What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Carries one bulky item, such as a couch, recliner, dresser, treadmill or old grill, out of the house on furniture pads and a dolly.
- Takes off legs, doors or loose shelves when that is what it takes to clear a doorway or stair turn without gouging walls.
- Drives the item to the landfill or transfer station, with the disposal fee billed at cost from the receipt.
How it works
- Send a photo of the item and where it sits, noting stairs, tight turns and anything that has to come apart.
- Get a written scope and price before the visit, with disposal added at cost from the receipt.
- On the day, floors and door frames along the path are padded, the item is carried out and tied down, and the spot is swept.
- Referred out: pianos, safes and hot tubs go to specialty movers; paint, solvents, batteries and propane tanks go to a household hazardous waste drop-off; tires are not hauled.
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first; the landfill or transfer-station fee is added at cost from the receipt, and nothing is hauled until you approve the scope.
