FAQs
About Fixr.com
  • How long has Fixr.com been offering its services?

Fixr.com was founded in 2008 when we realized the numerous doubts about all types of remodeling, building, and repair projects. That is why we concentrated our efforts into creating comprehensive resources that answer every question homeowners and potential home buyers may have. Moreover, we have also been improving our contractor network to put our users in contact with the best professionals in their area, knowing that they are headed in the right direction when they decide to take the next step forward.

  • How does Fixr.com work?

Fixr.com has more than 600+ Cost Guides and articles that assign ballpark figures to home remodeling projects and aim to provide all the necessary information for each remodeling project. In addition, Fixr.com can match homeowners and potential home buyers with contractors and service providers in their city for any home-related project they might need. They simply need to answer a series of questions so that we understand their needs and requirements. The contractors then contact our users via phone or email, offering competitive free quotes. Then, our users can compare the estimates and hire the contractor who best fits their needs.

  • Who writes Fixr.com Cost Guides?

Fixr.com employs a team of specialized writers and cost researchers who are subjected to a rigorous selection process. They prove their experience in the home remodeling industry and their research and writing skills. These writers and researchers work closely with the content management team at Fixr.com, who also have experience in the home remodeling industry. Once the guides are written, their credibility and comprehensiveness are strengthened by the reviews and feedback of our industry experts, who ensure that our content is accurate, up-to-date, instructive, and backed by current research. In addition, our content management team also works closely with the Fixr.com network of 90,000+ local contractors, who provide a unique source of information for our cost guides. For more information about our editorial process, please visit our methodology and sources page.

  • How can Fixr.com match me with the right service professional?

To find the best service professionals for our users, we ask you to submit a description of your service needs by answering a series of questions. Some are multiple choice for convenience, whereas others require you to write your answer. You can access these questions by clicking the "Get Local Cost" button or any other similar buttons appearing on our website. Once the form is completed, Fixr.com matches the specific needs of our users with the predefined skills and geography parameters of our professionals. We choose those who will best serve the needs of each submitted project request.

  • How does Fixr.com earn income?

Our users are not charged for our services. Fixr.com matches the request from our users to service professionals, and the latter pays a fee for each lead they receive. These fees do not affect their estimate in any way.

Pay close attention to quotes and contracts. It is your responsibility as a customer to get quotes, and all prices should be clearly stated on contracts.

To see average costs for any remodeling, building, or repair project, look at our cost guides.
