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 Raleigh and the surrounding North Carolina communities.
Doors, drywall, screens and the move-in list, priced on the call from our west Raleigh office.
Raleigh doors are on every list because the weather works them twice a year: they swell in July and shrink in January, so one door sticks half the year and rattles the other half. Inside the Beltline the entry doors bind in century-old frames, in North Raleigh the French doors sag off the latch, and in the brick ranches the hollow-core doors have worn out their hinges. We plane and seal, reset hinges, move the strike, replace a window lock and go on to the next item.
Each of these is a regular week for a Kaminskiy-certified technician based on Centerview Drive with a stocked truck. Make one list and call once.
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 Raleigh repair.
The list from closing day usually has a dozen lines: the door that sticks, the drywall crack, the shelving, the blinds, the screen door, the shower caulk, the grab bars. One Kaminskiy-certified technician with a stocked truck takes the whole list in one visit, and anything with a special-order part is scheduled before the truck leaves. Twelve lines, one invoice.
Send the list or a photo of the worst item and most Raleigh repairs get a written price on the call, before anything is scheduled. A porch floor, a rotted frame or a bathroom refresh gets a look and a written scope before the price. The price you approve is the price at the house, with no service call added at the door.
Not a to-do list. The state exempts work under a set cost in a single-family home from a building permit and names windows, doors, siding and the boards, railings and treads of a porch or deck as needing none; a load-bearing member is never exempt. Raleigh's own page lists siding, window and door work as a permit without plans, so past a like-for-like repair we check with Development Services before we quote and tell you what the city said.
Electrical, plumbing and HVAC are licensed trades in North Carolina and not ours at any price; we tell you who to call and come back for the carpentry, drywall and paint around the licensed trade's work. The roof and anything load-bearing go to the licensed general contractor. Doors, drywall, screens, caulk, grab bars, shelving, trim and the rest of the list are ours.
Houses from the 1900s to the 1940s under big oaks, with plaster walls, wood siding, deep porches and doors that have hung in the same settled frames for generations. The list is a door that binds, plaster that cracks on a schedule, a porch screen, a window that will not stay up, a column base gone soft, and every repair has to match what is already there. We save the original where it can be saved and marry new wood to old.
Homes from the 1970s through the 2000s, many in associations, with hardboard or fiber cement siding, a deck on every back wall and French doors to the yard. The list is the French doors off their latch, window trim rotting where no flashing was set, settling cracks in the drywall, a loose deck rail and the move-in boxes. We match the scheme and write the materials down for the form.
Brick ranches from the 1950s to the 1970s on vented crawl spaces over red clay, with wood fascia and sills, carports and hollow-core doors inside. The brick is fine; the floor that squeaks above the crawl space, the door that swells, the fascia behind a gutter full of oak leaves and the bath that wants a grab bar are what call us. We fix what sticks and squeaks and say plainly when the crawl space is the cause.
Call 919-585-1114 or text the list with a photo. Most Raleigh repairs are priced on that call and scheduled within days from the office on Centerview Drive.
The scope and the price come to you in writing before anyone drives out, item by item on the move-in list, so what gets done is exactly what you approved.
A Kaminskiy-certified technician with a stocked truck works top to bottom: door planed and sealed, crack patched and painted, screens reset, caulk renewed, grab bars into studs, shelves hung.
The one-year workmanship warranty is printed on the invoice, the special-order items are on the calendar, and the dust goes with us.
North Carolina asks for a general contractor license once a project costs more than the state threshold, and a Raleigh to-do list, a door, a wall patch, a screen, a grab bar, sits well under that line, so a handyman may be paid for it. Electrical, plumbing and HVAC carry separate state licenses at any price, and those items go to the licensed trade. Kaminskiy Care and Repair is bonded and insured, every technician is Kaminskiy-certified and background checked, and the price is in writing before anything starts.
The state's single-family exemption covers work under a set cost and names windows, doors, siding and the boards, railings and treads of a porch or deck as needing no permit at all; a load-bearing member always does. Raleigh's own page lists siding, window and door work as a permit without plans, so a to-do list needs nothing filed and anything past a like-for-like repair gets a call to Development Services before the quote.
Oakwood, Boylan Heights, Capitol Square, Glenwood-Brooklyn, Moore Square, Oberlin Village and the other local overlay districts need a Certificate of Appropriateness for exterior changes, but ordinary maintenance and repair that changes no design, material, color or appearance is exempt. A door rehung, a screen reset, a column base rebuilt in the same profile is that kind of work; a new door style or a changed material on the street side goes to the commission first, and we say which before the first board comes off.
Based on Centerview Drive. Our Raleigh crew starts the day at the office on Centerview Drive in west Raleigh, off the Beltline near the Cary line, and covers Wake County from Wake Forest to Holly Springs. Call 919-585-1114, text a photo, or send the form, and we answer in under three rings.
Can't find your answer? Call 919-585-1114 and ask us anything.
Call 919-585-1114That is the idea. The door that sticks, the drywall crack, the screen door, the shelving, the shower caulk and the grab bars go on one list, and one Kaminskiy-certified technician with a stocked truck works through it. Any item with a special-order part is booked before we leave.
Electrical, plumbing and HVAC, each a licensed trade in North Carolina at any price, and the roof or anything load-bearing, which is the licensed general contractor's job. We say so on the call, tell you who to call, and come back for the carpentry, drywall and paint around the licensed trade's work.
We pick up in under three rings, price most of the list on the call and usually schedule within days; the technician leaves from Centerview Drive in west Raleigh, a short drive to Five Points, North Hills or the Lake Johnson streets.
It depends on the list. Describe it or text a photo and you get the price on the call, in writing, before anything is booked, and a bigger item like a porch floor or a rotted frame gets a look and a written scope first. What you approve is what you pay.
Yes. The one-year workmanship warranty is written on every invoice, the technicians are Kaminskiy-certified and background checked, and Kaminskiy Care and Repair is bonded and insured.
Not an ordinary repair. Work that changes no design, material, color or appearance is exempt from the Certificate of Appropriateness, so a rehung door, a reset screen or a column base rebuilt in matching wood needs nothing. A new door style or a changed material on the street front goes to the commission first, and we say so before a board comes off.
