- Freestanding shelving units assembled and anchored to wall studs with L-brackets or straps so they cannot tip

- Heavy items moved to low shelves, and paint, fuel and chemicals grouped on one low shelf away from heat sources
How it works
- Sort what stays and what goes with you, then measure the walls and ceiling height
- Locate studs and lay out shelves so heavy items sit low and lighter items go above
- Install and anchor shelving, hooks and racks, then load and label the bins
- Referred out: new garage outlets or lighting circuits go to a licensed electrician, and ceiling storage racks on framing of unknown capacity go to a licensed contractor to confirm the load
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first; the shelf layout and hardware list are agreed on before anything is mounted.
- 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.
