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 Sunnyvale and the surrounding California communities.
Our office is on Murphy Avenue, minutes from any Sunnyvale street. The list is usually the first stop of the day.
Sunnyvale's doors were hung in the 1950s and 1960s, and most lists begin with one: a floor-to-ceiling Eichler slider grinding on its original wheels, a flush front door in a courtyard wall that no longer meets the stop, a ranch-tract entry door in a jamb the sprinklers soaked for sixty summers, a wood window in the Heritage District painted shut. We replace the wheels and true the track, rehang the door to the Eichler line, rebuild the jamb bottom, free the sash, and go on to the next line.
Every one of these is a short drive from Murphy Avenue and a short line for a Kaminskiy-certified technician. Make one list; a beam end or a balcony gets a look first.
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 Sunnyvale repair.
Nothing in Sunnyvale is more than a few minutes from the office, which makes a list the easy way to use us. Put down the slider, the scupper stain, the fan, the towel bar, the caulk and the gate, text it with a photo of the worst line, and one technician with a stocked truck works it top to bottom, usually as the first stop of the day. A part we do not carry is ordered and scheduled before he leaves.
Most lists are priced on the call from the description and the photos, in writing, before anything is scheduled. When a photo is not enough, a look costs nothing from an office this close, and an Eichler beam end, a balcony or a bath refresh gets a written scope first. The price you approve is the price on the invoice, and the one-year workmanship warranty is printed beside it.
Not an ordinary repair. Sunnyvale's own sheet of work needing no building permit lists painting and similar cosmetic work and points to the codes for the rest, and the state residential code asks no application for an ordinary repair to a structure: a sill, a fascia board, a patched wall, a rehung door, a fan in its old opening. A deck, a balcony rebuild or rot cut back into the roof structure is a permit, and exterior paint on an Eichler or a Heritage District house can need the Planning Division's nod, so we check before pricing work there.
The licensed trades, named on the call. A re-pipe, a water heater, a gas line or the radiant loop in the slab is a licensed plumber's; a panel, a new circuit or rewiring is a licensed electrician's; the flat-roof membrane is a licensed roofer's; termite treatment is the licensed pest company's, and the rebuild afterward is ours. A beam that carries the roof waits for an engineer, and we never drill or cut a radiant slab without knowing where the loop runs.
Post-and-beam houses with flat roofs, radiant slabs and glass walls, and the ranch tracts around them with wood fascia and wood-framed windows, all from the 1950s and 1960s. The list is slider wheels and track, a flush door rehung to the Eichler line, a ceiling stain under a scupper patched after the drain runs clear, a fascia board, a fan in the hall bath, and a fixture swapped where nothing can be drilled into the slab. We keep the Eichler look the city's design guidelines expect.
The city's oldest houses, some from the 1900s to the 1930s, with wood siding, porches, wood sash and original doors, beside 1960s and 1970s stucco tracts with pop-out sills. The list is a door planed to close, a sash freed and re-corded, a porch rail tightened, a soft trim bottom spliced, a stucco sill patched, a texture-matched drywall repair, and the fixtures and caulk in a bath from another decade. On the Heritage District streets the repair puts back what was there.
Compact 1950s houses with builder doors, and 1970s and 1980s condos and townhomes with wood balconies, stairs and railings now under California's balcony inspection law. The list is a hollow-core door swapped for a solid one, a garage-to-house door that closes on its own, a bath fan, a towel bar re-anchored, the turnover between tenants, and the railing, board and post-base carpentry on the association's report, scoped in writing for the board.
Call 408-916-4022 or text the list with a photo of the worst item. Condo boards can send the inspection report's carpentry items.
The lines, the price and the date come back in writing, and a look costs nothing when a photo is not enough. You approve before anything is scheduled.
A Kaminskiy-certified, background checked technician leaves Murphy Avenue with a stocked truck and works the list in order, asking before adding anything.
The dust leaves with us, the patches are painted, and the one-year workmanship warranty is on the invoice with the lines it covers.
California lets an unlicensed person take a repair under a set small amount when no permit is involved and nobody is employed on it, and a Sunnyvale list is past that line by the slider: a slider swap, a beam end, a balcony rail. 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 it starts.
The city publishes a sheet of work that needs no building permit, with painting and similar cosmetic work on it, a note that the list is not all-inclusive and that each code carries more exemptions, and a reminder that exterior painting can need the Planning Division's approval. The state residential code fills in the rest: no application or notice for an ordinary repair to a structure, never the cutting of a structural beam or a load-bearing support. A sill, a fascia board, a patched wall, a rehung door or a fan in its opening is that; a deck, a balcony rebuild or a beam cut back into the roof structure is a permit, and we say which before pricing it.
Most single-family streets in Sunnyvale have no association. The Eichler tracts follow the city's Eichler design guidelines, which care about the look of the front, so a new entry door or a changed window keeps the flush lines, and the Heritage District houses are treated the same way; a repair that puts back what was there needs no review. The condos and townhomes toward the Bay carry California's balcony inspection law, and the railing, board and post-base carpentry the engineer's report flags is ours, scoped in writing for the board, with a structural member going back to the engineer first.
Our office is downtown on Murphy Avenue. The South Bay crew starts the day at 100 S Murphy Avenue, a few minutes from any Sunnyvale street, which is why a Sunnyvale call is usually the first stop on the calendar. Call 408-916-4022, text a photo, or send the form.

Call 408-916-4022Yes, and from an office this close it is the natural way to work. The slider wheels, the scupper stain, the fan, the towel bar and the courtyard gate go on one list, and one Kaminskiy-certified technician with a stocked truck works through it, usually as the first stop of the day. A part we do not carry is scheduled before he leaves.

Faster than anywhere else we serve. The office is downtown on Murphy Avenue, a few minutes from any Sunnyvale street, so we answer in under three rings, price most lists on that call and usually have a technician at the house within days, often as the first stop of a morning.
It depends on the list. Text photos or describe the lines and the price comes on the call, in writing, before anything is booked; when a photo is not enough, a look costs nothing from an office this close. An Eichler beam end, a balcony or a bath refresh gets a written scope first. What you approve is what the invoice says.
Yes. The one-year workmanship warranty is in writing on every job, done by Kaminskiy-certified, background checked technicians, and the company holds California contractor License #1106209, bonded and insured. The licensed trades we hand work to carry their own.
Not for an ordinary repair. The city's own sheet exempts painting and cosmetic work and points to the codes for the rest, and the state code asks no application for a repaired sill, fascia board, wall, door or fan. A deck, a balcony rebuild or rot into a beam that carries the roof is a permit, exterior paint on an Eichler or a Heritage District house can need Planning's nod, and we tell you on the call.
Yes, when the crew knows the house, and ours does. We replace slider wheels and true the track, rehang an entry door to the flush line the city's guidelines expect, patch a ceiling stain only after the scupper drains, and never drill or cut a radiant slab blind. A beam end that has rotted is cut back and scarfed to read as original, and rot that reaches the part carrying the roof goes to an engineer first.
