Denis was great with scheduling, answering questions, sending insurance information, and ironing out scope of work needed. Electrician Leo Nunez did a fantastic job upgrading the situation at my condo - ran a new cable through to my kitchen so my toaster over could have its own dedicated outlet. He showed me how the wires were actually burning and were a fire hazard before due to pulling so much power to the same outlet. He also hard-wired a new power strip in my office and another in my bedroom, replacing the tangled and unsightly mess of extension cords. Everything looks so much neater and organized. Leo was friendly, professional, and super punctual for both visits. read more

I used Fix it, to install a new front door at my house, they were pretty good on commitment time and was prepared to install my new door. I have another property that needed re-caulking, I was happy to see that they could not commit and gave me reference contractors to reach out to. I recommend them. read more

Outstanding experience with Fix It People! From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and efficient. Scheduling was incredibly quick (they were able to get me in the very next day), and communication from the team was clear and proactive throughout the entire process. A special shoutout to Miguel, who handled the work -- he was fantastic. He arrived right on time, was extremely professional, kept the workspace clean, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing. This wasn't a simple install -- it required mounting hardware into a brick wall with proper anchors and sealing -- and Miguel executed it perfectly. The quality of the work is excellent, and everything feels solid and secure. You can tell they take pride in doing things the right way, not just the fast way. Also appreciated how organized the whole process was -- from quote to scheduling to final invoice, it all felt very well run. Value for money, this was worth it. Highly recommend Fix It People, and if you can, ask for Miguel! Will definitely use them again. read more

Raul from Fix It People was fantastic to work with. He's a very knowledgeable handyman who clearly knows his craft. The repair was related to some shower tile damage and what I feared might be water damage behind it. I wasn't sure how serious it was, but Raul took the time to walk me through everything, explain what he was seeing, and really put my mind at ease. He explained all the details of the repair, answered every question I had, and gave great recommendations on materials that would hold up well in a shower environment. I appreciated how open he was with his knowledge and how willing he was to share advice. He arrived right on time, worked efficiently, and actually finished the job both under the estimated time and under the original quote. The shower looks fantastic now--honestly better than when I bought the house. Overall a great experience from start to finish. I would absolutely use Fix It People again and highly recommend Raul if you need a skilled, reliable handyman. read more

I found Fix It People after my local ACE Handyman went out of business. My condo association board used Fix It People for a job and I started to use them as well for my condo unit. They are licensed by the City of Chicago and have proper (legal) invoices! They've done a great job on a variety of jobs in my bathroom and kitchen, including installing a new garbage disposal. They have an automated quote/invoice system (Jobber) that makes it easy to manage projects as a landlord. They are also good at communication. read more

From quote to scheduling to work done, I highly recommend Fix It people. Big kudos to Jesus and Joe for their professionalism and craftsmanship. 5 stars. read more

Hats off the Fix It People and their teams. I needed my closets painted and was quickly scheduled with Jim who brought skill and a great attention to detail. In addition to painting there were drywall repairs and sanding needed. Needless to say - my closets, after being beaten these last 15 years, look fantastic. I'm so glad I did it and I appreciate the coordination from the Fix It People back office and most importantly, the outstanding work of Jim! read more

I have used Fix It People for various home maintenance needs over the years. They have always been responsive, professional, and easy to work with. My recent plumbing technician Dwayne Crawford was outstanding! He was on time, friendly -- and most importantly -- very knowledgeable and thorough with his repair. I feel very confident in his work and it's always a relief as a homeowner to feel you're in capable hands. All it takes is one request to access a variety of services with Fix It People. read more

I had a couple small jobs to be done around my condo and Leo from Fix It People was able to fix all of them so quickly!! I was so impressed with his quality of work and he was just so nice and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

I needed paint touch uos and plaster filling. Jesus did a phenomenal job. He was experienced, thorough and on time. The team answered all of my billing questions and responded to me in a timely manner. The material markup seems high, but the labor fee was reasonable and Jesus matched the colors perfectly. I probably could have saved a little money elsewhere but I got much higher bids from other contractors for this job and they did it quickly and did it well. read more

The tag team of Joe & Jim were the remedy I needed to do a variety of emergency repairs in my property before my sister moved in the unit. Their expertise and professionalism stood out as they both were very clear and honest about the scope of work needed for my project. Within a little over a day and a quarter, "they transformed my home from a traphouse into a respectable living environment" (my sister words, not mine). The price was extremely reasonable and I highly recommend them for any scope of work that needs to be performed with any timeframe. They kick a--! My words. read more

Repaired damage from a bathroom leak. Prompt and great to work with! Would definitely hire again.

I had a great experience with Raul, who replaced a light fixture in my closet. He was so helpful, professional, efficient, and just really nice to work with! I trust his skills and experience, and I hope that I can work with him again. read more

Fix It People were easy to work with and responsive and clear. Jesús was phenomenal and did a quality job. Would hire them again!

Ronald was great - he was professional, collaborative, and caring of our space. We are so pleased with the work he did, and the communication with the Fix It People team, that we will definitely work with them again. read more

Excellent service from the initial request to the completed service call. Professional, kind and intelligent folks. I will use them again and I highly recommend them to everyone. read more

We've used Fix It people for a few things over the years. They are great at communicating and make the process of scheduling through project completion and invoicing easy. Even when we ran into issues with the original scope of work/work done, they were quick to respond and send another technician out to finish the job. Miguel Uribe did great work and helped fix issues left by the previous technician quickly and effectively. He was very communicative and did great work. read more

This is our fifth or sixth time using Fix It People and every time has been a great experience. Alex came out to fix a mix of issues, including putting in a new lighting fixture in our bathroom, fixing a towel bar that was loose and fixing a security light in the backyard. Alex was friendly, professional and clear about what he was doing and why he needed to do what he was doing. He was excellent in every way. What separates Fix It People is that the professionalism of their technicians and the quality of the work of their work. For the services that I've used them for (e.g., electrical, painting, handyman) it was as if I was directly hiring a a specific trade (e.g., electrician, painter). The main benefit is that you get to deal with one company instead of multiple contractors, a responsive front office (no ghosting which is strangely common), transparent quotes, and you can have a professional crew out working on your project relatively quickly. Every time they send technicians that are knowledgable, professional, and thorough. They will send technicians who specialize in certain areas and are good at sending multiple technicians to help move a project along and finish within the estimated time period. We are big fans of Fix It People and look forward to continuing to work with them. read more

Raul from fix it people was great. Would highly recommend him! Very professional, friendly, and work was completed as needed.

Jesus repaired damage to our ceiling due to a leak in the upstairs neighbor's apartment. He was very friendly and professional. He taped a tarp from the ceiling to the floor to protect the surrounding areas and thoroughly cleaned up when the job was done. he also ran out to the paint store with a paint chip to match the original color. Highly recommend his work! We've used Fix-It people for a few jobs and have always been very satisfied with the process and workers. read more

I had a new chandelier installed and the base was smaller than the old one so I needed some touch up work done. Miguel did a great job patching and painting my ceiling. He made sure to get the color match perfectly & did the job quickly. Good communication and cleanup. Recommend! read more

Brent is quick to respond and communicate, the prices are reasonable, and the work that Leo did on assessing and repairing some electrical issues was quick, good quality, and he was very respectful of me and my home. We have used Fix It People for several other projects over the years and have been happy with the company every time. read more

I needed some bathroom work done - a leaking faucet, plus removal of old shower fixtures and installation of new fixtures. The team at FixIt is very quick to respond and build a quote - even knocked the price down a bit after the initial quote when I clarified what was needed. Steve, the on-site professional, showed up on time and was very efficient! He discovered an adapter piece was needed to properly install the new side-spray shower nozzles. So he zipped off to the nearest hardware store, returned with what he needed and finished the project. He even answered a few questions I had about getting a new shower door installed and temporary fixes for my current one. He was great! Shoutout to the whole FixIt team, will definitely be using them again in the future. read more

Hired to paint three large windows for my parent's house. Quote was to include sanding, priming, two coats of paint. The job was rushed, sloppy, spilled paint on the cement ledge on the *front* of their house, bumpy patch job. No sanding or primer, no clean up, one overly thick gloppy coat of paint. Do NOT recommend. UPDATE: The company reached out and offered a refund or to re-do the job. My parents chose to just get a refund. read more

Very professional and friendly! Quality work as well. On time and very responsive. I would use them again.

A very tall, heavy pocket door fell off its track, and the technician fixed it with ease. I was initially told the repair might require cutting into the drywall and installing a new track, but after carefully troubleshooting, he found a simple workaround. By removing the trim and approaching the issue from a different angle, the technician got the door working again. He explained his plan before starting and made sure I understood each step of the process. read more

OUTSTANDING A very tall, very heavy pocket door fell off its track and Raul fixed it with ease. I was warned that the repair might require cutting into drywall and new track, but once Raul took the time to troubleshoot the situation he found a simple workaround. Raul got the door in working order by taking off the trim and approaching it in a different way. Raul explained what he was going to do before he set to work and made sure I understood every step of the way. read more

This is our third time using Fix It People and every time has been a great experience. We've used other handyman services before and most of them have been fine. What separates Fix It People is that the professionalism of their technicians and the quality of the work of their work. For the services that I've used them for (e.g., electrical, painting, handyman) it was as if I was directly hiring a a specific trade (e.g., electrician, painter). The main benefit is that you get to deal with one company instead of multiple contractors, a responsive front office (no ghosting which is strangely common), transparent quotes, and you can have a professional crew out working on your project relatively quickly. Sometimes it's hard to know what scope of work a handyman service can do, but Fix It People have technicians that can do just about everything. From the last 3 times we've use Fix It People to repairs ceilings from water damage, touchup paint jobs, repair cracks in drywall as well as install numerous items such as exhaust fans, pendant lighting, gfci outlets, light switches, smart thermostats, outdoor security cameras, ceiling fans, and chandeliers hung (one on a 14ft ceiling). Every time they send technicians that are knowledgable, professional, and thorough. They will send technicians who specialize in certain areas and are good at sending multiple technicians to help move a project along and finish within the estimated time period. The quoting process started with a virtual consult with Tom who was quick, efficient, and thorough. The most recent technician we had were Raul and Leo, who were amazing. They were incredibly professional, respectful of our home, great on communication their progress, and most importantly performed quality work. Just a few tips based on my experience with Fix It People: 1. The estimate will only be as good as you description of the scope of work. So be organized in exactly what work you want done, what materials you have, what materials you need for them to get, and what exactly you need for them to do. So if you need new lights installed. There's a difference in the quote for removing existing lights first versus only installing new lights onto a blank receptacle. Just be a through as possible during the estimate and when the crew comes for the first day, be through as possible in walking through everything that needs to be done, before they start working. 2. Know that the estimate is an estimate and the completion ETA is an ETA. The first time I used them, they did contact me to let me know that the scope of the work is bigger than what was originally expected. This was with me doing the above tip. It's home improvement work, and sometimes when repairing a wall or remove an old fixture, there is more work than what anyone could have known beforehand. So prepare for the possibility of adjustments to the estimate. The last two times the estimates came right on target and they completed a day before the estimated completion date. But just know that it happens. From my experience, they immediately communicated the additional cost and updated the ETA. They explained to me what was different from the original estimate and apologized. It felt like they tried there best to provide the most accurate estimate, but again with home improvement, unexpected things happen. In the last project, I removed an item based on a recommendation from the technician and the front office quickly adjusted my estimate downward. So it does go both ways. 3. The technicians always ask you to check their work to make sure it's good. Take them up on it. It's ok to let them know that they missed a spot or remind them that there is another item on the estimate. In all of my experience with the various technicians they are receptive and will correct any missed items. 4. They are not the cheapest option. But many times, you get what you pay for. It's always good to have a contractor company available who you trust to get work done, and for me it's Fix It People. read more

I had to get paint repair and received amazing support from Miguel! So helpful and thorough! Above and beyond mentality. I recommend him at Fix It people. 5 stars read more

We used Fix It People for several projects, including refresh work on the back deck, a rehabbing of a breakfast nook (removing benches to open the space), and the construction of an interior doorway. I am not surprised to see Raul mentioned positively in other reviews. He did the work for two of these three projects, and delivered exactly what we were looking for with high professionalism, efficiency and quality. We had some issues with the first project (not delivered by Raul), because outdoor work was interrupted by weather and so ran short on time, Fix It People scheduled a return visit to complete everything directly without additional charge. The indoor projects done by Raul were delivered on time, to spec, and without any budget surprises. read more

I got a quote for handyman services from this company, and it was so obscenely high I can hardly believe it's a legitimate business. My next highest quote was half the price, and the one I went with was less than a third of the price. And he was very professional and did a great job. I can't imagine what Fix It People could do better for so much more money. How many ways are there to sand down a sticking door? Additionally, once you get a quote from them you receive unsolicited calls from what seems like a call center (?) pressuring you to accept the quote. To their credit they took me off the list once I asked. They only give quotes after doing a video call, which felt shady to me as well. Every other company I got a quote from came out in person. Why can't Fix it People? If they're going to charge so much, they should come in person to get a proper sense of the job. It looks like from reviews some people get reasonable quotes, so I must ask--how do they choose who to try to rip off? Some people in my family suggested it's because I'm young, female, and a new homeowner. I certainly hope that isn't the case. read more

We are very happy with the work done for us by Raul and Jesus. They worked quickly and produced just the results we wanted. They explained how they were approaching the work and why, and they gave us some tips. Both were very congenial and cordial. Jesus was kind enough to let me practice my rusty Spanish. We would gladly have them do work for us in the future. read more

Raul is great, he did some work last yr on a cabinet. We had some questions and he personally came out and answered all our questions. Great company and great service. Highly recommend!!! read more

We requested service for some plastering of unfinished work on the basement ceiling, and window sills. Roberto Maya worked on this project for three days. He was very professional, listened to are concerns and the job was completed be on are wildest dream. The plastering was done correctly and on top of that he was able to find the matching paints to paint over to match the color of the rooms walls. We had been looking for the paint he found for several years, and could never make the match. The whole company was excellent in delivering the services we needed from the zoom meeting, calling to set up Roberto's working schedule to finishing the project. read more

I had an excellent experience with them. I put in a request to have my bathroom faucet replaced, and received a quote back from them within hours. I eventually scheduled with them (with a brief delay solely due to scheduling issues on my end), and Raul came out at the appointed time and got the job done within 15 minutes. This was a simple project, but I plan to use this company again in the future. read more

I've used Fix It People since 2018, and recently I had them come repair some damage and repaint a few walls in my investment property in the South Loop. Raziel did a great job and was very polite. I'll be sure to use this company again for any future home improvement projects. read more

Helpful service and good customer support when I called in with questions on scheduling.

I have used the fix it people several time for small jobs now. I love that they are responsive with a quick estimate and can schedule a project with little lead time. We had Miguel paint the ceiling and trim in our daughters nursery and he did a great job! The painting was efficient and the attention to detail was great! Would specifically request Miguel for future painting projects! read more

We are repeat customers and have yet to be disappointed by Fix It People. Roberto was assigned our project to repair and repaint ceiling drywall and reattach a stair railing. Roberto was fantastic -- friendly, respectful and very professional - he communicated with us step by step thru the entire project. I wanted to make a special point of mentioning how above and beyond Roberto went reattaching the stair railing. He had to add additional mounts, patch and repaint the area to ensure the railing was rock solid. This extra time wasn't anticipated but he gladly took the time to ensure the railing was safe and properly secured to the wall. The entire Fix It People team are just great to work with! We appreciate them all very much!! read more
