Encino is a place where the outside of a house tells us less than usual, because so many of the houses have been rebuilt. A postwar ranch house can have new walls behind an old front, so we read the photo and not the street.
Send one picture of the job and one from the doorway of the room, and the price comes back by text within the hour.
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.
When we come to the house
- Shoe covers and a cloth. The covers go on before we step inside, and the cloth goes down under the work.
- Your photo, checked against the wall. If what we find isn't what the photo showed, you hear it right there, before any work, and nothing changes without your OK.
- The parts, already named. They were listed in the price text, so you know what is going in before we arrive.
- The clean-up is covered. It was part of the text you said yes to, and it happens before we leave.
What moves an Encino price
- The wall behind the paint. A rebuilt house can have drywall in one room and plaster in the next, and each takes different anchors and time. The photo usually tells us, and we ask when it doesn't.
- The driveway. A long driveway means a long carry. Tell us about it, or about a gate, and the access part of the price is set before you book.
- The new pieces. Weather stripping, a screen frame or a door hinge are listed with the price, so you see what is going in.
There is more on how the price is set.
Photo to price to a day, in four steps
- Text the photo to (310) 857-2520, with your cross streets. We are open every day, 7am to 7pm.
- Within the hour you get the price by text, or one question if the photo leaves one open. The price covers our labor and the clean-up, with the parts named in the same message.
- Reply with a morning or an afternoon that suits you. Most jobs are done inside the week.
- On the day we check the job against the photo before anything starts.

Encino buildings, and what to put in the picture
Royal Oaks
Encino mixes postwar ranch houses with larger custom homes, and many of both have been rebuilt, so in Royal Oaks we ask for one more photo than usual. Send the job, then a second picture from the doorway of the room, so we see the ceiling height and the wall as a whole.
If you know roughly when the house was built or remodeled, put it in the text. It changes what we expect behind the wall, and it can save the one question.
Condos and apartments along Ventura Boulevard
In a building along Ventura Boulevard, send the photo of the job and tell us the floor. If there is a gate code or a building manager who needs to know about work, text that with the photo, and the visit goes on the time you picked without a wait at the door.
For TV mounting in a condo, include the whole wall and the outlet, and text the size of the TV. A wall shared with the next unit is worth mentioning.
Tarzana, next door
Tarzana is inside our area and gets the same reply from the same number. Text the photo with your cross streets.
Photograph the job the same way: one of the spot, one from the doorway. For door repair, shut the door and photograph the latch side so we see the gap.
Asked before sending an Encino photo
My house was remodeled. What should the photo show?
The job, and then a second picture from the doorway of the room, because a remodeled room can have a different wall from the one next to it. Say roughly when it was done, and the price allows for what we see.
What if the photo is blurry or dark?
Send it anyway. If we can't read it, you get one question back, and that costs nothing.
Can I send more than one job in the same text?
Yes, send a photo of each one, and the price text lists them with the parts each needs.
Text your photo to (310) 857-2520 and the Encino price is back within the hour.
The photo price covers Woodland Hills, Sherman Oaks and Van Nuys too.
Point your phone at it. We'll text back a price within the hour.
