BBBAccredited Business
Sacramento has the oldest housing in the region and the hottest summers, and both show up in a renovation. Kaminskiy Care and Repair runs the project as one job from our office in Roseville: a kitchen or bathroom refresh with new fixtures installed behind the plaster of a Curtis Park bungalow, floors and paint through a Natomas house that just sold, a Midtown fourplex turned over between tenants, a porch and the front rooms of a Boulevard Park Victorian rebuilt in kind, an East Sacramento ranch house made ready for a parent. One written scope, one crew. If the plan moves walls or plumbing it is a remodel, and we say so on the first call. Call 916-507-2190.
Refreshes and multi-day projects, priced in writing from Highland Pointe Drive.
A 1925 Land Park kitchen with a sound layout and a 1978 makeover needs its counters, backsplash, hardware and lighting done again with the plaster kept, not a new footprint, and that is a refresh. Several rooms on one schedule make a project: the Midtown fourplex turned over, the Tahoe Park ranch house refloored and repainted before the movers, the porch and front rooms of an old house rebuilt in kind. Move a wall, a drain or the panel and it is a remodel for a licensed general contractor, and we say which you have on the first call.
AFTERBEFOREEach of those is one written scope with Kaminskiy Care and Repair. Call 916-507-2190. A single room takes days; a whole-house project comes with a schedule you approve before the first day.
We answer in under three rings and get you priced and scheduled in minutes.

Same layout, new surfaces and fixtures: that is a refresh, and it is ours. Several rooms run on one schedule, or a porch and the rooms behind it rebuilt over a couple of weeks: that is a project, also ours. Walls, drains or the panel moving: that is a remodel, and it goes to a licensed general contractor we name while you are still on the phone.
What you pay for is the cabinets, the counters, the flooring and the hands that install them. A River Park kitchen that keeps its sink, range and fridge where they stand needs no permit and no plumber, so the refresh runs a fraction of what gutting the room would. The number is written down before a date is set.
Behind the plaster of a Midtown Victorian there is usually galvanized pipe and wiring older than anyone alive, and that is the licensed plumber's and electrician's work to replace before we close the wall again. Rotted sills and framing that settled a century ago are ours. The sequence is fixed: that first, then plaster and paint, then floors, then fixtures, then trim, and the flooring is not ordered until the wall is open.
We take the rooms one at a time, protect the floors, wall off the dust and clear the hall each evening so the house stays a house. A turnover runs in an empty unit with the trades following each other day after day. When the valley heat arrives the crew starts early and the exterior work is done by noon.
Victorians, Craftsman bungalows and cottages from the 1880s through the 1920s, many in the city's historic districts. A project here is a kitchen or bath brought up to date behind the original walls, plaster skimmed instead of torn out, fir floors uncovered and refinished, a porch rebuilt in kind. Inside a district the outside stays as the preservation rules ask, and the inside is yours.
1920s through 1950s houses under big street trees, and the Pocket's 1970s and 1980s homes along the river. Projects are the kitchen and baths refreshed in the footprint, the floors and paint done through a house that just sold, and the sills and framing the termites took, rebuilt before the finish work covers them.
1940s to 1960s ranch houses with their first kitchens, and Natomas's newer stucco homes in associations. The layouts are sound, so the work is counters, backsplash, vanities, floors, paint and hardware changed across the house on one schedule, popcorn ceilings taken down, and the turnovers on the Natomas rentals.
Some kitchens do need to move. A wall opened to the dining room, a bath added where a closet was, an addition off the back, a unit over the garage: that is design-and-build work for a licensed general contractor, with an engineer and a full permit set. Say what you have in mind on the first call and you will know which kind of company you need before the call ends.
In Boulevard Park, Newton Booth or Alkali Flat the city asks that a historic feature be repaired before it is replaced, and replaced in kind when it must be. That is also simply how a Victorian is done well: new wood spliced into old, the milled trim copied, the original doors planed and rehung, the fir refinished, and photographs taken before and after for the file.
The Midtown fourplex or the Natomas rental comes back with cracked plaster, a worn kitchen and carpet that has to go. We walk it the day the keys come back, write the whole list up with a price on each line, and schedule paint, floors, fixtures and hardware on consecutive days so the listing goes up inside the week. One vendor and one invoice, with every room photographed.
A curbless shower with new fixtures, grab bars screwed into blocking, lever handles on every door, a ramp at the porch step, brighter light and a bedroom and bath on the first floor. The family and our estimator plan it as one scope, it runs as one job, and the house is finished before the week they move in.
Tell us what you want to change. Small refreshes are priced on the call. A multi-room project gets a walk-through from our Roseville 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 Sacramento 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 #1106209), 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.
Sacramento's own list is specific, and most of a refresh is on the no-permit side of it: painting, papering, tiling, cabinets, counter tops and similar finish work. A fixture in the same place is a repair under the state code the city builds to. The city's permit list starts at siding, window replacements, decks, patio covers and re-roofs, and the permit question for a project starts when plumbing or wiring moves, a wall comes out or an opening changes. Inside a preservation district the exemptions do not apply to the outside, and we check before we price work there.
Boulevard Park, Newton Booth, Alkali Flat and the other central-city districts are under the city's preservation rules: an alteration to a building fifty years old or older is routed to the Preservation Director, and historic features are repaired before they are replaced. An interior refresh is not reviewed; a porch, a door or a window on the street face is. Outside the districts most of Sacramento has no association; the newer Natomas and Pocket streets often do, and a project that touches the outside goes on the form with the materials in writing.
Up the 80 from our Roseville office. The Sacramento crews work out of the office on Highland Pointe Drive in Roseville and cover the whole city and its suburbs, from the central-city districts to Natomas, Elk Grove and the foothills. Call 916-507-2190 with the rooms or the photos. The whole county is on our Sacramento handyman page.

Call 916-507-2190Renovating keeps the rooms where they are and makes them new: counters, vanity, floors, paint, plaster, hardware. Remodeling moves walls, pipes or wiring. If the Sacramento kitchen works and merely looks fifty years old, renovate it and keep most of your money. If you want it somewhere else, that is a remodel, and we will name a licensed general contractor on the call instead of pretending otherwise.
On the finishes you select and the hours the room takes, never on square feet. For one room, photos and a short call are usually enough for a written price. For several rooms someone drives down from Roseville, walks the house with you and writes a scope with a line for every item, and you sign off on the number before we order a thing. Call 916-507-2190 to start.
One crew. Paint, plaster, floors, fixtures, trim, doors, cabinets and the repairs behind them are all trades we carry ourselves, so the same technicians work the list from the first day to the last. If the scope needs a licensed electrician or plumber for a day, we book them and coordinate it, and you still have one number to call.
Not for the finish work. The city's own list puts painting, tiling, cabinets, counter tops and similar work on the no-permit side, and a fixture swapped in the same spot is a repair. A permit comes into play when plumbing or wiring moves, a wall comes out or an opening changes. Inside a preservation district the street face is reviewed and the inside is not. We settle it on the walk-through.
In the central city, Land Park and Curtis Park it usually is: fir or oak, laid before 1950. Pull the carpet, pad and tack strip and we can tell you in ten minutes. Boards get patched where a wall or a vent once was, then the floor is sanded, stained if you want it, and finished before any fixture goes back in. It all goes in the written scope.
Count a few working days for a hall bath once the vanity, faucet, toilet, shower door and fan are on site and the paint is chosen. Tile work and a shower rebuild add days. The schedule is written into the scope, and we will not promise a finish date before we have stood in the room.
