Sifixit is a free referral service. Three simple steps connect you with a local provider, and calling costs you nothing.
Use the search box at the top of the page to find the right number for your job. It takes a few seconds and needs no personal details.
Your call may be answered by a call specialist who asks what is wrong, where you are and how soon you need help, or it may go straight to a local provider.
You speak with an independent local business about the job, their price and their timing. You decide whether to hire them, and you pay them directly.
Sifixit connects you with independent local businesses. We do not employ, license or vet them, so these quick checks are worth a few minutes of your time.
Look up the business name or license number on your state contractor licensing board website. It is free and takes about a minute.
General liability insurance protects your home if something goes wrong. Ask to see the certificate, not just a yes on the phone.
A good quote lists labor, materials, permits and a start date. Vague quotes are where surprise bills come from.
Some states limit how much a contractor can ask for upfront. Avoid paying most of the price before any work has started.
Roofs, electrical panels and remodels often need a city permit. Ask who pulls it and whether its cost is in the quote.
Check the business on independent review sites and read the newest reviews, not only the star average.
Use these when you speak with a provider. Good answers are clear and specific. Vague answers are a warning sign.

Straight answers about how Sifixit works and what to expect when you call. Still unsure about something? Call and ask.
CallYour call may be answered by a call specialist who asks a few quick questions, or it may be connected straight to a local home service provider. Either way, calling is free.
Yes. Calling and being connected costs you nothing. If you decide to hire a provider, you pay that provider directly for their work.
No. Sifixit is a referral service. The work is done by independent local businesses, who are responsible for their own work, pricing, licensing and insurance.
It depends on your policy and the cause of the damage. Call your insurer early, take photos, and ask the provider whether they can document the damage for your claim.
Sifixit connects callers in many parts of the US. Availability depends on your ZIP code and the service you need, so the quickest way to check is to call.
That depends on the provider and your area. Many handle urgent jobs the same day. Ask about timing when you are connected.
Any warranty comes from the provider you hire and from the maker of any parts, not from Sifixit. Ask what warranty they give and get it in writing.
Raise it with the provider first, in writing. If that does not solve it, contact your state contractor licensing board or your state consumer protection office.
Pick your service to see the number to call. Calling is free, there are no forms to fill in, and you are never obliged to hire anyone.
Your call may be answered by a call specialist or connected straight to a local provider. Sifixit does not perform any work itself.
Sifixit is a free referral service for homeowners across the United States. Instead of searching through dozens of listings, you pick the job, call one number and get connected with a local home service provider who handles that kind of work.
A burst pipe, a kitchen fire or mold after a leak can damage a home quickly, and the first hours matter. Water damage restoration, fire damage restoration, mold removal and biohazard cleanup each have their own number on Sifixit, so your call reaches a provider who handles that kind of job.
Whether you need a roofer after a hailstorm, a plumber for a leaking water heater or an electrician for a panel upgrade, the first step is the same. Pick your service, call the number and explain the job.
Ask every provider for a written quote that lists labor, materials and any permit costs. Agree any change in writing before extra work starts, and pay the final balance only when the job is finished.
Sifixit is an independent referral service. We do not perform home services, and we do not employ, license or vet the providers you are connected with. Providers are independent businesses responsible for their own work, pricing, licensing and insurance.
Search by service and ZIP code, or just call. Getting connected is free and you are never obliged to hire.
