Quick answers

What counts as a punch list?

A punch list is a written set of small, unfinished or broken items, often from a home inspection, a sale or the end of a project. Typical items are drywall dings, sticking doors, loose handrails, missing trim, caulk gaps and touch-up paint.

Can a handyman handle an inspection repair list?

Often, for the small carpentry, drywall, paint and hardware items. Items involving plumbing, electrical, HVAC, gas or roofing belong to licensed trades, so the list is split before pricing and those items are flagged rather than skipped.

Why does house age matter for paint touch-ups?

Older paint may contain lead. The EPA says about three-quarters of US homes built before 1978 still contain some lead-based paint, and sanding or scraping it can create dangerous dust. Test or ask about lead-safe practices before disturbing old paint.

What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site

Works through a written list of small fixes in one visit: drywall patches, sticking doors, loose trim, caulk, hardware and touch-up paint.
Groups tasks by room and material so each trip, tool setup and paint color is used once.
Checks items off with photos so the homeowner, buyer or agent can see what was finished.

How it works

The homeowner sends the list, an inspection report or photos.
Each item is priced in writing, and anything outside handyman scope is flagged.
The work is done room by room and each item is photographed when finished.
Referred out: plumbing, electrical, HVAC, gas and roofing items on the list go to licensed trades.

When to stop and call

If a list item turns out to be a leak, a burning smell or a sparking outlet, stop and call. 24/7 Express Handyman Service can make the area safe and point the job to the right licensed trade.

What happens next

The written scope and price come first; the finished list comes back with a photo for every item.
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.
