Glendale runs from 1920s Spanish and Tudor houses to apartment buildings near Colorado Street, so the first thing your photo tells us is which of those we are pricing.
If an older house needs one more picture from you, the reply says which one.
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.
Hillside, older house or apartment: the picture we need in Glendale
Steep drives in Adams Hill
Please send a picture from the street looking up the driveway, because a steep drive decides how far we carry. Inside the house, step back far enough that the ceiling and the whole wall are in the shot.
Older homes in Verdugo Woodlands and Oakmont
In a Spanish, Tudor or Craftsman home, keep the old door hardware and the trim in the shot, since we read the age of the house from them. If the job is in a detached garage, add a picture of the narrow driveway that goes back to it.
Apartments and condos Downtown
Tell us the floor and whether there is an elevator, then photograph the job as you would in a house.
What to expect at your Glendale door
- We cover our shoes and your floor. The covers go on at the door, and a cloth goes under the work.
- We hold your photo up to the job. If the two differ, you hear about it before any work, and nothing changes without your OK.
- We take our mess with us. The clean-up is in the price you already have.
Pictures, caulk, sliders and faucets: how to photograph them
Pictures to hang
For picture hanging, lean the frames against the wall where you want them and take one photo of them all. Tell us how many there are and roughly how heavy the biggest one is, because that decides what we use to hold it.
A sliding door or a screen door
For a sliding door repair, open it halfway and shoot the bottom track, then the whole door. For a screen door repair, show the frame and the torn part together, and we price it like any of our window and door screens.
Bathroom caulk that has cracked
Take one picture from the bathroom door, then a close-up of the worst stretch of caulk. If what shows behind it looks like a leak, the reply tells you it is a job for a plumber.
A kitchen faucet replacement
Photograph the faucet from the front, then open the cabinet and take one picture of what is under the sink. That second picture tells us more than the first.
Why one Glendale job costs more than another
- Getting to it. A steep drive in Adams Hill or a long, narrow driveway off Glenoaks Boulevard adds time, and the text tells you it is in the price.
- Plaster or drywall. Older plaster and newer drywall take different anchors and different time. Your wide picture usually shows us which you have, and our page on drywall and plaster repair explains the difference.
- The age of the door. Door repair on a 1920s frame can take more fitting than on a newer one, so we want the whole frame in the shot.
- The new part. The new faucet, a screen or a hinge is named in the same message as your price.
Whether you are up near Brand Park or down by Forest Lawn, text the photo to (310) 857-2520 and the price comes back within the hour.
Homes in Burbank, Pasadena and La Crescenta get the same photo price.
Point your phone at it. We'll text back a price within the hour.
