What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Assembles the crib, changing table and glider to the maker's instructions and checks every bolt, bracket and slat before the mattress goes in.
- Installs screw-mounted safety gates at the top of stairs and pressure gates at doorways where the maker allows them.
- Anchors dressers, bookcases and the TV to the wall, adds cabinet latches and plug-in outlet covers, and moves the crib away from windows and blind cords.
How it works
- Photos of the nursery, the stairs and the boxed products come in first so the right anchors and gate kits are on hand.
- The job is priced in writing before work starts.
- The crib is built first, then stair gates, then furniture anchoring and latches, and the finished setup is walked through with the parents.
- Referred out: tamper-resistant outlet swaps and any new wiring (licensed electrician); window guards on upper floors that need exterior work are quoted separately.
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first; the visit is then booked around the deadline, and photos of the finished work follow.
- Photograph the damage before anything is moved and keep every receipt; 24/7 Express Handyman Service provides an itemised invoice your insurer may ask for. The dispatch fee and job cost are paid by you on the day.
