What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Nail, screw and anchor holes filled, sanded flush and spot-primed so they disappear under touch-up paint
- TV mounts, shelves and curtain rods taken down, and the holes they leave patched and textured to match the wall
- Door stops, closet doors, cabinet pulls, towel bars and blinds reset or replaced so everything works at the walkthrough
How it works
- Walk the unit with the lease's move-out checklist and flag every hole, ding and loose fixture
- Patch and texture first so the compound has time to dry before any paint goes on
- Touch up paint, reinstall hardware and make a final pass with the checklist before the walkthrough
- Referred out: paint work in a pre-1978 home beyond 6 square feet per room inside or 20 square feet outside goes to an EPA lead-safe certified firm, and leaking faucets or outlets that do not work go to a licensed plumber or electrician
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first; patching starts as soon as you approve it, so the compound has drying time before the walkthrough.
- 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.
