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

  1. The cleaner or manager sends the list and photos, along with the guest check-in time.
  2. Each fix is scoped and confirmed in writing, with anything that cannot be finished before check-in flagged right away.
  3. Repairs are done in order of what guests will notice first, then photographed so the unit can be released.
  4. 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

  • The written scope comes first, confirmed against the check-in time; photos of each finished item go to the owner or manager so the unit can be released to guests.
  • 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.
