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 Wake Forest and the surrounding North Carolina communities.
Up Capital Boulevard from Centerview Drive. Mill-house doors, porch floors and new-build trim lead the Wake Forest list.
Wake Forest hands us two kinds of door. Downtown and in Glen Royall they are a century old, hung in frames that settled on brick piers, with mortise locks and wavy glass worth keeping. In Heritage, Hasentree and Wakefield they are builder doors that sagged on their hinges, a front door swollen over an unflashed slab, and sliders dragging on worn rollers. We plane, shim and rehang the old ones, reset hinges and seals on the new ones, and replace rollers, sweeps and locksets in the same visit.
Every line is a short job for a Kaminskiy-certified technician coming up Capital Boulevard from the Raleigh office, and the whole list is one visit. Priced on the call, in writing.
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 Wake Forest repair.
A Wake Forest list is a door, a plaster crack, a porch board, a piece of window trim, a deck post and the towel bar. No one line is worth a contractor's drive up Capital Boulevard, and together they are a morning for one technician with a stocked truck. We take the list on the call, order the work so filler and paint get their cure time, and clear it in one visit where the list allows, two when the historic district or the association has to say yes first.
Describe the list or text a photo of each line and most of it is priced on that call, in writing, as one visit and the work on it, with no hourly meter. A porch floor, a column, a historic-district elevation or a stain we cannot read from a photo gets a look and a written scope so the material match is settled before anything starts. You pay the figure you approved; if a board comes off and shows more rot behind it, you hear that before we go on.
North Carolina's statute takes a single-family repair under a set cost out of the building permit entirely and names windows, doors, siding and the boards, railings and treads of a porch or deck as exempt; anything load-bearing stays in. The Town's Inspections Department enforces that code without a separate exempt list that we could find, so a repair in kind goes ahead and a joist, a girder or a porch beam is the point where we call the department before we start.
Electrical, plumbing and HVAC are licensed separately in North Carolina at any price and are not our lane, so those lines go to the licensed trade and we tell you who to call. A roof, a porch beam or a girder goes to a licensed general contractor and, if it carries the house, an engineer. In the historic district a change of material is the commission's call before it is ours. The doors, porches, plaster, drywall, siding, trim, decks and the rest of the list are ours.
College-town houses near Main Street and the mill houses of Glen Royall, a century old on brick piers under big oaks, with lap siding, box columns, plaster walls and the original doors and sash. The list: a door binding in a frame that settled, a sash painted shut, a plaster crack that reopens, a porch board soft at the nail line, a column base gone punky, a screen door off its spring. We plane and rehang, free the sash, cut the plaster crack back and fill it so it stays filled, splice the porch board and the column base to the original profile, and in the historic district write the scope so it reads as a repair in kind.
Planned communities from the 2000s with siding sides, wood trim, porches and decks over golf lots, and an association scheme for all of it. Their lists are young-house lists: window trim rotted at the bottom corner where no flashing went in, a builder door sagging on its hinges, deck boards cupped and a rail post soft in a puddle, drywall cracks at the corners from settling, nail pops, a closet shelf pulled loose. We rebuild the trim with flashing this time, reset the door, replace the boards and the post, patch and texture, and spell out the material and color for the association's form.
Family streets from the 1990s on, in fiber cement and vinyl with wood where it matters: the porch columns, the door frames and the deck. The list is the move-in list: a column base to splice, a jamb bottom soft on the slab, a railing post, the slider that drags, a hollow door with a hole, towel bars and a curtain rod out of the drywall, caulk at the tub. Small fixes, sealed on the end grain, anchored properly and matched to the finish, in one stop.
Call 919-585-1114 or text the list with a picture of each line. Most of a Wake Forest list is priced from the pictures, and the porch or the plaster that needs a look gets it on the first visit.
The list comes back in writing with the price for the visit, which lines are ours and which go to a licensed trade, and the material match spelled out for a historic-district house or an association form.
A Kaminskiy-certified technician drives up Capital Boulevard with the list already loaded on the truck, starts with the wood and the doors so they can be rechecked before leaving, and walks the list with you at the end.
The cut-out trim, the old boards and the dust leave with us. The one-year workmanship warranty is on the invoice, and a century-old door that wants a second adjustment after its first humid summer is a call, not a bill.
North Carolina requires a general contractor license once a project costs more than the state threshold, and a Wake Forest repair list, a door rehung, a porch board, a plaster crack, a piece of trim, a deck rail, sits under it, so a handyman may be paid for the work. Electrical, plumbing and HVAC are licensed separately at any price, and those lines go to the licensed trade, named on the call. Kaminskiy Care and Repair is bonded and insured, with Kaminskiy-certified, background checked technicians, and prints no license number here because none is on the North Carolina record.
The state statute says no building permit is needed for construction, repair, replacement or alteration costing a set amount or less in a single-family home, done to the current State Building Code, and within that cap it names windows, doors, exterior siding and the pickets, railings, stair treads and decking of porches and decks as needing no permit at all; the exemption never reaches a load-bearing structure, the deck frame included. The Town of Wake Forest Inspections Department enforces that code and, as far as we found, publishes no separate exempt list, so a repair in kind proceeds and a joist, a girder, a ledger or a porch beam is where we call the department first and tell you what it said.
Any exterior work on a property in Wake Forest's local historic district or on a local landmark needs a Certificate of Appropriateness, and the town treats a feature replaced in kind with matching materials as a minor work that staff can approve. A door planed and rehung, a porch board or a column base rebuilt to the original profile, a run of lap siding spliced to match, a sash repaired rather than replaced, all read that way, and we write the scope so they do. A change of material or design is the commission's decision, and we tell you before we start rather than after.
Up Capital Boulevard from our office. Your Wake Forest crew dispatches from our Raleigh office on Centerview Drive, so a call from Glen Royall or Hasentree is usually on the calendar within days. Call 919-585-1114, text a photo, or send the form.
Can't find your answer? Call 919-585-1114 and ask us anything.
Call 919-585-1114Yes, and it should, because the drive up Capital Boulevard is the part worth saving. A door, a plaster crack, a porch board, a trim corner and a deck post are each an hour or less and together are a morning for one technician. We price the visit and the work on it, so the whole list rides on one trip charge.
Electrical, plumbing and HVAC are licensed separately in North Carolina at any price and are not ours, so we name them on the call and tell you who to call. A roof, a girder or a porch beam goes to a licensed general contractor, and a change of material on a historic-district house waits for the commission. Doors, porches, plaster, drywall, siding, trim, decks, caulk, hardware and paint are ours.
Under three rings to answer, most of the list priced on that call, and a date within days from the Raleigh office. A historic-district job that needs staff approval first gets the scope written the same week so the approval is not the slow part.
A written price before anyone drives up, for the visit and the work on it, with no hourly meter. Describe the list or text photos and most of it is priced on the call; a porch floor, a column or a historic-district elevation gets a look and a written scope first so the material match is settled. The figure you approve is the figure you pay.
Yes. Every Wake Forest repair is warranted in writing for a year on workmanship, and the technician who did it is Kaminskiy-certified and background checked. A door or a sash that wants a second adjustment after its first humid summer is a call, not a bill.
All of Wake Forest from our Raleigh office, including downtown, Glen Royall, Heritage, Hasentree, Traditions, Wakefield Plantation and Holding Village, plus Rolesville, Youngsville and north Raleigh. Call 919-585-1114 to confirm your address.
Not for a repair list. The state statute 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 exempt, so a rehung door, a porch floor, a trim board, a patched wall and new deck boards need none. The deck frame, a joist, a girder or a porch beam is load-bearing and never exempt, and that is where we call the Inspections Department first.
Yes, as a repair in kind. Any exterior work in the local historic district needs a Certificate of Appropriateness, and the town treats a feature replaced with matching materials as a minor work staff can approve, so we write the scope that way: the door planed and rehung, the column base turned to match, the siding spliced to the same lap, the sash repaired rather than swapped. A new material or a changed design goes to the commission, and we tell you that before anything starts.
Tell us what is on the list. We'll call you back with a price and a time. Calling is still the fastest way: 919-585-1114.
Priced on the call, one crew for the whole list, warranted in writing.
