Home Maintenance and Repair
It’s surprising how quickly a home can collect small problems. A loose doorknob, those scuff marks on the wall from moving furniture, a flat-pack bookcase leaning in the garage. These are little things that gradually pile up and create background stress. Even with the best intentions, it’s easy to move maintenance tasks to next weekend’s list. In reality, they’ll wait until you’re ready, but eventually, wobbly shelves or a dirty air filter can affect your whole house. For many homeowners, ongoing home maintenance and repair can feel like the job that never ends.
At FixHome+, we believe it should be easier to care for your home. Our team makes it simple to keep your property in top condition. Whether you’re patching drywall, arranging furniture assembly, or chasing a replacement heater filter, we handle the maintenance so you can focus on what matters more. Our home maintenance and repair services cover a wide range of common projects and repairs.
Our Home Maintenance and Repair Services
We offer home maintenance services designed for real life. These are the everyday household repairs and improvements that help your space work better and look better. Our handymen know the right manuals, tools, and know-how for each job, addressing everything from lingering to-dos to quick fixes.
Take a look at some of our most-requested services:
Caulking and Grouting
Cracked grout or old caulking can lead to bigger water issues. We refresh caulk in bathrooms and kitchens to prevent mold and make surfaces look new, including recaulking tile and bathroom tile sealing.
Patching and Paint Touch-ups
For holes or scuffs, patch a wall and restore your home’s finish with careful paint touch-ups.
Furniture Assembly
Don’t fight the instruction manuals. We will put together your furniture for you, so you may utilize it instead of storing it.
Hanging Mirrors, Shelves, and Artwork
A mirror or solid shelf in the right spot may make a room look great, but it can be hard to hang them up safely. Our team makes sure that your changes stay in place.
Door and Doorknob Adjustment
Fixing squeaky hinges, doors that stick, or locks that need to be replaced are all simple adjustments that make life easier.
Closet Adjustments
We make the most of your space and keep things neat by adding an extra shelf or a simple closet rod.
Animal Holes Fixing
House repairs sometimes mean dealing with pests. We fill up holes in drywall or siding that animals make to make your home safer.
Air Filter Replacement
Changing the air filter is an important part of taking care of your HVAC system. It's something that many people forget to do, but it's important for keeping the vents clean and the air healthy.
Water Filter Replacement
To keep the quality of your drinking water high, you can replace the filters in your refrigerator, under-sink system, or even your entire house water filtration system.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Cleaning the dryer vent is important for safety since it gets rid of lint and accumulation. We can clean the pipes in your dryer vent and make it last longer.
TV Mounting and Installation
Contact our TV mount installers for help hanging your screen neatly and out of harm’s way, with wires hidden.
Door Lock Installation
Add a layer of security and update entryways with new locks or smart lock replacements..
Caulking in a Bathroom
Applies or renews caulk around bathroom fixtures to prevent leaks and maintain hygiene.
Smoke or Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detector Checks or Replacement
Regular smoke detector and CO detector checks matter for safety. We test, replace batteries, or handle unit replacement as needed.
Bathroom Fan Installation or Replacement
A working bathroom fan helps control humidity and prevent mold.
Installing Curtain Rods
We’ll make sure curtain rods are measured and mounted securely so they can support your curtains and look tidy in any room.
Curtains Hanging
Our team will professionally hang your curtains, making sure each panel is even, arranged for proper coverage, and suited to your room’s style, whether you have new rods or existing ones already installed.
Advice and Coordination for Larger Jobs
Some maintenance tasks become bigger projects. If so, we’ll give advice or help you find contractors who meet your expectations. We'd rather be honest about what's needed than take on work we can't do right.
