Fixstarter

    Safe homes shouldn't be a luxury

    Fixstarter connects people facing a home repair they can't afford to donors who fund the fix. Own or rent — every dollar goes straight to a vetted contractor, and you pay $0.

    How Fixstarter Works

    No cash changes hands. No loans, no repayment. Just verified repairs funded by people who care.

    Step 01

    Submit Your Repair Need

    Tell us what's broken — plumbing, mold, heat, electrical. Add photos, and your request goes live the same day. It takes about 5 minutes.

    Step 02

    Contractors Quote, You Choose

    Licensed contractors near you bid with their price and timeline. You pick the one you want — we verify them, and your documents, before anything is agreed.

    Step 03

    Donors Fund the Repair

    The quote you accepted becomes your funding goal. Donors give directly, the money is held in escrow, and you pay nothing.

    Step 04

    The Work Gets Done

    Your contractor schedules the job and completes it. You both upload proof, you approve, and only then are the funds released.
