In Bonneville Hills

Bonneville Hills is a predominantly single-family residential neighborhood closest to Foothill Village, a semi-regional shopping center, and its streetscapes resemble older East Bench neighborhoods, with uniform home setbacks and extensive street trees. (Bonneville Hills Neighborhood | Council District 6 (Salt Lake City)) The Bonneville Hills neighborhood consists of predominantly single-family homes built during the middle of the 20th century. (East Bench Master Plan (Salt Lake City Planning Division, 2017)) The Salt Lake City segment of the Wasatch fault generates large earthquakes of about magnitude 7 on average every 1,350 years, and the most recent was about 1,300 years ago. (Maps Show Potential Geologic Effects of a Magnitude 7 Earthquake | Utah Geological Survey) A brick building with rows of bricks turned endways every five to six rows may be unreinforced masonry, a pattern once used to add strength before steel reinforcing was required. (Unreinforced Masonry | Earthquakes (Utah Division of Emergency Management)) Utah updated its building codes in the 1970s to outlaw construction of new unreinforced masonry buildings, so URM buildings are typically older structures.

What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site

  • Loose handrails, wobbly balusters, lifted threshold strips and rocking stair treads tightened before visitors walk them
  • Sticking doors, loose knobs, cabinet doors that swing open and drawers that jam adjusted so everything opens cleanly on a tour
  • Last-minute wall patching, touch-up paint and hardware swaps finished and cleaned up in the same visit

How it works

  1. Start with anything a visitor could trip on or grab: stairs, rails, thresholds and loose steps
  2. Fix the doors, drawers and hardware buyers will open
  3. Patch and touch up what shows, then clean up so the house is ready for the agent
  4. Referred out: dripping faucets or running toilets that need parts inside the plumbing system go to a licensed plumber, and lights or outlets that do not work go to a licensed electrician

What happens next

  • The written scope and price come first; safety items like rails and thresholds go at the top of the list so they are done even if time runs short.
  • 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.
