Welcome to FixRant
Because every great repair story starts with a little frustration and ends with, “Okay, not bad!”
FixRant is a spirited home improvement destination designed for DIYers of every skill level—whether you're confidently handling a full tool belt or just learning the difference between a flathead and a Phillips. We’re here for the homeowners, renters, DIY warriors, and “I guess I’ll try it myself” folks who want real fixes, smart tools, and zero judgment if something breaks (again).
We’re not just about screws and sandpaper—we’re about you. Your win when the leaky faucet finally stops dripping. Your near-meltdown over uneven shelves. Your “I did it!” moment when the light switches actually work.
FixRant brings repair guidance with a side of personality. No boring lectures. No condescending pros. Just reliable how-tos, clever tips, and relatable repair stories from people who’ve lived the mess, fixed the mess, and probably laughed (or ranted) about it afterward.
Style It. Solve It. Talk About It.
To help you feel more confident in your home by providing approachable, reliable, and engaging home repair guidance. Just real solutions, smart tools, and supportive stories.
Why FixRant Exists
FixRant was born from a familiar feeling: staring at a broken cabinet hinge, Googling solutions, and thinking, “Why does this feel way harder than it should?”
We noticed something missing in the DIY world—a space that gives you expert-backed help and makes you feel better, not worse, when things don’t go perfectly.
So we built FixRant to be that rare mix of helpful, hilarious, and actually doable. We don’t expect you to know everything. We’re here so you don’t have to.
What We Cover (And Why You’ll Love It)
🧰 Quick Fixes
The fast, the feasible, the “I can do this before dinner” stuff. Think drawer tracks that won’t glide, tiles that need regrouting, and that mysterious hum in your bathroom light.
We break it down, keep it simple, and tell you exactly what you need (and what you definitely don’t).
🔧 Tool Mastery
Let’s be honest—some tools are terrifying. Others? Game-changers. We teach you how to handle your gear like a pro, whether you’re learning to use a power drill for the first time or figuring out which wrench isn’t just called “the twisty one.”
Expect real guides, smart upgrades, and no shame if you’ve used a butter knife as a screwdriver. We’ve all been there.
🛠 Repair Stories
Because fixing things isn’t just about the result—it’s about the journey (and sometimes the ridiculous mistakes). These are real stories from our team and community, full of lessons, laughs, and a healthy amount of “Well… that escalated.”
Sometimes you learn more from the fix that didn’t go perfectly. And we’re not afraid to tell those stories, too.
