What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Fixes the guest-facing problems a bad review would mention: a door that will not latch, a loose towel bar, a broken blind, a wobbly bed frame or a torn screen.
- Resets keypad and deadbolt locks, swaps smoke and CO alarm batteries or plug-in units, and tests every alarm before guests arrive.
- Patches and touches up scuffed walls and trim, rehangs fallen art and mirrors, and sends photos of each fix to the owner or manager.
How it works
- The cleaner or manager sends the list and photos, along with the guest check-in time.
- Each fix is scoped and confirmed in writing, with anything that cannot be finished before check-in flagged right away.
- Repairs are done in order of what guests will notice first, then photographed so the unit can be released.
- Referred out: plumbing leaks and clogs, electrical and wiring problems, heating, cooling and appliance service, and paint touch-ups in pre-1978 homes larger than 6 square feet per room inside or 20 square feet outside.
What happens next
