San Lorenzo: the far edge of the map, small forties houses, and a second home at the back of a good many lots

Twenty-nine minutes is the far edge of the coverage and it is quoted plainly, because a number invented to win a job at that distance gets missed by ten minutes and helps nobody. The houses are small, built in the forties on a strict grid, and eighty years of individual alterations have been applied to them since, which is why the two useful sentences on the call are a cross street and a description of the door. Doorways are narrow and jambs are thin, so a key that has to be lifted and jiggled is usually a worn cylinder rather than a bad key, and repinning at $30 to $47 restores most of them. A four or five cylinder tally covers a typical lot. What brings the island's own question this far south is the space at the back: a converted garage or a studio behind the main house, sometimes let separately, which means one lot with two households and two different people who can approve work on it. The resident calls their own lockout at $132 to $242. Anything both homes pass through comes from the owner.
Give a cross street with the number, since the blocks out here mirror each other closely. Say whether the door is on the main house, a converted garage or a separate unit at the back, and whether a gate or a hedge stands between the sidewalk and it.
San Lorenzo sits at the edge of the map the van covers, so arrival runs about 29 minutes. Every service and price on this site applies there, with nothing added for the distance.

FAQ
Asked about San Lorenzo
Is twenty-nine minutes worth waiting for, or should I call somebody closer?+
That is a fair question and it deserves the real number rather than a hopeful one. Twenty-nine minutes is the average from where the van works, quoted before you decide, and it does not change what you pay. If you need somebody sooner than that, you are better served knowing it at the start of the call than at the end of it.

Alameda and Bay Farm, at any hour. Which leaf it is decides who approves the work, the door itself decides the work, and the work decides the number, which is settled on the phone with the $89 visit and any late hour already inside it. It reads the same on the receipt. Ninety days on the labor, in writing.
