Incorporated in 1980, West Valley City grew rapidly through the late 20th century as Salt Lake County expanded westward along the Bangerter Highway corridor. The result is a dense, diverse urban community — Utah's only true second city — with a housing stock dominated by ranch-style homes, split-levels, and duplex rentals built between the 1960s and 1990s. Today, the city is home to one of Utah's most vibrant Latino communities, alongside long-established working families and a growing number of investment property owners.
That combination of older housing and active rental activity creates a steady demand for skilled handyman work. Decks and patios from the 1970s and 80s are showing their age; original bathroom tile and fixtures are due for an update; and landlords managing single-family rentals across the Granger and Chesterfield neighborhoods need a reliable partner who can turn units quickly and keep properties in top condition. MK HomePro has completed 88+ jobs across the Salt Lake Valley, and West Valley City is one of our most active service areas.
Common Projects We Handle in West Valley City
Deck Builds and Repairs on Aging Structures
Many West Valley City decks were built in the 1970s and 80s with pressure-treated lumber that has long since reached the end of its lifespan. Rotting boards, unstable ledger connections, and deteriorating posts are common problems we find on first visits. We replace failing decks from the ground up or perform targeted repairs — sistering joists, replacing decking boards, and rebuilding railings to current safety standards. For homes without existing outdoor structures, we also design and build new decks suited to the lot sizes common in this part of the valley.
Bathroom Updates in Older Homes
Original 1970s and 80s bathrooms — avocado tile, cramped vanities, and low-flow fixtures that predate modern water-efficiency standards — are ripe for renovation. We handle full bathroom remodels as well as targeted updates: vanity replacements, new tile surrounds, shower conversions, and fixture swaps. Even a mid-range bathroom update meaningfully improves a home's appeal and daily livability, and in a rental property it can reduce maintenance calls substantially.
General Repairs and Property Maintenance
For landlords and homeowners alike, small problems that go unaddressed become expensive ones. We provide general repair services — door adjustments, drywall patches, trim work, caulking and weatherproofing, fixture replacements, and more — on a project or recurring basis. Property maintenance packages are available for owners who want a single point of contact to keep their West Valley City rentals in rent-ready condition year-round.
