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 Santa Clara and the surrounding California communities.
Rentals, tract houses and the Old Quad. The list is short per item and long per house.
A Santa Clara list starts at a door more often than not. Rentals near the university go through tenants and keys, so strikes stop catching and hollow-core doors split; the 1950s tracts have sixty-year-old sliders and aluminum windows on flat rollers; the Old Quad has original doors in frames that settled long ago and sash windows painted shut. We reset strikes on long screws, swap the split door, re-roller the slider and the windows, plane and rehang the old doors, then the rest of the list, same trip.
One trip for a Kaminskiy-certified technician who starts the day ten minutes away in Sunnyvale. Send the list, get a price, get photos when it is done.
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 Santa Clara repair.
Whether it is a turnover or a Saturday list, one call gets one Kaminskiy-certified technician with a stocked truck who works every item in one trip: the strike, the split door, the window, the holes, the fan, the shelf. A part we do not carry is scheduled before we leave, and the office is ten minutes up El Camino if a second trip is needed.
Send the list, or photos of the worst items, and the price comes back in writing before anything goes on the calendar; a landlord gets the same number on every turnover, so the budget stays steady. A rotted frame, a balcony item or a bath refresh gets a look first and a written scope. You pay what you approved, nothing more.
Not a to-do list. The city publishes no exempt-work sheet of its own, so the state residential code is the rule: no application for an ordinary repair, painting and similar finish work exempt, and the line drawn at cutting a structural beam or a bearing support. A rehung door, a window roller, a patched wall, a fan on existing wiring, a shelf. A fence over seven feet, an enlarged opening or a deck takes a permit from the Building Division on Warburton Avenue, and we ask the desk before quoting near that line.
The electrical panel and a new circuit, a re-pipe, a gas line, a water heater, the roof and anything that holds the building up go to the licensed specialty trade, and we tell you who to call. The licensed pest company handles termite treatment; the rebuild after is ours. A faucet, a fixture or a fan on existing wiring stays on our list.
Victorians and bungalows from the late 1800s to the 1930s, many of them rentals now. The list is a door planed and rehung in a settled frame, a sash freed and roped, a plaster crack patched, a porch rail tightened, a screen door, a lock rekeyed between tenants. The city's historic inventory covers the front of some of these houses, so we keep every repair in kind and check before anything visible changes.
Ranch houses from the 1950s and 1960s with builder sliders, aluminum windows and the first drywall, plus the Pomeroy townhomes with their glass walls and association rules. Rollers, latches and weatherstrip, a hinge reset, a texture-matched patch, a fan swap, a bifold back on its track, and the move-in list on a house that just closed, with anything visible from the street kept to the association's scheme.
Homes, townhomes and condos from the 1990s and 2000s, most in associations, many rented to people who move every couple of years. Doors that settled, slider rollers, drywall by the room, closet doors, mounts and shelving, and the balcony-report carpentry for the board, with a turnover list priced so the number holds from one tenant to the next.
Call 408-916-4022 or text photos, one per item, or the turnover list by the unit. Most Santa Clara lists are priced on the call.
The scope and the number come in writing before a visit is booked; a frame rebuild or a balcony item gets a look first.
A Kaminskiy-certified technician works the list with the manager's key or with you at home, and sends a photo of each item done.
The one-year workmanship warranty is on the invoice, which goes in the landlord's file, and any part on order is already scheduled.
The state's exemption for a small repair under a set amount, with no permit and no employee, covers a strike plate and not much else on a real Santa Clara list; past that line California wants a licensed contractor. Kaminskiy Care and Repair holds a California contractor license (License #1106209), is bonded and insured, and its technicians are Kaminskiy-certified and background checked, so a door swap, a window, a balcony rail or a rot cut is inside the law with us, and any job over the written-contract threshold is on paper before it starts.
With no city handout to point to, the state residential code decides: an ordinary repair to a structure needs no application or notice, painting and similar finish work is exempt, and the exemption ends where a wall, a beam or a load-bearing support would be cut. The to-do list lives on the exempt side, from the rehung door to the fan swap. A tall fence, a bigger opening or a deck is a permit from the Building Division on Warburton Avenue, and we check with the desk before we quote near that line.
California treats a rental's repair list as the landlord's habitability duty, so between tenants we work the unit on the manager's key and send a photo per item. On the Old Quad, a house on the city's historic inventory needs a review before its street face changes, and a repair in kind needs none. The associations at Rivermark, at the Pomeroy townhomes and in the newer condo communities sign off on exterior doors and colors, and where the balcony inspection law applies, the rail and board carpentry it flags goes on a written scope for the board.
Ten minutes up El Camino from our office. Your Santa Clara crew dispatches from our South Bay office on Murphy Avenue in Sunnyvale, straight up El Camino Real or Central Expressway, so a turnover or a weekend list is usually on the calendar within days. Call 408-916-4022, text a photo, or send the form.

Call 408-916-4022Yes, and a Santa Clara turnover is the proof: the strike, the split door, the window lock, the holes by the room, the fan, the blinds and the rekey go on one list, and one Kaminskiy-certified technician with a stocked truck clears it in one trip. Parts on order are scheduled before we leave.
The electrical panel and new circuits, a re-pipe, a gas line, a water heater, the roof and anything structural, which go to the licensed trade; we tell you who to call. Termites are the licensed pest company's to treat. A faucet, a fixture or a fan on existing wiring is ours.
Our Sunnyvale office on Murphy Avenue is ten minutes up El Camino. We answer in under three rings, price most lists on the call and usually have a technician at the house or the unit within days; a turnover can be set for the day the keys come back.
It depends on the list, and you hear it first. Send it with photos and the price comes on the call, in writing, before anything is booked; a turnover prices the same way every time. A rotted frame or a balcony item gets a look first and a written scope. No surprises at the door.
Yes. Every item carries the one-year workmanship warranty in writing, which goes in the landlord's file, done by Kaminskiy-certified, background checked technicians under California contractor License #1106209, bonded and insured.
