What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Moves stacked firewood, scrap lumber and brush piles away from walls, decks and fences to a spot the homeowner picks.
- Sets up a simple rack on gravel or bare ground so the new stack stays off the soil and away from the house.
- Rakes bark, chips and litter out of the old pile's footprint and hauls away rotten wood and loose brush.
How it works
- The new wood location is chosen with the homeowner, at least 30 feet from the house and clear of fences and sheds where the lot allows.
- The move is priced in writing based on pile size and carry distance.
- Wood is hand-carried or wheeled to the new spot and restacked, then the old footprint is raked clean.
- Referred out: tree removal or limbing near power lines or above ladder reach (arborist) and pesticide treatment of insect-infested wood.
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first; photos of the new stack and the cleared wall area follow the visit.
- 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.

(Unreinforced Masonry | Earthquakes (Utah Division of Emergency Management)) Utah updated its building codes in the 1970s to outlaw construction of new unreinforced masonry buildings, so URM buildings are typically older structures.
