In Upper Avenues
Brick became the preferred building material in the Avenues after the late 1860s, when Salt Lake City had several brickyards, including one in the Upper Avenues area, though small adobe houses were built until the 1880s. (Avenues Historic District (amended), National Register of Historic Places Registration Form (NPGallery)) Salt Lake City's Plat D was extended to include the upper bench lands in the late 1890s, and in 1907 the city council designated the east-west streets as avenues, giving the neighborhood its name. (Avenues Historic District (amended), National Register of Historic Places Registration Form (NPGallery)) On the upper slopes of the Avenues, the below-grade garage was a common adaptation to the steep topography. (Avenues Historic District (amended), National Register of Historic Places Registration Form (NPGallery)) Salt Lake City's Wildland Urban Interface Fire Code adds extra fire safety rules for properties near undeveloped natural areas, covering building and roofing materials, how buildings are built, allowed landscaping, and the space required between buildings and wildland. (SLC Wildland Urban Interface Fire Code | Salt Lake City Council Office) A 2004 proposal to extend the Avenues Historic District north to Eleventh Avenue was made, but the boundary increase has not been pursued.

What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Carries out mattresses, box springs, foam toppers and futon pads, including king sizes and split box springs.
- Wraps a stained, damp or bug-exposed mattress in plastic before it moves through the house.
- Takes apart the bed frame and headboard when they are going too, and hauls it all with disposal billed at cost from the receipt.
How it works
- Say how many mattresses and box springs, what sizes, and which floor they are on.
- Get a written scope and price, with disposal added at cost from the receipt.
- On the day, bedding is left for you, the frame comes apart, and each piece is wrapped if needed, carried out and tied down.
- Referred out: bed bugs or mold in the bedroom itself go to a pest control or remediation company.
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first; the landfill or transfer-station fee is added at cost from the receipt, and nothing is hauled until you approve the scope.
- 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.
