What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Rooflines, gutters, eaves and railings lit with plastic light clips, never nails or staples through the cord
- Every light set checked for broken or cracked sockets, frayed or bare wires and loose connections before it goes up
- Outdoor-rated cords and plug-in timers run to GFCI-protected outlets or a portable GFCI, with no new wiring or outlets added
How it works
- Walk the house with you to plan rooflines, shrubs and ground-level trees, and find the outlets that will power them
- Test each set on the ground and set aside any with damaged sockets or wires
- Set the ladder on level footing, clip the lights along gutters and eaves, and plug into GFCI-protected outlets on a timer
- Referred out: new outdoor outlets or hardwired and switched lighting circuits go to a licensed electrician, and lights high in trees or anywhere near power lines go to an arborist or lighting company
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first; the layout, number of light runs and outlets are agreed on before anyone climbs a ladder.
- 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.
