What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Squeaking hinges cleaned and lubricated at the pin, or swapped for new hinges when they are pinched or rusted
- Loose hinge screws replaced with longer screws that bite into the framing so the door stops sagging and rubbing
- Latches, strikes and door stops adjusted so doors close quietly and stay shut during the event
How it works
- Open and close each problem door to find the squeak, rub or rattle
- Raise the hinge pins, clean them and lubricate, or replace worn hinges one at a time so the door stays hung
- Tighten or upgrade hinge and strike screws, then adjust the latch and test every door twice
- Referred out: a door that suddenly binds along with new wall or ceiling cracks can signal framing movement and goes to a licensed contractor or engineer
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first; nothing is drilled, hung or installed until you approve it and confirm the deadline you are working against.
- 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.
Every job 24/7 Express Handyman Service takes on is under $3,000 including labor, materials and any change orders (Utah Code §58-55-305); a change that would push a job over that line is referred to a licensed contractor, not written up as a second job. plumbing, electrical, HVAC, gas appliance / combustion system work is referred to a licensed trade.
