Huntington Beach grew tenfold in the 1960s, so most of its doors are sixty years old, and the ones near the water have salt in the hinges and sand in the slider tracks. We rehang and seal, fit stainless hardware that stands up to the spray, replace the rollers, rebuild the jamb at the threshold and install the door you bought.

THE LISTALL DONESix regular Huntington Beach calls, all handled by a Kaminskiy-certified technician who carries stainless hardware on the truck. Make the list, call once.
Priced and on the calendar during the first call.
A written quote you approve before anyone drives out.
One crew, truck stocked, warranty in writing.
A one-year workmanship warranty, in writing, on every Huntington Beach job.
Beach cottages and rebuilt lots with wood siding and redwood trim, and the Harbour's waterfront homes with wide sliders, decks and railings over the channels. Salt seizes the hardware, fog keeps the sills damp, sand fills the tracks. We fit stainless hinges and locks, re-roller the sliders, seal the end grain and rebuild the deck boards and sills that went soft.
Single-story stucco homes with wood fascia, open-beam patio covers, original sliders and hollow-core doors, most of them sixty years old and mostly without an association. Entry doors sag, frames soften at the threshold, beam ends check, and the texture never matched the last patch. We rehang, rebuild and match what is there.
Association streets of 1980s to 2000s homes with foam trim, approved door styles and the condo associations that carry the balcony inspection law. The work is adjustment, hardware, wood-clad sills, balcony trim and the deck details, photographed and matched so the repair passes the board's eye.
Salt first, then age. Near the pier and the Harbour the salt film eats hardware and paint and the morning fog keeps the wood damp till noon. East of Beach Boulevard the houses went up in a single decade and are wearing out together: fascia, sliders, doors, patio covers, all original, all tired at once. Small jobs, cheap when they are caught the first year.
Doors, sliders, drywall, trim, siding, fences, decks, rot, caulk and fixtures are handyman work. A roof, an electrical panel, a re-pipe or anything that holds the house up goes to the licensed specialty trade, and a deck that hangs over the channel gets named before anyone opens it. Termite treatment is the licensed pest company's; the rebuild is ours.
Most Huntington Beach jobs are priced on the call, in writing, from your description or a photo, before anything is scheduled. A rebuilt frame, a channel-side deck or a bathroom refresh gets a look first and a written scope. What you approve is what you pay, Downtown or on the Brookhurst streets.
The beach-street slider is the most common Huntington Beach call we get. Sand grinds the rollers flat, salt corrodes the latch, and the door jumps the track or takes two hands. New stainless rollers, a cleaned and trued track and a coated latch bring it back for years; we do not replace the glass itself, and we tell you when a slider is past saving.
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.
A small repair under a set amount can be done in California without a license when no permit is needed and nobody is employed to do it; a door swap, a railing run or a rebuilt sill crosses that line and wants a licensed contractor. Kaminskiy Care and Repair is one (License #1106209), bonded and insured, with Kaminskiy-certified, background-checked technicians, and every job over the state's written-contract threshold goes on paper before it starts.
Huntington Beach publishes its own list of work exempt from a permit: painting, papering, tiling, cabinets and similar finish work; decks and platforms not more than thirty inches above grade; replacement doors and windows when the waterproofing is not altered; fences to six feet. A rehung door, a patched wall, a rebuilt sill or a run of trim is ordinary repair under the state code the city builds to. Framing, an enlarged opening or a home in the floodplain overlay, where the exemptions do not apply, is where we ask the Building Division first.
Repair and maintenance of an existing home are exempt from a coastal permit on the beach streets, and the city has no very high fire hazard zone on the 2025 map. Most of the older tracts have no association; Seacliff, Brightwater and the Harbour communities do, and we put the materials in writing for the form. Homes built before 1978 may carry lead paint under the newer coats, which a certified lead-safe painter handles; if a repair means disturbing an old painted surface we tell you first and work lead-safe around it.

Usually. The slider, the salt-seized lock, the doorknob holes, the fan and the caulk go on one list, and one Kaminskiy-certified technician with a stocked truck works through it between tenants. Special-order parts get scheduled before we leave.
Sand has ground the rollers flat and the track is pitted, and the salt has usually got the latch too. We fit new stainless rollers, clean and true the track and replace the latch, and the door rolls with one hand again. If the frame itself is bent or rotted we tell you so on the call.
Yes. License #1106209 is the company's California contractor license, the bond and the insurance sit behind it, and the technician who comes is Kaminskiy-certified and background checked. Every repair carries a one-year workmanship warranty in writing.
Not finish work, an ordinary repair, a deck under thirty inches or a replacement door that leaves the waterproofing alone, which are on the city's own exempt list. Framing, an enlarged opening or a home in the floodplain overlay is where we ask the Building Division first and tell you what it said.
