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 Solana Beach and the surrounding California communities.
A mile of coast, a long list. Hardware, doors and rails lead it, and one visit clears it.
In Solana Beach the salt decides the list. Within a few blocks of the water the door closer seizes, the deadbolt stiffens, the bottom rail of the front door stays damp until June, and the slider track fills with sand until the rollers grind flat. Wood windows in Eden Gardens swell shut. We free or replace the hardware with stainless or coated parts, plane and seal the door, re-roller and clean the track, and fix the latch and the screen on the same visit as the rest of the list.
Short jobs, every one, for a Kaminskiy-certified technician who carries stainless hardware for the beach streets and prices the whole list before the truck leaves Rancho Bernardo.
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 Solana Beach repair.
Second homes and rentals are the Solana Beach habit: the owner is somewhere else, the list is nine lines long and the house is empty from Sunday to Friday. Text the list with photos, leave a lockbox code, and one technician with a stocked truck works it top to bottom on the empty day, sending a photo of each finished line. Homeowners get the same visit without the lockbox.
Most lists are priced on the call from the description and the photos, in writing, before anything is scheduled. An ocean-facing deck, a rebuilt frame or a bathroom refresh gets a look first and a written scope. The price you approve is the price on the invoice, and the one-year workmanship warranty is printed beside it.
Not the ordinary list. Solana Beach builds to the California Residential Code, which asks no application or notice for an ordinary repair to a structure and exempts painting, cabinets, counters and similar finish work. A rehung door, a replaced rail post, a spliced trim bottom, a patched wall or a fan in the old opening is ordinary repair. Cutting a structural member is not, and on a bluff lot anything bigger than a repair is where we check with the city before pricing it.
The licensed trades. A re-pipe, a water heater or a gas line is a licensed plumber's; a panel, a new circuit or rewiring is a licensed electrician's; the roof itself is a licensed roofer's; termite treatment is the licensed pest company's, and we rebuild after it. A ledger or a joist that has gone soft under a bluff-top deck is a question for an engineer before anyone rebuilds, and we tell you so before a board comes off.
Cottages, duplexes and bluff-top condos a few hundred yards from the surf, where metal corrodes and wood never dries from November to June. The list is closers and deadbolts, a swollen door, a scored slider track, caulk gone from the ocean-side windows, a balcony rail post soft at its base, and a gate that no longer latches. We fit stainless and coated hardware, seal the end grain, recaulk the weather side, replace the post and the boards around it, and say so when a ledger has gone further than a repair.
Some of the oldest houses in the city, with original wood doors and windows, board trim close to the soil and additions from every decade since. The list here is a door planed to close in a settled frame, a wood window freed and reglazed, a soft trim bottom spliced, a plaster or drywall crack patched to match, a porch step made solid and a new fixture where the old one gave up. We keep the original parts where they can be saved and match the profile where they cannot.
Houses and condos from the 1970s and 1980s with sliders, patio covers, wood balconies and association color schemes. Rollers and hinges at forty-plus years, fascia where the sprinklers reach, a texture-matched patch where a leak was fixed, the fan and the fixtures in a hall bath, and the balcony rail and board carpentry the association's inspection flagged, scoped in writing for the board and finished to the approved style.
Call 858-330-5590 or text the list with photos. For a second home or a rental, add the empty days and the lockbox code.
Every line comes back priced in writing, with a date. You approve before anything is scheduled, and the price holds at the house.
A Kaminskiy-certified, background checked technician comes down the 5 with stainless hardware on the truck and works the list in order, sending a photo per finished line.
The house is left locked and swept, and the one-year workmanship warranty is on the invoice with the lines it covers.
The state allows an unlicensed person a repair under a set small amount, provided it needs no permit and nobody is employed on it, and a beach-house list is past that line by its second item. Kaminskiy Care and Repair holds California contractor License #1106209, is bonded and insured, sends Kaminskiy-certified, background checked technicians, and writes up every job over the state's contract threshold before the first visit, so the owner in another city has it in writing.
The city builds to the California Residential Code, which asks for no application or notice for ordinary repairs to a structure and exempts painting, papering, tiling, cabinets, counter tops and similar finish work. A planed door, a replaced rail post, a spliced trim bottom, a texture-matched patch or a fan in its old opening is ordinary repair. Cutting a structural beam or a bearing wall takes a permit and drawings, and we tell you on the call if an item is near that line.
Most single-family streets in Solana Beach have no association; Isla Verde, Seascape and a few hillside communities do, and a repair finished to match rarely needs a form. On the bluffs and the beach streets the coastal rules concern new building and views, not a replaced rail post or a planed door, and we check before anything larger. The condo associations fall under California's balcony inspection law, and the rail, board and post carpentry on the engineer's report is ours, scoped in writing for the board.
Down the 5 from the rest of the county. Your Solana Beach crew dispatches from our San Diego office on World Trade Drive and carries stainless hardware for the beach streets. Call 858-330-5590, text a photo, or send the form, and we answer in under three rings.

Call 858-330-5590That is the normal Solana Beach visit. The seized closer, the damp door, the scored slider track, the loose rail post, the caulk and the drywall patch go on one list, and one Kaminskiy-certified technician with a stocked truck works through it on one visit, on the empty day if the house is a rental.
The licensed trades: a re-pipe, a water heater or a gas line goes to a licensed plumber, a panel or a new circuit to a licensed electrician, the roof itself to a licensed roofer, and termite treatment to the licensed pest company, with the rebuild ours afterward. A deck ledger or a bluff-side structure that has gone soft goes to an engineer before we touch it, and we say so first.
We answer in under three rings, price most lists on that call and usually schedule within days, down the 5 from our World Trade Drive office. For a second home or a rental we work from photos and a lockbox on the days the house is empty and send pictures when the list is done.
It depends on the list, and the list is priced before the drive. Text the lines with photos and the price comes on the call, in writing; an ocean-facing deck, a rebuilt frame or a bathroom refresh gets a look and a written scope first. The invoice carries the price you approved, nothing more.
Yes. Every line carries a one-year workmanship warranty in writing, done by Kaminskiy-certified, background checked technicians under California contractor License #1106209, bonded and insured, on the beach-street door and the bluff-top rail alike.
Yes, that is most of our Solana Beach work. Send the list and photos, the lockbox code and the days the house is empty. The technician works the list on an empty day, sends a photo of each finished line, and leaves the house locked and swept. The invoice and the warranty come by email.
Salt air, and the closer a house is to the water the faster it goes. Plated steel closers, strike plates and hinges pit and seize within a few years on the beach streets. We replace them with stainless or marine-coated parts, seal the door's end grain where the damp gets in, and the next set lasts far longer.
