Santa Clarita is commuter country, and the photo price fits it well: you send the picture whenever you have a minute, nobody comes out to look, and the first visit is the one that does the work.
Off Bouquet Canyon Road or along Sierra Highway, the reply comes from the same number, with the parts the job needs named in the same message.
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.
Four Santa Clarita jobs, and the photo for each
TV mounting in Santa Clarita
For TV mounting we need to see the wall, the outlet and the TV, and the bracket if you have one. A TV above a fireplace is a different job from a TV on a plain wall, so if that is the plan, say so.
Photograph the whole wall with the outlet in the frame, and text the size of the TV. If the bracket is still in its box, a picture of the box label is enough.
A patio slider that drags
A slider that drags or jumps usually needs new rollers, and sometimes the track has worn with them. We do sliding door repair as well as hinged door repair, and both start from a photo.
Open the slider a hand's width and photograph the bottom track along its length, then a close-up of the corner where the roller is. If the screen door drags too, send it in the same text.
Caulk around the shower or tub
When the caulk around a shower has gone dark or pulled away, we strip it and run a new bead, and the same goes for the bathroom caulk around a sink or a tub.
Take one photo of the whole tub edge or shower base, and one close-up of the worst corner. Daylight is better than the bathroom light for this one.
A kitchen faucet to swap
We swap a kitchen faucet like for like when the new one is already bought and the shutoff valves under the sink turn. If the photo shows work for a plumber instead, the reply says so.
Photograph the faucet from above, then open the cabinet and photograph the two shutoff valves and the hoses. The label on the new faucet's box is the third picture.
What moves the price out here
- The kind of wall. The photo tells us what the wall is made of, and that sets the anchors and how long the job takes.
- Getting to it. A job at the back of a three-car garage or up the stairs in a townhome takes longer to reach, and on a horse property in Sand Canyon it may not be in the house at all. Say where it is and we price the walk with it.
- The heat. Summer heat here dries out caulk and weather stripping faster, so the photo sometimes shows a part to replace where a cooler town would get an adjustment.
- What is going in. Rollers, caulk or a faucet are named in the price text, so you see it all before you say yes.
Four steps from photo to finished job
- Text the photo to (310) 857-2520 with your cross streets. We are open every day, 7am to 7pm.
- Within the hour you get a price by text, or one question if the photo leaves one open.
- 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 first, and if anything is different you hear it before any work starts.
Our page on how it works says the same thing at more length, and how the price is set covers the money.
Canyon Country and Sand Canyon, read from the photo
Tract houses in Canyon Country
Across Santa Clarita the common house is a detached tract home built from the 1960s on, with a two- or three-car garage attached. If that is yours, in Canyon Country or anywhere else in the valley, one photo of the room is usually enough.
If the job is in the garage, photograph the whole wall with the floor in it, and say whether a car will need moving on the day.
Horse properties in Sand Canyon
Out in Sand Canyon the lots are bigger and the job is not always in the house. Tell us where it is on the property and send a photo from the drive, so we know how far to carry.
Photograph the job itself the same way as anywhere else, from a few steps back with something in the frame for scale. For a porch screen that has torn, our page on window and door screens shows what to include.
Before you send a Santa Clarita photo
Is Canyon Country inside your area?
Yes, we cover all of Los Angeles County, and Santa Clarita is in it, so Canyon Country, Sand Canyon and the streets off Sierra Highway all get the same reply from the same number.
What if it turns out to be a plumber's job?
If the photo shows work for a plumber or an electrician, the reply says so, and nothing is booked. A faucet swap is ours; a valve that will not shut is a plumber's.
Does the reply cost anything if I don't book?
No, the reply costs nothing, whatever you send, and there is no visit to pay for because nobody comes out to look.
One photo to (310) 857-2520 is all it takes, and the price is back within the hour.
You can send us a photo from Palmdale, Northridge or the San Fernando Valley too.
Point your phone at it. We'll text back a price within the hour.
