"Where's that going?"

Frank usually says this after building something extra solid. A shelf, a handrail, a repair...if it feels like it'll outlast the house, he'll grin and ask, "Where's that going?"

His point is simple: build it once, build it right.

That's how we've approached every job for over four decades. We don't believe in shortcuts. We believe in repairs that last.

There’s nothing better than getting a great Google review from a happy customer.

At Fixed by Frank, we don’t just want to get the job done. We want to exceed expectations and leave every customer feeling like they made the right call.

So when a customer takes the time to tell us that we exceeded their expectations, it honestly makes our day. Those reviews mean a lot to us and help other homeowners know they can trust us with their projects.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave us a review. We appreciate your business and your support!

If we’ve completed a project for you, we’d love to hear about your experience.

Another job where a simple request turned into a little more problem-solving!

This customer needed five doors trimmed after having new carpet installed. The old hollow-core doors had started splintering and delaminating on the bottoms as the carpet grabbed the veneer. After trimming about 5/8" off each door, most of the damage disappeared. A few spots needed some glue and repair, but once everything was finished, all five doors went back in looking great and operating perfectly.

She also wanted to replace her dining room light with a 45-pound chandelier. The existing fixture was mounted to a plastic box, which wasn't rated for that kind of weight. Thankfully, the box was attached to a stud, so I was able to install a properly rated metal box and safely mount the new chandelier.

The customer was extremely happy with the results and even left Fixed by Frank a 5-star review!

Sometimes it’s the little upgrades that make a big difference.

This customer wanted a dedicated receptacle installed behind a future TV in his basement game room. We tapped into an existing receptacle, fished the wiring through the wall, cut in an old work box, and installed the new receptacle.

A simple installation that means no extension cords or exposed wires when the new TV goes up.

Project Complete: Ceiling Repair & New Ceiling Fan

Last time, we showed you this project while it was still in progress. Today, we put on the final coat of mud, sanded everything smooth, and then added the swirl finish to blend the repaired areas into the existing ceiling.

Once the finish dried, we primed the ceiling and installed the new paddle fan. The owner will take care of painting the ceiling its final color.

Another repair completed from start to finish, with the details taken care of along the way.

Have to give Victor some credit on this one. After the driveway was sealed, the faded and rusty 6’ x 6’ steel plate over the well really stood out. Victor noticed it himself and decided he wanted to take care of it.

After work, and even with the heat we’ve been having, he handled the entire project on his own — sanded the steel, cleaned it with mineral spirits, cut everything in with a brush, and rolled on two coats of Rust-Oleum Hunter Green. And of course, being Victor, he meticulously taped the entire perimeter so there was absolutely no chance of getting green paint on my freshly sealed driveway. I’m pretty sure he spent almost as much time making that painter’s tape perfect as he did painting the plate! 😂

What I’m most proud of is that he saw something that needed done, took the initiative, and handled it from start to finish without any help from me. It turned out really well, and I have to give credit where credit is due. Like father, like son — when it comes to being meticulous, I think he gets that from me! 😂👍

This project is still underway, but we wanted to give you a look at what’s happening behind the scenes.

We had to remove a damaged section of ceiling and open it up to properly repair the area. While we were in there, we also replaced the existing ceiling fan box with a heavy-duty fan-rated box that meets current code requirements, using the original wiring.

The first coats of mud are now on, and we’re working on feathering the repair out several feet so it will blend properly with the surrounding ceiling. Once everything is finished, we’ll be applying a brush finish to complete the look.

And yes, there will be a new paddle fan going in the center of the room!

This is Part 1. Stay tuned for the finished results in Part 2.

The Drip Is Finally Gone

Sometimes a job sounds pretty simple on paper. Move the old bathtub faucet, repair and reinstall the leaky faucet and diverter valve, put all the handles back on, and call it done.

What sounds like a quick fix ended up being about five hours of work to get everything right.

But the best part wasn’t finishing the job. It was seeing how happy the customer was knowing he wouldn’t have to listen to that constant dripping and leaking at night anymore.

Those little things can drive you crazy, especially when you’re trying to sleep. Sometimes fixing the problem isn’t just about stopping a leak. It’s about getting your peace and quiet back.

Another job done. Another customer happy.
