DIY Home Coaching
YOU CAN
DO
THIS.
REALLY.
You don’t need to hire a contractor for everything. You just need the right guidance at the right moment. That’s what we’re here for — from a quick FaceTime to a full project walkthrough, side by side.
“Helping homeowners help themselves is our goal. We will save you time and money.”
Most home projects aren't as hard as they look.
What makes them hard is not knowing where to start, not having someone to call when you’re stuck, and not being sure you’re doing it right. We solve all three.
A plumber charges $150 just to show up. A contractor adds 30% overhead before they lift a finger. And for a lot of home projects — a leaky faucet, a door that won’t close, a deck that needs staining, a bathroom refresh — you don’t need any of that. You just need someone who actually knows what they’re doing to walk you through it.
That’s UFix. Over 30 years of hands-on construction, renovation, and landscaping experience — available to you by the hour, by the project, or right beside you while you work.
“Helping homeowners help themselves is our goal. We will save you time and money.”
Think of what you spend with us as an investment, not a cost. A one-hour call at $100 that saves you a $1,200 contractor visit pays for itself twelve times over. A project consultation that gets you the right materials list before you start means no wasted hardware store runs, no buying the wrong thing twice, no costly mid-project surprises.
We work with everyone — from experienced homeowners tackling a major renovation to first-time homeowners who just got their keys and need someone they can call when something breaks, leaks, or just doesn’t look right. You don’t have to know anything going in. That’s exactly what we’re here for.
The philosophy is simple: most people are more capable than they think. And once you learn how to do something — hands-on, for real — you own that skill for life. You’ll never pay someone else to do it again.

30+ YEARS OF REAL EXPERIENCE
Kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, basements. Full gut renovations to simple refreshes. If it’s inside your house, we know how it works.
Trim, molding, built-ins, doors, windows, stairs. The details that make a house feel finished — and how to do them right the first time.
From full remodels to fixing what’s broken. Tile, fixtures, vanities, countertops — the rooms where most homeowners feel most out of their depth.
Grading, planting, hardscaping, patios, walkways, drainage. The outside of your home matters — and it’s more manageable than most people think.
Decks, pergolas, sheds, fences, retaining walls. Outdoor living spaces built to last — and how to build them yourself with the right guidance.
The stuff that breaks, leaks, sticks, squeaks, or just stops working. Before you call a contractor, call us — chances are you can handle it yourself.
HOW IT WORKS
Simple. Honest. No surprises. Here’s what happens when you reach out.
Tell us what’s going on — a quick description of the project or problem. No forms, no long intake. Just a message or a call.
We get on a quick call — free, always. We figure out what you actually need and which tier makes the most sense for your situation.
We start. Whether that’s a remote troubleshooting session, a project plan, an on-site visit, or a full training day — we move fast and get practical immediately.
The project gets done. More importantly, you know how it was done — and you can do it again yourself next time. That’s the whole point.
“I’ve been building and fixing things my whole life. Now I help other people do the same.”
NOT A
CONTRACTOR.
BETTER THAN THAT.
I’ve spent over 30 years doing hands-on construction, renovation, and landscaping work across New England. Kitchens, bathrooms, decks, basements, landscapes — I’ve built them, fixed them, torn them apart and put them back together.
What I’ve learned is that most homeowners — especially first-timers — can do way more than they think. They just need someone to show them how, and to be honest about what’s actually involved before they start. The money you spend getting the right guidance upfront will save you far more on the back end.
That’s what UFix is. Not a contractor. Not a handyman service. A coaching resource. I help you plan it, start it, get through the hard parts, and finish it yourself — with a skill you’ll keep for life and never have to pay someone else for again.
No upselling. No making simple things sound complicated. Just honest guidance from someone who’s done it all, and genuinely wants you to be able to do it too.
Working on more than just your house?
UFix is part of a bigger idea — that most people are more capable than they think, in every part of their lives. If you’re working on the inside as much as the outside, there’s something else we built for that.
Life and relationship coaching for people who are ready to stop reacting from old patterns and start choosing who they want to be — in their relationships, their work, and the world.
FIRST
CALL IS
FREE.
Tell us what you’re working on. We’ll figure out together what kind of help makes the most sense — no pressure, no pitch. If we can help, we’ll tell you how. If you don’t need us, we’ll tell you that too.
Most people walk away from the first call with at least one useful thing they can do right now. That’s always worth 20 minutes.
