We can tell a lot about a job from one photo, whether it is in an older Craftsman or Spanish bungalow or in one of the apartments and townhomes around Alhambra.
What we can't tell from a close-up is how you reach it, so if the job is at the back of a long driveway, send one more picture and we can price the walk as well.
What you get when you send a photo
- A price within the hour. We text it back, or ask one question if the photo leaves one open.
- The reply costs nothing. That is true whatever you send.
- Open every day, 7am to 7pm. Most jobs go on a morning or an afternoon you pick, and they are done inside the week.
- No surprises at the door. If what we find isn't what the photo showed, you hear it right there, before any work.
- A year on our workmanship. If it comes loose, that visit is free.
What sets the price on an Alhambra job
- The walk down the driveway. A detached garage at the far end means more carrying, and we can usually see that from one picture taken at the street.
- The age of the wall. Older bungalow walls and newer apartment walls take different anchors and different time, and that goes for any drywall and plaster repair.
- The stairs. An upstairs apartment or a townhome with the job on the top floor adds time, so please tell us the floor.
- What goes in. A new door knob or a patio door roller is listed right beside the price.
There is more about how the price is set if you want it.
Bungalows, apartments and what the picture has to show
Craftsman and Spanish bungalows in Emery Park
Please keep some of the old woodwork in the shot, such as the door casing or the baseboard. It helps us judge the age of what we are working on, and that tells us more than a tight close-up.
For patching holes in drywall or plaster, take the hole first with a coin beside it, then the whole wall from a few steps back.
Apartments and townhomes off Garfield Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard
Tell us which floor the job is on, and whether the wall in the picture has a neighbor on the other side. A wide shot of the room is usually enough beyond that.
If you have more than one job in the unit, one picture of each is plenty.
El Sereno, next door
El Sereno is inside our area, and the reply comes from the same number. Text your cross streets along with the picture.
Take the picture the way you would in Alhambra, with the job in the middle of the shot and enough of the room around it to show the size.
What you will see on the day
- The floor you told us. In an upstairs apartment or a townhome, we head straight up to the job.
- A quick look against your picture. If what we find isn't what you sent, you hear it before any work.
- A clean room when we leave. The clean-up is in the price you were texted.
Alhambra questions we can answer now
Can you do a TV installation on a bungalow wall?
Yes, show us the whole wall and the nearest outlet, and tell us the size of the TV. Our page on TV mounting says what else to include.
Can you fix a door knob and do a patio door repair on one visit?
Yes, send a photo of each, with the patio door open halfway so the track shows, and the reply prices the door repair and the knob together.
Is there a minimum?
If a visit minimum applies, it is stated in the price text, so you know before you say yes. That is how it works on every job.
Text your photo to (310) 857-2520 from anywhere around the 10 Freeway or the 710 Freeway, and the price is back within the hour.
