Uptown Whittier is where you find the older Spanish and Craftsman homes, and a handyman in Whittier has to treat those walls differently from a postwar ranch wall or an apartment wall. Each of them has a column on the install board, and your flat price comes from that column and the install.
What comes with every install
- One flat price each. The board price is the price for that install.
- Free to quote. Install days are same-week, Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm.
- A text within two hours. We confirm your price and your day by text, between 7am and 7pm.
- Level before we pack up. You see the bubble centered before we leave.
- A one-year workmanship warranty. If it comes loose, we come back at no charge.
Uptown Whittier plaster and postwar ranch walls
- Plaster. The older Spanish and Craftsman homes near Uptown Whittier usually have plaster over lath, and an original room in a ranch home may have a thin coat.
- Drywall. Apartments and remodeled rooms are usually drywall.
- Brick or concrete. A fireplace wall in any of these homes is the likely spot.
How they are priced is on the install board. Do not worry if you cannot tell which you have. We can give you the price for each one it might be and settle it at the door before anything is drilled.
Just moved in off Whittier Boulevard
If you have just moved in off Whittier Boulevard or Colima Road, all your installs can go on one install day.
- Your total. Each piece has its board price, and we text you the sum of them before we hold the day.
- Your morning. You tell us what goes first, and we work from there.
- Your building. If you are in an apartment or a condo, tell us the gate code, whether there is a visitor space and whether the building manager wants a heads-up.
- Renters near Uptown. Please check with your landlord before we drill. We can patch the holes at your old place too, quoted in writing.
TV mounting and other installs for Whittier homes
- The TV. You might pick the plaster wall in a Spanish living room or the brick above the fireplace, and each has its own column. Our TV mounting page shows the brackets for both.
- Mirrors and pictures. Frames down a hall or a heavy mirror over a dresser go on our picture and mirror hanging price.
- Floating shelves. We fix a hidden bracket to the wall, so all you see is the shelf, and you check the level with us.
- Curtain rods. We hang a long rod over a wide window so the middle stays up, even with heavy curtains.
- Furniture. Our furniture assembly price covers the flat-pack, and we can anchor a tall dresser or bookcase.
If you need weather stripping, window caulking or a new window screen on the same visit, those are quoted in writing. Our pages on drywall repair, door repair and window screen replacement cover the other repairs.
Settling a few things before your Whittier install day
Is it more if I live up toward the Puente Hills?
No. A home off Turnbull Canyon Road and an apartment near Uptown Whittier pay the same for the same wall. Please tell us about a steep drive or stairs so we can plan to carry a big TV.
Is Whittwood on your install days?
Yes. The streets around Whittwood Town Center and along the 605 Freeway get our same-week install days, like the rest of Whittier.
Do you charge more for plaster?
Yes, one step more than drywall, since the screws have to go farther to reach a stud. You see that on the board before you book, so it is no surprise on the day.
Call (310) 857-2520 and tell us what is going on the wall, and we will text you your flat price and your install day.
