In Federal Heights
Most of the bungalows and English Tudor cottages in Federal Heights are in the original Federal Heights subdivision, while most of the Colonial Revival and Neo-Classical residences are in the Bonneville-on-the-Hill development above it. (National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: Edward & Harriett Rosenbaum House (Utah SHPO)) The Federal Heights land was annexed to Salt Lake City in October 1907, and by 1909 its developer was surveying, platting, grading and improving the subdivision's streets and building lots. (National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: Edward & Harriett Rosenbaum House (Utah SHPO)) Federal Heights borders two protected open spaces, the Red Butte Canyon Research Natural Area and the Tomahawk Natural Area, and has access to numerous hiking trails on the foothills. (Federal Heights Neighborhood | Council District 3 (SLC.gov)) In the Bonneville-on-the-Hill section of Federal Heights, lot sizes were increased and parcels sold ad hoc, and wealthy families built increasingly grander mansions there from the 1920s into the 1970s. (National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: Edward & Harriett Rosenbaum House (Utah SHPO)) About 30,000 typical brick homes built in Salt Lake City before 1970 are considered unreinforced masonry houses, which emergency management experts call an enormous safety risk in a major earthquake.

What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Clears furniture, beds, appliances, boxes and household goods room by room once the family has taken what it wants
- Sets aside papers, photos, cash, keys and anything that looks personal for the family instead of tossing it
- Routes usable furniture and building materials to donation and the rest to the landfill
How it works
- A walk-through with the person handling the estate to mark what stays, what is donated and what goes
- Medications and hazardous products such as paint, chemicals and propane are set aside for take-back or a household hazardous waste drop-off
- Room-by-room clear-out with a box for any personal papers or valuables found, then a sweep of each emptied room
- Referred out: disconnecting gas ranges, dryers or hardwired appliances goes to a licensed trade, and pianos, safes and hot tubs go to a specialty mover
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first; disposal is billed at cost from the landfill or transfer-station receipt, and only the person with authority over the estate approves what leaves.
- 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.
