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.
