BBBAccredited Business
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 La Quinta and the surrounding California communities.
Twenty minutes from Highway 111. The list is long because the house was empty all summer.
A La Quinta list usually opens with a door that sat shut from May to October. In the clubs it is a wall of sliders and French doors to the fairway, rollers ground flat by sand and the pair rubbing where it meets; in the Cove it is a hand-built door in a frame that settled decades ago; in North La Quinta a builder door sagging on light hinges. We re-roller, rehang, true the frame, free or replace the lock that seized over the summer and reseal against the west sun before the first guests land.
Each line is a repair one Kaminskiy-certified technician clears in a single visit from our Palm Desert office on Highway 111. Text the list and we price it before we come.
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 La Quinta repair.
A La Quinta list is the French doors, the slider, the seized lock, the patio slats, the drywall ding and the fan, and in the clubs the outside items have to pass a committee. One technician takes the whole list in a single visit, with the scheme noted, so you make one call from wherever you are and come back to one finished list rather than a stack of cards on the counter.
Text the list and photos and most of it is priced on the phone, item by item, before a truck leaves Highway 111, which is how most of our second-home owners work with us. The number goes to you in writing, you approve it from out of state if that is where you are, and the invoice matches it. No hourly meter, no trip charge per job. A patio cover rebuild or a run of rot gets a look and a written scope first.
La Quinta's Building Division says a permit comes before any building is constructed, enlarged, altered or repaired, with a list of exemptions, and the state residential code it builds to puts ordinary repairs and finish work on that list: no application for a rehung door, a patched wall, a rebuilt jamb, a run of trim or paint. A fence needs no building permit but does need the Planning Division's fence approval, a freestanding patio cover under a small size is exempt, and cutting a structural beam or changing an opening is a permit. We tell you which on the call.
A re-pipe, a slab leak or a gas line goes to a licensed plumber; a panel, a new circuit or rewiring goes to a licensed electrician; a roof goes to a licensed roofer; a structural beam needs an engineer first; and termite treatment is a licensed pest control company's job, after which we rebuild the wood. You hear which line is which when you text the list, not when the truck is at the gate.
The first subdivision in the city, laid out in the 1930s, with adobe casitas from that decade scattered among houses from every decade since, and no association over any of it. Doors bind in frames that settled long ago, wood trim bakes on the mountain side, and the additions were built by hand to no standard but the builder's. We save the original where it can be saved and splice and match what cannot, and because the 1930s casitas sit in a city historic district, a change to the front of one gets checked before anything bigger than a repair.
Villas and estates behind a gate, under an architectural committee, most of them second homes and many of them rentals in season. The list is heavy entry doors, French doors and sliders to the fairway, shared patio covers with split slats, caulk and drywall inside, grab bars in Trilogy and the railing and board carpentry where the units stack. We match the club's scheme, put the scope in writing and work from the gate code and the lockbox.
Family tracts from the 1990s and 2000s, lived in year-round, with builder doors at the age where hinges sag and rollers wear, hollow-core interior doors, knockdown texture to match around a patch and a pool gate that stopped latching. Predictable work in a predictable order, and cheaper when it is caught before the summer heat finishes the job.
Text or call 760-284-6993 with pictures of the French doors, the slider, the lock and the patio slats. We answer in under three rings and go through the list with you from wherever you are.
Most La Quinta lists are priced on that call and sent in writing, with the club's color noted where the outside is involved. You approve it from wherever you are before anything is scheduled.
A technician leaves Highway 111 with rollers, hinges, locksets, patch material, primed slats and the parts the list named, lets himself in with the gate code and the lockbox and works the list end to end.
You get a picture of each finished item, the old parts leave with us, and the one-year workmanship warranty is on the invoice at the price you approved.
California allows an unlicensed repair only below a small set amount, with no permit involved and nobody employed on the job; a seasonal home's list is past that line by the second item, so the law wants a licensed contractor. Kaminskiy Care and Repair holds License #1106209, is bonded and insured, sends Kaminskiy-certified, background checked employees rather than subcontractors, and puts every job over the state's written-contract threshold on paper first, which an owner can sign from anywhere.
The city's rule is that a permit comes before any structure is built, enlarged, altered or repaired, with exemptions, and the state residential code supplies them: ordinary repairs need no application and painting and similar finish work is exempt, so a door rehung, a wall patched, a jamb rebuilt or a slat replaced needs none. A fence needs the Planning Division's approval rather than a building permit, a small freestanding patio cover is exempt, and a structural beam or a changed opening is a permit. We sort the list into those piles on the call.
PGA West, La Quinta Country Club, Rancho La Quinta and the other gated communities review anything that changes the outside of a house; a repair painted to the scheme rarely needs a form, a new door style or color does, and we write up the materials and finish for it. Where the units stack, the association carries California's balcony inspection law and the carpentry it flags is our lane. The Cove has no association, but its 1930s casitas sit in a city historic district, so a change to the front of one gets a call to the city first.
Twenty minutes from our office. Your La Quinta crew dispatches from our Palm Desert office at 74-710 Highway 111, open every day 8 to 8, so a second-home list is usually on the calendar within days. Call 760-284-6993, text photos, or send the form.
Can't find your answer? Call 760-284-6993 and ask us anything.
Call 760-284-6993Yes, and for a second home it has to. Text the list: the French doors, the slider, the lock, the patio slats, the drywall ding and the fan. One technician works it on the empty day, one written price, one invoice, and a photo of each item when it is done.
A short list. Re-pipes, slab leaks and gas lines belong to a licensed plumber, panels and rewiring to a licensed electrician, a roof to a licensed roofer, a structural beam to an engineer, and termite treatment to a licensed pest control company before we rebuild the wood. We name the line when you send the list.
We answer in under three rings and price most of the list on that call, from your photos. The crew starts the day on Highway 111 in Palm Desert, twenty minutes away and open every day, so a list in the Cove or at PGA West is usually scheduled within days, and we work from the gate code and a lockbox when you are not here.
The list sets it, and the number reaches you before the truck leaves Highway 111. Text photos and most items get a written price on the phone, item by item, which you can approve from wherever you are. The price you approved is the price on the invoice. No hourly meter, no trip charge per job.
Yes, in writing. The one-year workmanship warranty is on the invoice, the technician is a Kaminskiy-certified, background checked employee, and Kaminskiy Care and Repair is a licensed, bonded and insured California contractor (License #1106209), which matters when you are approving work from another state.
Yes, that is a normal La Quinta week. The city has more than a thousand permitted short-term rentals and the clubs turn over weekly in season. Give us the checkout and check-in days and the list, and the technician works it on the empty day with photos to you or the manager when it is finished.
All of La Quinta from our Palm Desert office: the Cove, Old Town, PGA West, La Quinta Country Club, Rancho La Quinta, The Citrus, Santa Rosa Cove, Trilogy and North La Quinta, plus Indian Wells, Indio, Palm Desert and Bermuda Dunes. Call 760-284-6993 to confirm your address.
