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 Salmon Creek and the surrounding Washington communities.
Water from above and from the crawl space. Doors, sills and decks lead the Salmon Creek list.
A Salmon Creek door tells you the season. From the first October rain to June the front door sticks, the jamb feet on a creek-side lot crumble, the North Salmon Creek builder doors sag and the sliders drag, and in the newer subdivisions the first weatherstrip has gone flat and the wood-clad sills are soft at a corner. We plane and seal the door, splice the jamb feet, re-roller the slider, renew the seals, rebuild the sill corner and move down the list.
Each of these is a short stop for a Kaminskiy-certified technician who comes up I-205 from east Vancouver. One list, one call, one visit.
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 Salmon Creek repair.
The Salmon Creek list runs from the roofline to the crawl space: the sticking door, the soft sill, the green deck boards, the nail pops, the flat weatherstrip, and below the floor the access hatch, the vent screens and the vapor barrier that has pulled back. One Kaminskiy-certified technician takes the whole list in one visit with a stocked truck, and anything special-order gets its return trip booked before we leave.
Read us the list or text photos of the door, the sill and the deck, and most Salmon Creek visits are priced on that call, in writing, before a date is set. A creek-side deck, a rotted sill or a soft stretch of subfloor gets a look and a written scope first. The price you approve is the price at the house, and the one-year workmanship warranty is on the invoice.
Salmon Creek is unincorporated Clark County, so the county issues the permits. Painting, carpeting, cabinets, countertops and similar finish work, a fence to seven feet and a low detached deck need none, and the state residential code asks no application for an ordinary repair such as a rehung door, a rebuilt sill, a trim board or a patched wall. The county requires a permit to replace windows or siding and files bigger rot repair under its Alteration, Repair and Specialty permit, so a whole elevation of new siding, a new window or a deck ledger is the question we take to the Permit Center on Franklin Street first.
A circuit, a panel or a re-pipe goes to the licensed electrician or the licensed plumber, because Washington licenses those trades separately. The roof is a roofer's, a gas line is the licensed plumber's or the utility's, a sagging beam is the engineer's question, and standing water in the crawl space or a footing drain is a drainage contractor's job. We do the carpentry, drywall and finish work around all of them, including the hatch, the vent screens and the subfloor patch, and we tell you on the call which lines are someone else's.
The lowest, dampest ground, where decks, fences, door sills and north walls near the water and the trail stay wet most of the year over crawl spaces that never fully dry. Deck boards soften at the ends, railing posts rot at the base, jamb feet crumble and the subfloor by the back door goes spongy. We replace what has gone and keep what is sound, splice the jambs, patch the subfloor and look at the ledger before any deck comes apart.
Family houses from the 1980s and 1990s with wood-clad windows, hardboard trim, engineered lap, builder doors and sliders that run all day. Sill corners soften under the cladding, trim splits at the joints, sliders drag and the garage door trim rots on the slab. We rebuild the sills to shed water, replace the trim to the same profile, re-roller the sliders and set the garage trim off the concrete.
Association streets from the 2000s with the least exposed wood, so the list is weatherstrip and sweeps worn flat, doors settled out of square, nail pops in the drywall and a failed caulk line or drip edge at a wood-clad sill. We renew the seals, square the doors, fix the nail pops, recaulk the sill and match the color, then write the materials down for the board.
Call 360-347-2002 or text photos of the door, the sill and the deck. Most Salmon Creek lists are priced on that call.
You get the list back in writing with a price before anyone drives up I-205. A creek-side deck or a soft subfloor that needs a look gets scheduled for one.
A Kaminskiy-certified technician arrives from NE Park Plaza Drive with a stocked truck and works the list from the sills to the crawl-space hatch.
Every line comes back checked, the house is left clean, and the one-year workmanship warranty is on the invoice.
Washington draws no small-job line: a person paid to construct, alter or repair a house is a contractor, must be registered with the Department of Labor and Industries with a bond and liability insurance behind the registration, and commits a gross misdemeanor by offering or doing the work without it. Kaminskiy Care and Repair is registered with the bond and the insurance in place, and sends Kaminskiy-certified, background-checked technicians. Electrical and plumbing are licensed separately in Washington and go to the licensed electrician or plumber; anything structural goes to the engineer; the carpentry, drywall and finish work around them is ours.
Clark County is the permit office for Salmon Creek. Its list exempts painting, carpeting, cabinets, countertops and similar finish work, a fence to seven feet, a low detached deck and a small shed; it requires a permit to replace windows or siding; and it files minor repairs such as rot repair under its Alteration, Repair and Specialty permit. The state residential code underneath asks no application for an ordinary repair, which is how a rehung door, a rebuilt sill, a trim board or a patched wall reads. A whole elevation of new siding, a new window or a deck ledger is what we ask the Permit Center on Franklin Street about before the work, with the permit in the written scope when one applies.
Nearly every house in Salmon Creek stands over a crawl space, and when it is wet the damage shows upstairs as a soft sill, a sticking door or a spongy floor by the back door. The usual causes are a vapor barrier that has pulled back, vents buried under bark dust and a downspout dumping at the foundation. Ours is the carpentry: the hatch, the vent screens, the subfloor patch, the downspout extension. Standing water or a footing drain belongs to a drainage contractor, and we tell you which you have. On the newer streets an association sets the exterior standards; a repair painted to match rarely needs a form, a changed profile or color sometimes does, and the materials go in writing for the board.
Up I-205 from our office. Your Salmon Creek crew dispatches from our Vancouver office on NE Park Plaza Drive, open every day 8 to 8, so most calls are on the calendar within days. Call 360-347-2002, text a photo, or send the form.
Can't find your answer? Call 360-347-2002 and ask us anything.
Call 360-347-2002Yes. The sticking door, the soft sill, the deck boards, the nail pops, the flat weatherstrip and the crawl-space hatch go on one list, and one Kaminskiy-certified technician with a stocked truck works through it in a single visit. A special-order part gets its return trip scheduled before we leave.
The circuit, the panel and the plumbing, which Washington licenses separately and which go to the licensed electrician or the licensed plumber; the roof; a gas line, which is the licensed plumber's or the utility's; a beam, which the engineer looks at first; and standing water or a footing drain under the house, which is a drainage contractor's. We name those lines on the call and do the carpentry around them.
We answer in under three rings, price most lists on the call and usually have a technician from our east Vancouver office at the house within days, creek side or subdivision.
Describe the list or text photos and the price comes on the call, in writing, before anything is booked. A creek-side deck, a rotted sill or a soft stretch of subfloor gets a look and a written scope first. Nothing gets added at the door.
Yes. A one-year workmanship warranty is written on every invoice, the technician is Kaminskiy-certified and background checked, and Kaminskiy Care and Repair is registered, bonded and insured with the Department of Labor and Industries.
The carpentry. We rebuild the access hatch, replace the vent screens, patch a soft stretch of subfloor, pull the vapor barrier back into place and extend the downspout away from the foundation. Standing water or a footing drain is a drainage contractor's job, and we tell you which you have before anything is started.
Not ordinary repairs or finish work. Clark County leaves painting and similar work alone, and the state residential code asks no application for a rehung door, a rebuilt sill or a patched wall. The county puts window and siding replacement on a permit and files rot repair under its Alteration, Repair and Specialty permit, so a whole wall of siding or a deck ledger is where we check with the Permit Center first.
