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
- Removes sofas, sectionals, recliners, bed frames, dressers, desks, tables and bookcases from any room, including basements and upstairs bedrooms.
- Breaks down bed frames, sectionals and flat-pack pieces so they leave without scraping walls, banisters or door frames.
- Leaves any piece you mark to keep or donate, and hauls the rest with the disposal fee billed at cost from the receipt.
How it works
- Walk the rooms by photo or in person and tag each piece that goes.
- Get a written scope and price, with disposal added at cost from the receipt.
- On the day, floors and corners are padded, pieces come apart where needed, and everything is carried out and tied down.
- Referred out: pianos, safes and hot tubs go to specialty movers; furniture wired into the wall, such as a hard-wired lighted cabinet, is disconnected by a licensed electrician first.
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first; the landfill or transfer-station fee is added at cost from the receipt, and nothing is hauled until you approve the scope.
- 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.
