Small repairs in Saratoga.

Half an hour from me. As with Los Gatos, a Saratoga visit works best with a list rather than a single task.

HOUSESWhat I find behind the walls in Saratoga.

The houses here

Larger houses on larger lots

More doors, more bathrooms, more of everything that needs occasional attention. The visits here are longer and they cover more ground, which is the right way to use the hourly rate.

Long runs of cabinetry

Kitchens with twenty-odd doors drift out of line gradually, and all of them can be brought back in one go. It is the single most satisfying job on the list and the cheapest per door.

Outdoor woodwork

Shade structures, gates and outdoor units take weather here. I will repair and refit, though anything structural needs a licensed contractor.

CALLSRanked by how often the phone rings about them.

What Saratoga calls about

Cabinet and door alignment across a whole house, shelving, exhaust fans and outdoor timber that needs refitting rather than replacing.
