What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Thin-barked young tree trunks wrapped in white tree wrap from the base up to the lowest branches
- Burlap screens staked on the south, southwest and windward sides of evergreens prone to winter burn
- Upright arborvitae and junipers loosely tied with soft strips so heavy snow does not split them open
How it works
- Pick out thin-barked young trees and evergreens exposed to south and west sun or wind
- Wrap trunks and set burlap screens in late fall before hard freezes, leaving the tops of screens open
- Return in spring after freezing nights pass to remove wraps and ties before they girdle stems or shelter pests
- Referred out: trees near power lines or taller than ground-level ladder reach go to a certified arborist, and pest or disease treatment goes to a licensed pesticide applicator
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first, including the spring visit to take the wraps off.
- 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.
