I built this during my second full house remodel.
Most home repairs don't need a pro. They need a plan.
That $400 visit is usually a 45-minute fix. You Fixed It asks the questions a contractor would ask, then writes the plan for your exact repair.
Bathroom Outlet Not Working Repair

"Perfect for my needs"
Talk about a great use of AI! Like many others, I have been leveraging ChatGPT and the others to help me with my home repair projects. This makes it so simple. Puts everything in one spot and even lets me save my projects. LOVE IT. I would give it a 6/5 if I could!
"Youfixedit Fixed my Toilet"
Youfixedit nailed the repair of my toilet that did not have the bowl filling properly. I gave me a great set of potential issues that I simply walked through and I found the problem. It took less than 10 minutes to identify the issue with the steps laid out. Great app!
"Helped with a DIY HVAC project"
I needed help with a DIY project, running a new air duct through my basement to a first floor register that was moved during a kitchen remodel. This service accurately outlined the steps of project and created a list of the materials and tools I would need to complete it with links to purchase. I ended up purchasing the materials at my local Home Depot, however, it was helpful to know what the rough cost of the project was going to be ahead of time. Further, I was able to get all of the materials in single trip.
"Makes the job easier!"
It was easy to describe the problem to get to the right solution quickly. The instructions and safety recommendations are also very clear. I like the check lists for materials -- it saves a lot time going back and forth for tools or to the hardware store.

Why I built this
Doing it yourself and hearing "you fixed it" never gets old.
I'm Colin. I've built 26 art studios, fully remodeled two houses, and logged thousands of hours of electrical work.
Getting stuck mid-project sucks. Especially when you're not sure if you bought the right part, or if what you're about to do is actually safe.
I built You Fixed It so you never have to guess. You get professional repair plans with exact materials, safety warnings, and code requirement advice, whether you're replacing an outlet or remodeling your entire kitchen.
