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 Monday to Friday, 8 to 4:30, and most jobs are priced and scheduled in under 10 minutes. We serve Hillsboro and the surrounding Oregon communities.
Our office is in Hillsboro. Builder doors, wet-ground jambs and the new-house list lead here.
Hillsboro's doors fail from the ground up. The valley floor holds water, so a jamb on a slab wicks and softens, a threshold rots under the sweep, and the garage service door drags by February. On the 1990s streets the builder doors sag on their hinges and the sliders ride on worn rollers; in Old Town the fir doors bind in frames that settled decades ago. We rebuild the jamb bottom, reset the threshold, plane and rehang, re-roll the slider, and fit seals and hardware in the same stop.
Each line is a short job for a Kaminskiy-certified technician who starts the day on Tanasbourne Drive, and the whole list is one visit. One written price, CCB #252813 on the truck.
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 Hillsboro repair.
A Hillsboro list is the garage jamb, the front door latch, a stain below a window, a deck board, a rough patch and the shelving. None of it is worth a contractor's trip on its own, and together it is a morning for one technician whose truck starts the day ten minutes away. We take the list on the call, order the work so the splices and the filler can cure, and clear it in one visit where the list allows, with a short second stop easy to fit in if a part has to be ordered.
Describe the list or text a photo of each item and most of it is priced on that call, in writing, as one visit and the work on it, with no hourly meter. A rotted section of siding, a deck or a stain we would rather see than guess at gets a look and a written scope, which is easy with the office in town. The figure holds, and if the siding comes off and shows more than the photo did, the technician stops and calls you before going on.
The Permit Center works from Oregon's statewide residential code, and that code wants no permit for siding repaired or replaced when it is not fire-rated, for a door or window set in its existing opening, for paint, for gutters, or for a deck under 30 inches, and no application at all for an ordinary repair made with like materials. Hillsboro's own pages treat the word repair with more care than most cities, so when a job reaches framing, a ledger or a post that carries a roof, we ask the Permit Center first and pass its answer on to you.
The state licenses electricians and plumbers separately, so electrical and plumbing lines go to a licensed electrician or plumber and we name them on the call. The roof, gas and anything structural belong to the licensed trade for them. A licensed pest company treats carpenter ants; we fix the water they came for and rebuild the wood. Everything else on a repair list, the doors, drywall, siding, trim, fences, decks, gutters and rot, is ours.
The 1990s and 2000s houses and townhomes around the office, with an association scheme, builder-grade doors and siding that went up before Oregon's moisture rules. Their lists: a front door that no longer latches without a shove, a slider on worn rollers, weatherstrip flattened, a stain below a window corner where water got behind the siding, drywall cracks at the corners of the openings, a closet door off its track, a towel bar out of the wall. We reset the hinges and the strike, re-roll the slider, open the stain and rebuild the section with flashing, patch and texture, and match the association's color.
The old farmhouses and bungalows and the 1940s to 1960s houses around them, in cedar siding with fir trim, fir sills and a porch, under trees older than any of it. The list: a fir door binding in a frame that settled, a sash painted shut, the bottom course of siding soft above soil that crept up over the decades, a porch post gone punky at the base, a plaster crack, a screen door off its spring. We plane and rehang, free the sash, splice new cedar into old and match the profile, get the grade back down off the wall, rebuild the post base, and fill the plaster so it stays filled.
The newest houses in the city, built with a drainage gap behind the siding and flashing done right, on valley ground that stays wet all winter. The calls are small and early: a threshold that let water under the sweep, a door that will not latch after the first winter, a deck board that cupped, texture on a drywall patch the builder left rough, caulk pulling at the tub, the shelving, hooks and hardware list of a new house. Small fixes, done to the builder's finish and anchored so they hold.
Call 971-571-5787 or text the list with a photo for each line. Most of a Hillsboro list is priced from the pictures, and because the office is here, a look at the rest is easy to fit in.
The list comes back in writing with the price for the visit, which lines are ours and which go to a licensed electrician or plumber, and the materials and color spelled out for an association form where one is needed.
A Kaminskiy-certified technician leaves Tanasbourne Drive with the truck stocked for the list, works the wet wood first so the splices can be primed before leaving, and checks each line off with you.
The cut-out siding, the old threshold and the dust leave with us. The one-year workmanship warranty is on the invoice, and a door that wants a second adjustment after its first winter is a call, not a bill, from ten minutes away.
In Oregon a Construction Contractors Board license is required of anyone paid to work on a house, with no separate allowance for handymen; the lone exception is a casual one-off by someone outside the trade who does not advertise, which is nobody you would find by searching. Kaminskiy Care and Repair is CCB #252813, bonded and insured, with Kaminskiy-certified, background checked technicians. Electrical and plumbing carry their own state licenses and anything structural needs the right one, so those lines are hand-offs to the licensed trade, named on the call.
The statewide residential code that Hillsboro's Permit Center administers needs no permit to repair or replace siding that is not fire-rated, to replace a door or a window in its own opening, to paint, for gutters and downspouts, or for a deck whose walking surface is under 30 inches, and no application at all for an ordinary repair with like materials, which is what a rebuilt jamb, a rehung door, a spliced course of cedar, a patched wall or new deck boards on a low deck are. The city's pages list repairing a building among the things that can need a permit, so before a job that reaches framing, a ledger or a post that carries a roof, we ask the Permit Center first and tell you its answer.
The planned streets, Orenco Station, Tanasbourne and AmberGlen, and the new South Hillsboro neighborhoods each have an association with a say over the outside of the house. A repair painted or stained to match rarely needs a form; a new color, a new door style or a changed trim profile sometimes does, and we write the materials and finish out so the form takes minutes. Oregon's moisture rules for siding apply to a re-side; a section rebuilt with flashing around a stained window corner is a repair, and we say so plainly when a wall is past repairing and a re-side is the honest answer.
Our office is in Hillsboro. The crew starts the day on Tanasbourne Drive, which is why a Hillsboro call is usually on the calendar within days and a second look is easy. Call 971-571-5787, text a photo, or send the form.

Call 971-571-5787Yes. A Hillsboro list is usually the garage jamb, the front door latch, a stain below a window, a deck board and the shelving, each an hour or less, and one technician clears it in a morning. We price the visit and the work on it, and with the office ten minutes away a part that has to be ordered gets a short second stop instead of a second trip charge.
Electrical and plumbing are licensed separately in Oregon and not ours, so a licensed electrician or plumber takes those lines and we say so on the call. The roof, gas and anything structural go to the licensed trade for them, and carpenter ants to the licensed pest company. Doors, drywall, siding, trim, fences, decks, gutters, rot, caulk and the rest of a repair list are ours.
We answer Monday to Friday, 8 to 4:30, and price most of the list on that call, and because the office is in Hillsboro a visit is usually on the calendar within days, with a look at a bigger job easy to fit in. Exterior paint and stain wait for a dry stretch.
Written, before the truck leaves Tanasbourne Drive: one price 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 rotted siding section or a deck gets a look and a written scope first. Approve the figure and it does not move.
Yes. We put a one-year workmanship warranty on the invoice for every Hillsboro repair, done under CCB #252813 by a Kaminskiy-certified, background checked technician. Anything that wants a second adjustment after its first winter is a call, not a bill, from ten minutes away.
Every Hillsboro neighborhood, starting from the office on Tanasbourne Drive: Orenco Station, Tanasbourne, AmberGlen, Shute Park, Jackson School, South Hillsboro and Reed's Crossing, and out to Aloha, Beaverton, Cornelius, Forest Grove and North Plains. Call 971-571-5787 to confirm your address.
Because a new house settles through its first winter in soil that holds water. The door that latched in August drifts a sixteenth and will not latch in January, the threshold lets water under the sweep, a deck board cups, the drywall at the corners of the openings cracks, and the builder's texture on a patch never matched. None of it is a defect worth a fight; all of it is an hour or two for one technician, and the house stays as the builder finished it.
Not for a repair list. The statewide residential code the Permit Center administers needs no permit to repair or replace siding that is not fire-rated, to replace a door or a window in the same opening, to paint, for gutters, or for a deck under 30 inches, and no application for an ordinary repair with like materials. Hillsboro reads the word repair carefully, so before a job that reaches framing, a ledger or a post that carries a roof we ask the Permit Center and tell you what it said.
