Quick answers
Is insulating pipes the same as plumbing work?
No. Fitting insulation sleeves and faucet covers does not touch the plumbing system; any change to the pipes themselves goes to a licensed plumber.
Should snow be raked off every roof?
No. Snow is raked off when it is heavy, drifting or feeding ice dams at the eaves; raking is done from the ground or a ladder, never by walking the roof in winter.
Winter and freeze prep: every job and zone
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.
