What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Rekeys or replaces entry locksets and deadbolts so old keys no longer work on the first night.
- Mounts TVs, anchors dressers and bookcases to the wall, and assembles beds, cribs and flat-pack furniture.
- Hangs curtain rods, blinds, mirrors and art, installs battery or plug-in smoke and CO alarms, and adds childproofing hardware.
How it works
- Share the move-in date, the list, and photos of the walls where things will hang.
- The list is scoped and confirmed in writing, with locks, beds and anchoring done first.
- Mounting, assembly and hanging follow room by room, and every lock and alarm is tested before leaving.
- Referred out: new outlets, hardwired fixtures, plumbing and gas appliance hookups, and paint touch-ups in pre-1978 homes larger than 6 square feet per room inside or 20 square feet outside.
What happens next
- The written scope comes first, confirmed against the move-in date; locks and safety items go first so the home is secure the first night.
- 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.
