popcorn ceilings taken down, the Eichler kept an Eichler. Run from our Sunnyvale office.
A new floor plan, a wall opened, a kitchen relocated, an addition or an accessory dwelling unit: a licensed general contractor designs and builds that, with the engineer and the permits it needs. Say what you want on the first call and we tell you which kind of job it is before the call ends, so two companies are not bidding to find out.
California requires inspections of decks, balconies, stairs and walkways on apartment buildings with three or more units, and condominium associations have their own version. A licensed inspector or engineer writes the report. The joists, railings, boards and waterproofing it lists are our carpentry, permitted through the city and documented for the board.
A house in San Mateo, Concord or Mountain View changes hands and the owners have a fortnight. Floors, paint, a bath refresh and the inspection list become one scope, run back to back in the empty house, so the first night is spent in a finished one. We walk it the day escrow closes.
Rancho San Miguel, the Meridian streets and the Palo Alto tracts were built with radiant slabs, post-and-beam ceilings and mahogany panels. A refresh keeps those: new counters and fixtures in the existing footprint, panels repaired and matched, floors chosen for a radiant slab, nothing done that the next owner will have to undo.
Tell us what you want to change. Small refreshes are priced on the call. A multi-room project gets a walk-through from our Peninsula office within days.
Every room, every item, every finish on paper. You pick the fixtures, tile and colors, or we bring options. Nothing is ordered until you sign off.
Repairs first, then paint, floors, fixtures, trim. The same technicians through the whole Bay Area job, and a licensed trade brought in for the wiring or plumbing when the scope needs one.
We walk every room with you, leave the house clean, and every item carries our one-year workmanship warranty, on paper.
California lets anyone take a repair job under a set small amount without a license, as long as it needs no permit. A renovation project crosses that line on the first day. Kaminskiy Care and Repair holds a California contractor license (License #1120648), carries the insurance, and puts every project on a written home improvement contract before it starts, with the scope, the schedule and the price on it, which the state requires of any job that size.
Every Bay Area city builds to the state residential code, which treats painting, floor covering and cabinet work as finish work and a fixture in the same place as a repair, and each counter reads it its own way. San Jose publishes its exempt list, with painting, sheetrock, cabinets, countertops and floor finishes on it. Walnut Creek and Danville read the rule strictly, Concord lists decks and windows as permit work, Redwood City and Palo Alto keep their own sheets. The permit question starts when plumbing or wiring moves, a wall comes out or an opening changes, and balcony and stair repairs are permitted work everywhere. We tell you which desk your address answers to on the walk-through.
The 2025 state fire map put parts of Lafayette, Danville, Concord and the South Bay foothills in the high and very high zones, where a new exterior door, eave or deck may have to meet the wildfire standard, so we ask before an exterior item changes. The planned streets from Rossmoor to Ruby Hill and the hillside communities answer to an association, which has nothing to say about an interior refresh and plenty about a new front door color. Condo associations with three or more attached units carry California's balcony inspection law, and once the report names a railing or a joist that repair is on a clock.
Three offices, one standard. The East Bay crew works from Walnut Creek, the South Bay crew from Sunnyvale and the Peninsula crew from Redwood City, seven days a week. Call 855-695-1195 with the rooms or the photos and the nearest office takes it from there. The whole county is on our Bay Area handyman page.
Can't find your answer? Call 855-695-1195 and ask us anything.
Call 855-695-1195If nothing moves, it is a renovation: counters, a vanity, floors, paint, trim and hardware in the layout you have. If walls, plumbing or wiring move, it is a remodel. A Bay Area kitchen that works but looks fifty years old is the first, at a fraction of the cost; a kitchen you want relocated is the second, and a licensed general contractor is who we name on the call.
By the finishes you choose and the labor it takes, never by the square foot. One room is usually priced from photos and a short call. Several rooms get a walk-through from the nearest office and a written scope that lists every item, and nothing is ordered until you approve it. Call 855-695-1195 and we begin there.
Yes. Paint, floors, fixtures, trim, doors, cabinets and the repairs behind them are all trades we carry, so one crew works the list in order on one schedule. A scope that needs a licensed electrician or plumber gets one, on the right day, coordinated by us, and you still make one call.
Rarely. Every Bay Area city treats painting, floor covering and cabinet work as finish work and a fixture in the same place as a repair. The permit begins when plumbing or wiring moves, a wall comes out or an opening changes, and for balcony and stair repairs. Each city reads that line its own way, so we tell you on the walk-through and pull the permit when it is needed.
Once the fixtures are on site, a hall bath with a new vanity, faucet, toilet, shower door, fan and paint runs a few working days; tile and a shower rebuild add more. The written scope carries the schedule, and we do not promise a date before seeing the room.
The inspection and the report are the licensed inspector's or engineer's, as the law requires. The railings, boards, joists and waterproofing the report names are repaired by Kaminskiy Care and Repair, permitted through the city and documented for the association. Send the report and we price from it.
