Settling cracks, knob holes, truss-lift cracks, monsoon ceiling stains and move-out walls patched, textured and primed, from our offices in Temecula and Palm Desert. Priced in writing before we start.
BBBAccredited BusinessKaminskiy Care and Repair repairs drywall across Riverside County from two offices: Temecula for the valley tracts and the 215 corridor, Palm Desert for the Coachella Valley. The crack over the slider that opens every September in a Murrieta two-story, the brown ring on a Palm Springs ceiling after an August monsoon, the knob hole, the plumber's access hole after a slab leak, the forty anchor holes a tenant left. New board where the old is broken or soft, every seam taped, three coats of compound, the knockdown, orange peel or sand finish matched to the wall around it, then primer. Water damage waits for the leak to be fixed and the board to dry. The price is in writing on the call, and most patches are finished in one visit.
Eight repairs, one crew, priced in writing before we start.
From Temecula to Indio the walls fail for different reasons and get the same craft. The valley tracts crack at the window corners as the clay swells and shrinks and the trusses lift the ceiling tape in the dry heat; the desert houses stain from above when the monsoon finds the flat roof or the vacant house springs a leak in July and nobody is home until October. Sound board, taped seams, three coats sanded flat, the texture matched on a test board, primer. Then your painter, or ours.

Kaminskiy-certified pros finish the job with a workmanship warranty.
Every drywall repair carries our one-year workmanship warranty, in writing, and is done by a Kaminskiy-certified, background checked technician.
Two climates, three causes. In the Temecula Valley and along the 215 the clay under the tracts takes on water in winter and gives it back by late summer, so the house moves a little every year and the drywall shows it at the corners of doors and windows; the roof trusses arch upward as the attic dries in the heat and lift the ceiling tape off the upstairs walls. In the Coachella Valley the heat is fiercer and the houses older, and the cracks run from the corners of block openings and along fifty-year-old tape joints. Doorknobs with no stop do the rest, everywhere.
The 1990s through 2010s tracts from Temecula to Menifee carry knockdown; the 1980s streets carry orange peel; the mid-century houses of Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage and the Cove carry a smooth or sand finish on walls that are often furred drywall over block, with ceilings sprayed before 1980 that a licensed lab tests before anyone sands them. Matching the finish so the repair disappears is the part the hardware-store patch skips, and the part our technicians are known for.
In the valley: the upstairs bath over the kitchen, the washer on the second floor, and the slab leak in a home plumbed in the early 1990s that soaks a wall from the bottom up. In the desert: the monsoon storm in August that finds the flat or low-slope roof, the rooftop air conditioner whose drain line clogs, and the supply line that fails in a seasonal house in July and runs until the owner returns in October. The plumber or roofer fixes the source, the board dries and reads dry on the meter, then we replace it. Never the other way round.
Smaller than your hand: a backed patch. Bigger than your hand and smaller than a laptop: a paper patch. Poster-sized: a framed backer and a new section. Anything larger, or anything water has softened, is a full sheet screwed to the studs or the furring, every seam taped. Three coats, sanding, texture and primer are the same on all four, and the ceiling over eight feet, the still-wet wall and the dark growth past a dinner plate are priced after a look, not from the menu.
Stucco tracts from the 1980s through the 2010s with knockdown and orange peel inside, association color schemes, trusses that lift the upstairs ceiling tape every summer, settling cracks at the window corners on the clay, and the early-1990s supply lines that fail in the slab. Garages converted to a bedroom or an office carry a fire-separation wall that goes back with the same board. Matched texture, primer, the HOA scheme untouched.
Newer tracts and older lakeside homes side by side. In the tracts: new-home settling cracks in the first years, knockdown to match, two-story entries over eight feet priced after a look. Around the lake: 1960s and 1970s houses with orange peel on half-inch board, ceilings sprayed before 1980 that get tested by a licensed lab before anyone disturbs them, and water from the roof rather than a bath.
Mid-century houses with smooth or sand-finish walls over block, country-club condos with a neighbor above and a seasonal owner below, flat roofs that leak in the monsoon, and rooftop air conditioners that drip through a ceiling. The unit above is the CC&Rs' business; the ceiling below is ours, after the source is fixed and the board reads dry, finished to the sand or smooth finish and primed for the club color.
Hold your hand over the damage and tell us: smaller than your hand, bigger than your hand, poster-sized, or a whole sheet. We price it on the call, in writing, in under ten minutes.
Water damage is repaired after the source is fixed. If the stain is still wet we tell you who fixes the leak, and we schedule the drywall for when it is dry.
Backing where it needs it, new board cut to fit, every seam taped, three coats of compound sanded smooth, your texture matched, then primer.
Dust contained and the room left clean. Most patches are finished in one visit; a full sheet may need a short second visit for the final coat, scheduled before we leave.
On unincorporated county land, Riverside County Building and Safety publishes a list of work that needs no permit, and item twelve on it is painting, papering, tiling, carpeting, cabinets, counter tops and similar finish work that does not change the walls; a drywall patch, a replaced sheet or a ceiling repair in an existing wall is that. Each city inside the county keeps its own sheet (Murrieta lists minor repair work as exempt; Palm Springs and Palm Desert leave the state finish-work rule as written), and we check the right one for your address. A new opening, a removed wall or a framing change is a permit everywhere, and we say so first.
A sudden and accidental leak is usually a covered loss; seepage, a slow leak, wear and neglect usually are not, and the state insurance department's guide lists a house vacant for sixty days or more among the common exclusions, which matters in a county full of seasonal homes. Photograph the stain and the source the day you find it, keep the plumber's or roofer's invoice, and we write the drywall scope as its own line so it reads cleanly on the claim. We do not fix the leak; the board is dried and metered before new drywall goes in.
The wall and ceiling between a house and its attached garage are fire separation under the California Residential Code: half-inch board on the garage side, five-eighths Type X on a garage ceiling under a living space, and a full-sheet repair there goes back with the same board, converted garage or not. In the stacked condos of the desert clubs and the Temecula townhomes, water from the unit above and a shared wall are settled by the CC&Rs and the association's insurance, with California Civil Code 4775 as the default; we repair your side and write the scope separately.

Call 855-695-1195We answer in under three rings and send the nearer office: Temecula for the valley, the 215 and the lake, Palm Desert for the Coachella Valley. The price is in writing on the call, and most patches are finished in one visit; a full sheet or a ceiling may need a short second visit for the final coat.
Yes, both, and the orange peel of the 1980s streets in between. Knockdown is sprayed, timed and knocked down with the width of knife the original finisher used; a sand finish is rolled or troweled to the grit of the wall around it. Each is tested on a scrap board against your wall before the repair is textured.
No. A roofer fixes the roof or the flashing, the ceiling dries and reads dry on the meter, and then we cut out the stained section, replace it, tape, three coats, texture and prime. Patched before the roof is fixed, the stain is back with the next storm.
Yes, once the plumber is done and the framing reads dry. We fit a backer, hang new board, tape every seam, finish, match the texture and prime, and the opening disappears. A plumber's access hole is the most common full-sheet call we get from the valley tracts.
Yes. One knob hole, one crack, one nail pop is a welcome call from either office, and a room of up to fifteen nail and anchor holes is a menu item of its own for landlords and the move-out.
Size, water, texture and height: hand-sized, poster-sized or a whole sheet; dry or water-damaged; knockdown, orange peel, sand or smooth; eight feet or a vaulted entry. Which office comes changes nothing about the price. Say which on the call and the number is in writing in under ten minutes.
Not for a patch, a replaced sheet or a ceiling repair in an existing wall: the county's exempt-work list names finish work that does not change the walls, and the cities say the same in their own words. A new opening, a removed wall or a framing change is a permit everywhere, and we tell you on the call.
