Salt Lake City has an estimated 30,000 brick homes built before 1970 that the city classifies as unreinforced masonry construction, and its Fix the Bricks program provides financial assistance to retrofit these older homes against earthquake damage.

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.
