Altadena's older homes and its new houses sit side by side, many of them on big lots with a detached garage, so please tell us in your text which building the job is in. A picture of the room won't show us how far we are carrying the tools.
We read the rest from the photo. If something is unclear, you get one question back before the number.
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 our visit to your Altadena house is like
- We go straight to the job. You already told us whether it is in the house or the garage out back, so we head there first.
- We compare it with your picture. If the job has changed or there is more to it, we tell you then.
- The clean-up is in the price. We leave the room tidy, and the text you got already covered that.
Why one Altadena price differs from the next
- The walk to the job. On a big lot the work can be a long way from the street. A picture from the driveway shows us that, and the price text says if it adds anything.
- The kind of wall. A drywall patch in a new house is quicker than blending a repair into the wall of an older Craftsman or Spanish home, and your picture usually tells us which one you have.
- New pieces. A sliding door screen replacement needs a new screen, and a door frame repair may need new wood. The reply lists them for you.
There is a longer note on how the price is set.
Three Altadena homes and the picture each one needs
An older Craftsman or Spanish home
Stand far enough back to get the door and all of its trim in the frame, then add a close-up of the split or loose spot. We look at how the old wood meets the wall before we price door repair.
A ranch house with a detached garage
Send the job first, then one picture that shows the driveway and the garage together. For a window screen repair, get the whole window and one corner of the frame so we can see how the screen is held in.
A new house you just moved into
Here the picture is mostly about where things are going. For picture hanging or TV mounting, show the whole wall with a light switch or door in the shot, and tell us what is going up.
The number to text is (310) 857-2520, and we are open every day from 7am to 7pm.
We read photos from Pasadena, La Crescenta and Glendale the same way.
Point your phone at it. We'll text back a price within the hour.
