What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site

How it works

  1. Agree which areas get cleared and whether the leaves are hauled, bagged or mulched into beds
  2. Rake or blow the lawn first, then beds, walks and window wells, before the leaves mat down under snow
  3. Bag or haul the leaves and sweep driveways and gutters at the curb so nothing washes toward the storm drain
  4. Referred out: leaf-packed roof gutters above ground-level ladder reach go to a gutter or roofing contractor, and snow mold or lawn disease treatment goes to a licensed pesticide applicator
