Small jobs that have waited a while are what we are for: a door that sticks, a screen with a tear, a box of furniture still taped shut. Send a photo of each one and the price comes back by text, with no one driving out to look first.
We cover Woodland Hills from the 101 Freeway out to Serrania Park, and the same number works from Tarzana and Canoga Park next door.
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 changes the price in Woodland Hills
- The wall it goes on. A postwar ranch house and a newer condo building do not have the same walls, and the anchors and the time differ with them. The photo usually settles it.
- How far we carry. A job up a flight of stairs or across a big lot takes longer to get to, and that goes into the price. Tell us the floor, or send a photo from the street.
- What has to be replaced. Weather stripping, a screen frame or a hinge are named in the price text, so you see what is going in before you say yes.
Our page on how the price is set has the rest.
Four Woodland Hills jobs and how to photograph them
Weather stripping on a front door
When daylight shows around a closed door, or dust gets in on a windy day, the weather stripping has usually flattened or come away. We replace it, and our page on door repair covers the door itself if it has dropped or sticks.
Shut the door from inside with the lights off and photograph the edges where you can see light. Then take one photo of the whole door from outside.
Caulk around the windows
The caulk around the outside of a window frame cracks and pulls away from the wall over time, and the job is to cut out the old bead and run a new one. We do window caulking inside and out.
Photograph each window from outside, then a close-up of the worst gap, and tell us how many windows. Say if any are on a second story, because that moves the access part of the price.
Furniture still in the box
For furniture assembly the price depends on what is in the box and where it is going, so a tall bookcase is more than a side table. If it should be anchored to the wall, that goes in the same text.
Send a photo of the box label and one of the space where it will stand. If there are several boxes, one photo of the pile is fine.
A window screen that needs replacing
With window and door screens, a torn screen gets new mesh in the old frame, or a new frame if the old one is bent, and the photo tells us which.
Take the photo from inside with the window open so the frame and its corners show, and count how many screens you want done.
On the day
- Shoe covers before the doorstep. They go on before we step inside, and a cloth goes down under the work.
- A look at the job first. We check it 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 clean-up is in the price. Your price text covered our labor and the clean-up, so the room is left as we found it, with the job done.
Three questions from Woodland Hills
Can I send a photo on a Sunday?
Yes, we are open every day, 7am to 7pm, and a Sunday photo gets the same reply within the hour as a Tuesday one.
What does the price text cover?
Our labor and the clean-up, with the parts the job needs named in the same message. If there is a minimum for a visit, it is stated in that text too.
Is the price higher for an upstairs apartment?
It can be, because carrying adds time, and the text says so before you book. Tell us the floor with the photo.
Woodland Hills houses, and the two places next door
Ranch houses on the flat streets
Woodland Hills has postwar ranch houses on its flat streets, and a ranch house photo is the easiest kind to price because the wall is in plain view. Take it with a door or a switch plate in the frame.
If the house has been remodeled, say so and tell us roughly when, because a remodeled room does not always have the same wall as the rest of the house.
Apartments and condos
In an apartment or condo, send the photo of the job and tell us the floor, and whether the wall is one you share with the next unit.
Take the wall photo in daylight with the lamp off, because the texture shows better and the texture is part of what we read.
Tarzana and Canoga Park, next door
Both are inside our area and the photo price works the same. Text the picture to the same number and tell us which one you are in, with the cross streets.
If the house is up a hill or down a long drive, add a photo from the street, and we price the carrying with the job.
Text the photo to (310) 857-2520, seven days a week, and the price is back within the hour.
Encino and Calabasas get the same reply from the same number.
Point your phone at it. We'll text back a price within the hour.
