Kaminskiy Care and Repair handles bathroom repairs and refresh remodels with one crew on one schedule, from fixtures and caulk to vanities and tile. You get a written scope and price before work begins. We serve Portland and the surrounding Oregon communities.
Nine months of rain and one bathroom for the whole house. We refresh it in days, not weeks.
A Portland refresh makes the one bathroom the whole house shares new without moving a wall: a vanity and top, a tub or shower surround, a shower door, a toilet, faucets, grab bars set into solid backing, a fan that clears the mirror in February, tile and caulk repaired, paint that stands up to steam. New products go in. Caulk and grout alone is never the whole job. The fixture connections are set by a licensed plumber we schedule, the fan's wiring by a licensed electrician.
AFTERBEFOREEvery one of these is a planned visit for a Kaminskiy-certified technician, with a licensed plumber and a licensed electrician we schedule for the connections. One written scope, one crew, days not weeks.
Priced and on the calendar during the first call.
A written scope you approve before anyone drives out.
One crew, the whole list, warranty in writing.
A one-year workmanship warranty, in writing, on every Portland bathroom job.
Steam with nowhere to go. Nearly all of the year's rain falls between October and May, the windows stay shut, and a bathroom with a weak fan or none holds water in the air for hours. It settles on the ceiling corner as mildew, gets behind caulk that has pulled away from the tub, and soaks the drywall behind a surround. Portland's Bull Run water is soft, so scale is rarely the problem here; the wet is.
A refresh keeps the tub, the drain and the walls where they are and replaces what you touch: vanity and top, surround or door, toilet, faucets, grab bars, fan, tile repair, paint. Most Portland bathrooms need exactly that. Moving a drain or a wall, taking the room down to the studs or adding a bathroom is a remodel, and that goes to a remodeling contractor; we say so on the first call.
Oregon licenses both separately, and the plumbing law counts fixtures and fixture traps as plumbing, so the faucet, the trap under the vanity and the toilet connection are set by a licensed plumber we schedule, and the fan's wiring by a licensed electrician. Our crew does the rest: the cabinet, the top, the surround, the door, the tile, the backing and the bars, the caulk and the paint, on the same schedule.
The fan is the whole game. It has to be sized for the room, ducted to the outside and not the attic, and run twenty minutes after a shower. Caulk goes on clean, dry joints over a tub that was filled first, so it sets at the loaded gap. The surround's bottom edge, the door sill and the toilet base get a bead that is checked again a year later, under the warranty.
One small bathroom from the 1910s to the 1940s, often the only one in the house, with a cast iron tub, a window instead of a fan, plaster walls and sixty years of layered paint and caulk. The tub stays and gets a surround and a door, a fan goes in beside the window, the vanity takes the place of the pedestal sink, and the plaster around it is patched before paint. The licensed plumber we schedule sets the faucet, the trap and the toilet.
Midcentury to 1990s homes under firs where nothing dries, with the bathroom on an outside wall. Mildew at the ceiling, a fan ducted into the attic instead of outside, a fiberglass surround gone yellow, an oak builder vanity with a cultured marble top. The surround comes out, the wall behind it is checked for rot, the fan gets a duct to the outside and a licensed electrician for the wiring, and a new vanity, top and door finish it.
Builder-grade baths: particleboard vanities that puff at the toe kick, framed shower doors that drag, a toilet that rocks on a thin flange, a fan never sized for a long shower. In a condo tower the work follows the association's rules, the water shutoff notice and the elevator pad. The turnover list on a rental is the same list, done to the owner's form before the photos.
Call 971-571-5787 or text a photo of the tub wall, the vanity and the fan. Most of the list can be scoped from the pictures and the rest on a short visit.
A technician measures the room, checks the wall behind the surround and the backing for grab bars, and writes a scope that names every product and which connections go to the licensed plumber and the licensed electrician.
Our crew, the licensed plumber and the licensed electrician we schedule come in order on one calendar. The tub stays usable until the day the surround goes in, and you know that day in advance.
Dust walls down, the old vanity and surround hauled off, the caulk lines and the fan checked with you in the room, and a one-year workmanship warranty in writing.
Oregon is plain about it: anyone paid for construction or repair work on a home needs a Construction Contractors Board license, and the board's own list of licensed work names the handyman. Kaminskiy Care and Repair holds CCB #252813, bonded and insured. Plumbing is licensed separately, and the law defines it to include installing, altering or repairing fixtures and fixture traps, so a faucet, a vanity trap or a toilet is set by a licensed plumber we schedule, not by our crew. The only people the plumbing law lets do that work unlicensed are the owner on the owner's own house and the owner's regular employees. Electrical is the same: the fan's wiring is a licensed electrician's job.
The state's own permit page says no plumbing permit is needed to repair or replace a sink, toilet or faucet that is not concealed in a wall, or to resurface shower walls or regrout tile, and the residential code adds that tiling, painting and cabinets need no building permit. Piping altered inside a wall or under the floor is a plumbing permit, a fixture with concealed connections is one in Portland, and a bath fan install is a mechanical permit. The permit each part of the job needs is pulled before the work, and the scope says which.
Oregon's landlord law requires plumbing that conforms to code, hot and cold water at the fixtures, and ventilation kept in good repair, so a rental bathroom refresh is a habitability job as much as a cosmetic one, and we do it to the owner's form. In a Pearl or South Waterfront condo the association sets the hours, the elevator pad and the water shutoff notice, and we follow them. In Irvington, Ladd's Addition and the other historic districts the review is about the outside of the house; a bathroom inside is not what it looks at.
Twenty minutes west on the 26. Our Portland crew dispatches from the office on Tanasbourne Drive in Hillsboro and covers the whole metro, from St. Johns to Sellwood and the West Hills. Call 971-571-5787, text a photo of the bathroom, or send the form, and we answer in under three rings.

Call 971-571-5787Usually not. If the tub, the drain and the walls can stay where they are, a refresh does it: vanity and top, surround or door, toilet, faucets, grab bars, fan, tile repair and paint. Moving a drain or a wall, or taking the room to the studs, is a remodel, and we tell you on the first call so you can call a remodeling contractor.
A licensed plumber we schedule. Oregon's plumbing law counts fixtures and traps as plumbing, so the faucet, the vanity trap and the toilet connection are a licensed plumber's work, not ours. Our crew sets the cabinet, the top, the surround, the door, the bars, the tile, the caulk and the paint, and the plumber's visit is on the same written schedule.
A licensed electrician we schedule. We pick a fan sized for the room and a duct that runs to the outside, never the attic; the wiring is the licensed electrician's, and the fan install takes a mechanical permit under the state's own list, pulled before the work.
A surround and door, a few days, with the tub usable before and after. A full refresh with the vanity, toilet and fan, about a week, with the licensed plumber's and electrician's visits inside it. The schedule is in writing before we start, and we tell you which days the tub and the toilet are out.
It depends on what goes in. Text photos of the room and the list, and a technician writes a scope that names every product, our labor and the licensed plumber's and electrician's parts before anything goes on the calendar. The figure you approve is the figure at the house; if the wall behind the surround is soft, you hear it before we go further.
Yes. A one-year workmanship warranty, in writing, on every Portland bathroom job, done by a Kaminskiy-certified, background checked technician. The licensed plumber's and electrician's work carries their own warranty, and the scope says whose is whose.
Steam with nowhere to go. Nearly all of Portland's rain falls between October and May, the window stays shut, and a fan that is weak, ducted into the attic or never run long enough leaves the water in the air. A fan sized for the room, ducted outside and run twenty minutes after a shower fixes most of it. The ceiling gets cleaned, primed and painted after, and anything past paint goes to a licensed remediation company.
