On some Arcadia streets a postwar ranch house stands next to a large new home, so the address alone doesn't tell us what we are pricing. Your picture does, and that goes for Upper Rancho, the Highlands and the streets around Baldwin Stocker.
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.
Ranch houses, new homes and hillsides in Arcadia
A large new home in Upper Rancho
For anything high up, get the floor and the ceiling into one shot with a door or a chair for scale. That lets us judge the height and which ladder to bring.
An older ranch house on a big lot
Stand back so the whole door or window shows with its frame, because the trim and hardware tell us a lot about the age of the house. One more shot from the driveway shows how far back the job sits.
A hillside home in the Highlands
Add a picture from the street with the slope and any steps up to your door. We count that as the access part of your price, so we would like to see it before we send the number.
A condo or apartment in south Arcadia
Tell us the floor and any gate code we will need. A shot of the whole room is enough for most jobs in a unit.
What follows once your Arcadia picture reaches us
- We look it over. We read the job, the frame or wall around it and the way in.
- You get the number by text. It covers the work and the clean-up, it lists the parts, and any visit minimum is stated there too.
- You choose the time. Text back a morning or an afternoon that suits you.
- We come and do the work. We check the job against your picture first.
It also helps if your text mentions these:
- How heavy it is. For picture hanging, say roughly how big and heavy the piece is.
- How many there are. If several windows need the same screen work, count them so the price covers all of them.

Screens, sliders and door frames in Arcadia
A torn window screen or screen door
Show the whole opening and then a close-up of one corner, where we can see how the screen sits in its frame. Our page on window and door screens has more on these.
A sliding door that drags
We need the full length of the track and a close look at the bottom corner of the door, where the roller sits. A note on whether it sticks all the way along or in one spot helps too.
A split door frame
Get the whole frame in one shot and the split in another, with the door open so we can see the latch side. Our page on door repair covers the rest.
