What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Burned-out bulbs changed in vaulted ceilings, stairwells, entry chandeliers and two-story foyers
- Every bulb in a fixture matched for base, color and brightness, with long-life LEDs so the climb happens less often
- Broken or stuck bulbs backed out of the socket with the fixture switched off, and the glass cleaned up
How it works
- List the fixtures, bulb bases and any dimmer switches so the right bulbs are on hand
- Switch the fixture off, let the bulbs cool, and set a ladder tall enough that no one stands on the top step
- Replace the bulbs, then switch everything on to check that each fixture lights and dims the way it should
- Referred out: a fixture that stays dark with a good bulb, flickers, smells hot or needs replacing goes to a licensed electrician
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first; nothing is started until you approve it, and the work is lined up around your deadline.
- 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.
Every job 24/7 Express Handyman Service takes on is under $3,000 including labor, materials and any change orders (Utah Code §58-55-305); a change that would push a job over that line is referred to a licensed contractor, not written up as a second job. plumbing, electrical, HVAC, gas appliance / combustion system work is referred to a licensed trade.
