We do small home repair all over Torrance, whether you are off Del Amo Boulevard, near Pacific Coast Highway or up on the hillier streets of Hollywood Riviera, and the price comes from your photo, not from a visit.
One clear picture of the job is usually enough for a price by text. If it leaves something open, we ask one question and then send the number.
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 happens when we come out to Torrance
- Shoe covers go on first. They go on before we step inside, and a cloth goes down under the work.
- We check the job against your photo. 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 were named in the text. Your price covers our labor and the clean-up, and the parts the job needs were listed in the same message, so you know what is going in.
- We clean up before we leave. The clean-up is part of the price you were texted.
Torrance houses, and what to put in the photo
Tract houses in Southwood
If you are in Southwood and the house is one of the postwar tract houses with the garage attached, one photo from a few steps back usually shows us all we need. Take it far enough back that the wall, the floor and a door or light switch are in the frame.
That gives us the size of the job, and for TV installation it shows how far the TV will sit from the nearest outlet. Our page on TV mounting says what else to include.
The hillier streets of Hollywood Riviera
Up in Hollywood Riviera the streets are hillier, so how far we carry the tools can differ from one house to the next. That is the access part of the price, so please add a second photo taken from the street, showing the front of your house.
Inside, photograph the job the same way as anywhere else. For a patio door repair, stand inside with the door shut and include the whole track and the bottom corner where the roller sits.
Condos and townhomes
In a condo or townhome, tell us which floor the job is on and whether the wall in the photo is shared with the next unit. Both go into the price text.
For a wall you want something hung on, step back far enough to show the whole of it.
What moves a Torrance price
- Drywall, plaster or tile. Each one takes different anchors and different time, and the photo usually tells us which one you have.
- The access. A ground-floor room with a driveway out front is the easy case. A hillier street in Hollywood Riviera or an upstairs apartment takes longer to reach, and the price reflects that.
- Metal near the beach. Closer to the beach the salt air is hard on metal, so a patio door roller or a door knob can need replacing instead of a fix. The parts are named in the same message as the price.
Two questions before you send a Torrance photo
Does someone come out to look first?
No, the price comes from your photo, by text, and the first time we drive over is to do the work. If the photo leaves something open, we ask one question instead of booking a visit to look.
Can I send a door knob and some holes in the drywall in the same text?
Yes, send a photo of each, and the reply prices them together, with the parts named. We are glad to do door repair and drywall and plaster repair on the same visit.
Text the photo to (310) 857-2520 whenever suits you between 7am and 7pm, and the price is back within the hour.
The photo price covers Hawthorne, Carson and Redondo Beach too.
Point your phone at it. We'll text back a price within the hour.
