Saratoga: wooded lots, older doors under deep eaves, and a short village street of shopfronts

The town over the southwestern edge of the map: houses on large wooded lots along roads that climb into the hills, deep eaves and older front doors, and the short run of shops and restaurants along the village street. Twenty-one minutes from the van.

Orchard Gate serving Saratoga

Saratoga divides neatly into two kinds of call. On the residential lots it is the same story that runs through this whole site: a front door hung decades before current hardware existed, an owner who has bought a keypad lock and found it will not sit, and a leaf that has settled far enough to fight its strike. The door is corrected first and the lock goes on second, one visit, $199 to $495 according to how much correcting is needed. Repinning after a purchase is $29 to $47 per cylinder and the count usually includes a garden gate and an outbuilding. In the village it is storefront work at $165 to $489 per opening, exit devices at $315 to $799, and a business lockout at $145 to $265, most of it landing at closing time rather than at opening. Nothing is added for the drive over: the list is the same one printed on this site and the $89 service call is inside every figure. Twenty-one minutes is the honest run and it is said before you agree to wait for it.

For a house, say roughly when it was built and whether the driveway is long or gated. For a shop on the village street, say whether it is the glass front, a rear door onto the service lane, or a door onto a shared stair, and what time you lock up.

Saratoga sits at the edge of the map the van covers, so arrival runs about 21 minutes. Every service and price on this site applies there, with nothing added for the distance.

FAQ

Asked about Saratoga

Is it more expensive because you are coming over from Cupertino?+

No. Same published list, same $89 inside every figure, same evening and overnight additions. The address changes how long you wait, not what you pay, and the wait is quoted before you decide.

Open 24 hours, 7 days

Say the year the house was built, and the rest of the call is short

Cupertino and the west valley, every hour of the day. The age of the door decides the work and the work decides the figure, so the number comes back on the call with the $89 service call and the hour already inside it, and it is the number on the receipt. Ninety days on the labor, in writing.
