What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Installs grab bars at the tub or shower entry, inside the shower and beside the toilet, fastened into studs, blocking or anchors rated for that wall.
- Drills tile and fiberglass surrounds with the right bits and seals each fastener so water stays out of the wall.
- Adds non-slip tub strips, a clamp-on tub rail and plug-in night lights along the path from the bedroom to the bathroom.
How it works
- Photos of the bathroom walls and a note on what the visitor needs come in first.
- The job is priced in writing before work starts.
- Studs are located, bar heights are set with the family, bars are mounted and each one is pull-tested by hand.
- Referred out: moving plumbing fixtures or valves, adding a hand-held shower on the plumbing, and tub-to-shower conversions (licensed plumber or remodeler).
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first; the visit is then booked around the deadline, and photos of the finished work follow.
- 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.
