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

  1. Walk the unit with the lease's move-out checklist and flag every hole, ding and loose fixture
  2. Patch and texture first so the compound has time to dry before any paint goes on
  3. Touch up paint, reinstall hardware and make a final pass with the checklist before the walkthrough
  4. 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.
