How Fixer Up works
Hiring a contractor for a big job shouldn’t be a gamble. You post it, we verify it, one local pro reaches out, here’s exactly how.
Most people find a contractor by asking around, digging through reviews on five different sites, or rolling the dice on whoever answers first. The “get free quotes” sites are worse: your number gets sold to a handful of companies who all call you at once. Fixer Up does one thing instead: you tell us what you need, we call to confirm it’s real, and one verified local pro who does that exact work gets the job. A clean path from “I need this done” to “it’s handled.”
For homeowners
1
Post your job
Pick your category (electrical, remodeling, plumbing, HVAC or roofing) then the specific job, add your contact info and you’re done. Takes about a minute, no account, completely free.
2
We verify it
We call you to confirm the details and make sure everything’s right. No bots, no auto-blasting, a real person on our end looks at every single job.
3
One pro reaches out
Your job goes to a single verified local contractor who does that kind of work, and they get in touch. One pro, not five.
Why Fixer Up is different
No shared or recycled leads. On other platforms your info gets sold to five contractors who all cold-call you. Here your job goes to one pro, exclusively. Your phone stays quiet.
Every job is verified by a human. We call to confirm each request before it goes anywhere. Homeowners get taken seriously, and contractors never pay for a dead lead.
Free for homeowners, always. Posting a job and getting matched never costs you a cent. Contractors pay for the lead, you don’t.
Common questions
Is Fixer Up free to use?
Yes — it’s 100% free for homeowners. Posting a job and getting matched with a pro never costs you anything. Contractors pay for leads; you don’t.
How are contractors verified?
We check that every contractor’s California state license (CSLB) is real, active and in good standing before they can receive a single job.
Will I get spammed with calls?
No. You’ll hear from us to confirm your job, then from one contractor. That’s it, your details are never sold or shared.
Do I need to create an account?
Nope. Just fill out the job form, what you need done and how to reach you. That’s it.
What kind of jobs can I post?
Bigger projects, panel upgrades, repipes, roof replacements, remodels, ADUs, new HVAC systems and the like. If it’s a real project rather than a quick handyman fix, it belongs here.
What areas do you cover?
We’re launching in Simi Valley and the San Fernando Valley, and adding new trades and neighborhoods as we grow.
