Hawthorne has plenty of apartment buildings with carports or shared garages, so along with the job, please tell us how far it is from there to your door. In a small stucco house, a single shot of the room is often all we need.
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 raises or lowers a Hawthorne price
Three things set the number:
- The surface. Hanging a picture on plain drywall takes less time than going into tile or older plaster, and the photo usually shows which one you have.
- The way in. A ground-floor unit next to the carport is the easy case. A walk up the stairs from a shared garage takes longer, and you will see that in the price.
- Wood and fixtures. A door frame repair may need new wood, and a faucet has to be bought. The reply names them.
These details help us get it right the first time:
- Your floor and unit number. It saves us a question later.
- Whether you own or rent. If you rent, you can pass the price along to your landlord.
Door frames, sliders and caulk: the shots that help
A door frame repair
Open the door and take the whole frame, then go in close on the split, which tends to be around the latch. Our page on door repair has more.
A sliding door or screen door that sticks
Get the whole door and its track in one shot, then the bottom corner up close. Tell us if it sticks all along or at one spot, because that helps us tell a sliding door repair from a dirty track.
Shower caulk or bathroom caulk
With the light on, show the whole tub or shower, then the corner where the old bead has pulled away. We can usually see from that how much needs to come out.
A new kitchen faucet
We need the faucet from the front and the space under the sink with the cabinet doors open. If it looks like work for a plumber, the reply says that.
What to show from a Hawthorne apartment or house
An apartment with a carport or shared garage
Tell us which stairs go up to your door from the carport. Mention whether the wall in the picture is shared with the next unit.
A small postwar stucco house
Step back as far as the room lets you, and keep a door or light switch in the shot for scale. A close-up of the damage finishes it off.
A larger home with an attached garage
Say which room and which floor the job is on. With the garage attached, we rarely need a picture of the way in.
A place in Lennox next door
Send the same pictures from there, and we price the job the same way.
Off El Segundo Boulevard, Imperial Highway or the 105 and 405 freeways, you can text your photo to (310) 857-2520 any morning or afternoon.
The photo price covers Inglewood, El Segundo and Manhattan Beach too.
Point your phone at it. We'll text back a price within the hour.
