Saranap is not on the city grid and it does not behave like it. The lanes off Boulevard Way and Olympic Blvd are narrow, some are one car wide with a turnout, and house numbers sit on posts that the hedge grew over years ago. Half the driveways go up, which means the front door may be a flight above the street and the parking may be the shoulder. Sixteen minutes is honest for the flat end near Olympic; the higher lanes take a few more, and that is said on the call rather than left as a surprise. The rate does not change for a hillside. A house lockout is $115 to $195 whether the door is at the curb or up thirty steps.
The housing mix means two different jobs on the same street. A 1940s cottage with a wooden screen door and a worn knob set wants servicing or a modern bolt fitted carefully into an old stile, at $109 to $295 per door. The new build next to it came with builder cylinders and sometimes a keypad the previous owner set up and never explained, which is a smart lock reset or replacement at $169 to $430 including new codes and the app handed over properly. Between the two, the most common request is simply one key for everything: front, back, the door into the garage and the gate padlock, at $23 to $39 per cylinder. On these lots that also removes the habit of leaving a key somewhere outside, which on a lane this quiet is easier to do than most people admit.
Give a cross street and something visible from the road, a mailbox color or the last house number that is actually legible, and say whether the van should pull into the driveway or stay on the shoulder.

FAQ
Asked about Saranap
Does sixteen minutes hold for the lanes that climb?+
It holds for the flat end near Olympic Blvd and Boulevard Way. The higher lanes add a few minutes, sometimes five, because they are one car wide with turnouts and the house numbers on the posts disappeared into the hedge years ago. That extra is said on the call, and the price for the work does not move for a hillside.
Where should the van park on a lane this narrow?+
Say on the call whether the driveway takes a van or whether the shoulder is the only option, and whether the door is at road level or up a flight of steps. On the tighter lanes a van left in the wrong place blocks a neighbor for the whole visit, which is much easier to avoid than to apologize for afterwards.
The keypad on the house was set up by the previous owner. Can that be undone?+
Yes. The lock is reset to a fresh administrator account, every old code and paired phone is cleared, and the app is handed over with the codes you choose written down on paper. If the unit is a builder model with no support left behind it, it is replaced inside the published range and the old one leaves with the technician.
