What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Sorts garage contents into keep, donate and haul piles with you, then loads the haul pile.
- Hauls broken furniture, old bikes, lumber scraps, boxes, carpet remnants and worn-out tools and shelving.
- Sweeps the floor once it is clear and sets paint, chemicals and fuel cans aside for a household hazardous waste drop-off.
How it works
- Send photos of the garage so the written scope names what goes and roughly how much.
- Get a written scope and price, with disposal added at cost from the receipt.
- On the day, items are sorted with you, the haul pile is loaded and tied down, and the floor is swept.
- Referred out: paint, solvents, pesticides, fuel, propane tanks and batteries go to a household hazardous waste drop-off; tires are not hauled; garage wiring and gas appliances go to a licensed electrician or gas fitter.
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.
