BBBAccredited BusinessKaminskiy Care and Repair repairs and installs doors across Mountain View, from Old Mountain View and Shoreline West to Cuesta Park, Waverly Park and Monta Loma, from our office in Sunnyvale. Old bungalow doors are rehung and saved, Eichler sliders roll again, frames are rebuilt, and the prehung door you picked up is installed. Priced on the call, in writing, before anything is scheduled.

Mountain View has prewar bungalows near Castro Street, Eichlers in Monta Loma and ranch houses toward Cuesta Park and Waverly Park. Their doors fail in different ways, and we fix each the way it was built.

Every Mountain View door repair or install is backed by a one-year workmanship warranty, in writing, from a licensed, bonded and insured technician.
Three kinds of houses. Bungalows near downtown have wood doors from the 1920s to the 1940s that swell in the rain and frames that have settled. Monta Loma's Eichlers have glass walls and sliders on wheels that wear out. And the ranch tracts have builder doors and frames that sprinklers have soaked for sixty years.
Mountain View doors are worth fixing more often than not: bungalow doors need a rehang and a trued frame, Eichler sliders need wheels and track. When a door is split or rotted through, we install the one you bought, and we tell you which on the call.
A repair needs no permit: a rehang, a frame rebuild or new hardware is ordinary repair work. Mountain View does not publish a door-swap rule we could find, so before you buy a new exterior door we check for your address. Enlarging an opening takes a permit.
The older homes around Castro Street have heavy wood doors that swell in the winter rain and frames that have settled for a century. Planing, a rehang and a trued frame let them close without a shove.
Bungalows and cottages with original wood doors. We rehang and plane them, rebuild the frames and fit new hardware so the old door keeps working.
Larger ranch homes with French doors and sliders to the yard. We realign French doors, replace slider rollers and install the new doors you choose.
Eichlers and compact tract homes. We get Eichler sliders rolling, swap hollow-core doors and fix garage-to-house doors so they close on their own.
Describe how the door sticks, or text a photo of it, and the job is priced on that call. The price goes to you in writing before any technician is scheduled.
The truck comes one exit from Sunnyvale with shims, hinges, strikes, weatherstrip, jamb stock, slider wheels and the common locksets, so most bungalow rehangs and Eichler slider jobs are done in that first visit.
We measure the opening before you buy, so the door you order is the right size and swings the right way. The frame is fixed first; the door you bought is hung to it after.
The old door, trim and sawdust leave with us. Your one-year workmanship warranty is written on the invoice, for the repair or the install, and that is the paper you keep.
Repairs need no permit. For a new exterior door, Mountain View does not publish a rule we could read, so we check with the city for your address first; an enlarged opening takes a permit. Old Mountain View homes on the city's historic register get their own review for changes to the front.
California's residential code wants the door between the garage and the house to be solid wood or steel at least 1-3/8 inches thick, or rated for 20 minutes, and to close and latch on its own. Many older homes have a hollow-core door there or a closer that quit; we install the right door and the closer.
Most Mountain View homes have no association; townhome and condo communities do, and they approve new exterior doors. In Monta Loma, a flush front door keeps the Eichler look. A repair that matches needs nothing.

Call 408-916-4022Call or text a picture and the job is priced on the spot; most Mountain View repairs get a date within days. A bungalow rehang, a trued frame, new weatherstrip or a lock swap is one visit, because the truck from Sunnyvale carries the parts, slider wheels included.
Usually, yes. A sound wood door can be planed, rehung and sealed, its frame rebuilt where it has settled or rotted. If the slab is split through, we install the one you choose and keep the old hardware where it fits.
Planing and rehanging a door, or a new strike plate, is the small end. A frame rebuilt from the sill up, or a new prehung door installed, is the big end. Tell us what the door does or send a photo and the price is set on the call, in writing, before a visit is booked.
Yes. You pick the prehung or slab doors and we install them in the existing openings, hinges and lockset fitted and trim reset, usually a whole floor in a day.
We only install. You buy the door, from a door shop or a home center, and we measure the opening before you order so it fits and swings the right way. Then we fix the frame, hang the door, seal and trim it and fit the hardware, keeping the old hardware on a bungalow where it still fits.
Yes. A prehung or slab door from Home Depot or Lowe's is most of what we hang. Send a photo of the label or give us the size and the swing, and the install is priced on the call. If a settled bungalow frame needs truing first, you hear it before the door is delivered.
Not for a repair. For a new exterior door we check the city rule for your address before you buy, and a larger opening always takes one. We tell you on the call which applies.
