Nashville doors live in seventy percent humidity most of the year, and it shows: they swell and stick by August, shrink and rattle by January, and the jambs and thresholds rot where the spring storms drive water under the trim. We plane, rehang and seal, replace the weatherstrip and the sill, rebuild the frame, and install the new door you bought.

THE LISTALL DONEEvery one of these is a job a Kaminskiy-certified technician does every week in Nashville. Make the list, call once.
We answer in under three rings and get you priced and scheduled in minutes.
A clear, written quote with upfront pricing. You approve before work begins.
Kaminskiy-certified pros finish the job with a workmanship warranty.
Every job is backed in writing by our workmanship warranty and done by a Kaminskiy-certified, background checked technician.
Victorian cottages and 1910s to 1930s bungalows, many in historic overlays, with original wood doors, windows and porches. Trim rots where the paint failed, porch boards go soft, and a repair has to match what is there. We splice new wood into old, keep the profile, and put the materials in writing for the preservation permit when an overlay asks for one.
Brick ranches and minimal-traditional cottages from the 1940s to the 1960s, and wooded one- and two-acre lots in the satellite cities. The work is doors and sliders at sixty years, fascia and soffit under tired gutters, a damp crawl space, and drywall cracks from the clay. One stocked truck covers a long list on a big lot.
Subdivisions built from the 1970s on, most in associations with a color and fence standard, and lake-side lots around Hendersonville where the wind and the water work on the decks. The list runs to deck boards and railings, fence sections after a storm, caulk and trim on the weather side, and the bathroom items. We match the standard and put it in writing for the form.
The water does the damage here. About fifty inches of rain a year, humidity near seventy percent, July afternoons in the low nineties and January nights at freezing, plus a spring and fall storm season that brings wind, hail and the occasional tornado. Caulk and paint fail first, then the wood behind them, and the jobs are small when they are caught early. Most of what we fix in Nashville waited a season too long.
Doors, drywall, trim, siding, fences, decks, rot, caulk and fixtures are ours. Tennessee licenses electricians and plumbers separately at every size of job, so a new circuit, a relocated outlet, a moved drain or a gas line goes to the licensed trade, and so does a roof, a furnace or anything structural; we tell you so on the call. Termite treatment is the pest company's job; rebuilding what the termites ate is ours.
A door that sticks gets planed and sealed, not replaced; a jamb that is soft at the bottom gets a new piece spliced in, not a new frame. Deck boards that are gray but sound get a wash and a seal, and only the soft ones come out. A window with rotted sash corners is the one place we often say replace, because the repair costs more than the unit. We say which it is on the call, in writing, and you decide.
Metro Nashville publishes a list of what needs a permit on a house. Painting, a like-for-like door swap, a drywall patch under one hundred square feet, gutters, tile and a vanity swap do not. A new or rebuilt deck, deck boards over one hundred square feet, fascia and soffit replacement, railings, a window that changes size, and any cut into framing do. For those we call Metro Codes first and tell you what it said, rather than guess.
The sticking door, the drywall hole, the gate that drags. Call or text it over and we price it on the call, in writing.
Hinges, strikes, weatherstrip, anchors, compound, fasteners and the common parts ride on the truck, so one visit usually clears the list.
Anything that needs opening a wall, rebuilding a frame or matching a finish gets a look and a written price before we start.
We tidy up, walk you through what was done, and the one-year workmanship warranty is in writing.
Tennessee licenses by the size of the job. A project of twenty-five thousand or more, labor and materials together, needs a state contractor license. Davidson County is one of nine counties that adopted the state's home improvement license law, so a residential repair or remodel priced from three thousand up to the contractor line needs a state home improvement license, with a bond and liability insurance behind it; under three thousand no state license is required. Williamson County, where Brentwood is, and Sumner County, where Hendersonville is, have not adopted that law, so there only the contractor line applies. Kaminskiy Care and Repair is licensed, bonded and insured as a company, and your crew prices the job on the call, in writing, so you know which tier it falls in before anyone comes out.
Metro Codes keeps a plain list. No permit: a fence, as long as it meets the zoning height of six feet in the front yard and eight feet on the sides and rear; a door replaced in the same opening; drywall repair under one hundred square feet; siding repair under one hundred square feet; painting, wallpaper, gutters, tile, floor refinishing, glass in the same frame, and a vanity with no new plumbing. Permit: a new or replaced deck, deck boards over one hundred square feet, deck footings or framing, fascia and soffit replacement, guardrails and railings, carpentry that replaces a joist, rafter or stud, a window that changes size or style, removing a wall even if it is not load-bearing, and roofing over a third of the roof. Where a job crosses that line we call Metro Codes before we quote.
Belle Meade, Forest Hills and Oak Hill are their own cities inside Davidson County and run their own building and codes desks; Belle Meade issues its own permits for decks, fences and driveways, and Brentwood's Planning and Codes department treats window replacement as permitted work, not exempt. East Nashville's historic overlays, Edgefield and Lockeland Springs among them, ask for a preservation permit before a fence or exterior change. The post-1970 subdivisions in Brentwood and Hendersonville mostly have an association with a color and fence standard: a repair painted to match rarely needs a form, a new color or a changed fence line usually does, and we put the materials in writing for it.
A local Nashville crew, one national number. Kaminskiy has no office in Nashville. The work is done by a local Nashville crew that we dispatch through our national line, scheduled by phone and priced on the call, in writing, usually within days. Call 615-471-6410, text a photo, or send the form.
Can't find your answer? Call 615-471-6410 and ask us anything.
Call 615-471-6410You call our national line, we price the job on the call, and a local Nashville crew is scheduled by phone, usually within days. There is no office here and no truck sitting in a lot; the crew lives and works in the metro and comes to you with the parts for the list.
Tell us the list, or text a photo of the worst item, and you get the price on the call, in writing, before anything is scheduled. There is no mystery service fee waiting at the house. A bigger job, a rotted frame or a bathroom refresh, gets a look first and a written scope.
That is how Nashville homeowners use us. The sticking door, the drywall crack, the fence gate and the ceiling fan go on one list, and one Kaminskiy-certified technician works through it with a stocked truck. Anything that needs a part we do not carry gets scheduled before we leave.
It depends on the size of the job. Tennessee asks for a state contractor license at twenty-five thousand and up, and in Davidson County a home improvement license from three thousand up to that line; under three thousand no state license is required. Electrical and plumbing go to licensed electricians and plumbers at any size. Kaminskiy Care and Repair is licensed, bonded and insured as a company, every technician is Kaminskiy-certified and background checked, and we tell you on the call which tier your list falls in.
Usually not. Metro Codes exempts painting, a door replaced in the same opening, drywall and siding repair under one hundred square feet, gutters, tile and a vanity swap, and a fence that meets the zoning height. A new or rebuilt deck, fascia and soffit replacement, railings, a window that changes size and any framing work need a permit, and for those we call Metro Codes first and tell you what it said.
Yes, the same local crew. What changes is the permit desk: Belle Meade, Forest Hills and Oak Hill issue their own permits, Brentwood permits window replacement, and Hendersonville has its own Building and Codes office. We check the right desk for the address before we quote, and the price and the schedule work the same way.
