Providing quality, affordable work from a licensed professional contractor. A large percentage of our business is generated from repeat customers and referrals. We are a trustworthy family business you can count on.

"1. Decided not to go through with this work. As products I was advised to order by contractor were out of stock and decided to do the work with a friend. 2. Looks good! 3. Floors look great; subcontracted out. Should've had couple items clearly written out before work began but happy with the work completed. Dispose of all trash/scrapes myself. I wouldn't hire again due to a couple issues but work completed was an A."

No job is too small. The Fix-It Man is a handyman service serving Dallas and Polk Counties. I can fix just about anything in and around your home. We repair drywall, and decks, mount TV’s, repair windows and screens, install antennae, replace lighting fixtures, add an outlet, paint, wallpaper and refinish furniture, and more. I am insured and estimates are always free.

"The ends of the planks on my deck were rotted and Greg was the only person who suggested the window-frame solution. Others suggested splice and replace. Though it cost me a little bit more, the idea is clever and the end result is polished, enjoyable to o view and took care of all the rotted ends. I'm hiring Greg to stain my deck as well. Unlike others, he doesn't pressure wash decks, unless he has to, because pressure washing destroys wood."

We offer a full range of services: Structural repair (re-gluing, and part replacement) Antique refinishing, In home repair, and touch up, Custom designed and built furniture, In home upholstery repair (springs, webbing, foam), Re-upholstery, Water damage repair, Fire and smoke damage repair. We have put together a collection of the finest craftsmen in the area. Our goal is to offer you the very best quality and service possible at a price you can afford, without sacrificing quality. In-home repairs offered: Most people don't know the level of repair that is possible. Frequently, we have customers tell us "I'm pretty sure it's ruined and you can't fix it." Often, in less time than people think, we can repair the damage. Just because it looks bad, does not mean it is. In most instances, work is finished for less than one would expect: structural repairs, chair re-gluing, drawer repairs, hinge replacement, mechanism replacement on chairs and recliners, hand stitch repair to blown out seams in upholstered furniture, leather repair & recoloring dent and ding repair, color replacement, and antique refinishing. In-Shop Furniture Repair: We are the experts at giving you the very best quality repairs possible. Customers have told us many times that their pieces of furniture were “completely destroyed and could never be repaired” just to surprise them by showing them what can be done. It is always a wonderful feeling to see a customer look at a piece of furniture, they thought was destroyed, repaired and in better condition than it was originally. Very few pieces are truly beyond repair, although it is occasionally more cost effective to replace a piece than it is to repair, more often than not it is less expensive to do the repair. Custom builds: We are always willing to work with our customers to give them the most cost effective repair. Custom Built cabinets, fireplaces, and furniture. When you just cannot find what you are looking for, or want that custom look that no one else has, we can help. We will work with you on every aspect of the project from initial design, wood selection, to finding the perfect finish and hardware. Too many of our customers have family heirlooms that are just rotting in a corner of the basement, because they are not in good enough condition for display. We repeatedly find that once these pieces have been repaired and refinished they become the center of attention, displayed proudly in the customer’s home. We can offer you a choice of options from touching up the color and giving the piece a fresh coat of finish, to refinishing in some of the most durable finishes on the market today.

"Very quick and professional."

Furniture Refinishing questions, answered by experts

Pros cover many fixes, from upholstery renewals to joint reinforcement.

Chalk paint can be applied without sanding first. Keep in mind that while there are a lot of chalk paint color options available, there aren’t as many choices as latex or oil-based paint.

You can also learn how to paint furniture without sanding using a liquid deglosser, sometimes referred to as liquid sandpaper. This can remove any old paint, gloss, or varnish, without the need to manually sand. Apply the deglosser using a cloth, then wait for the chemical to penetrate through the surface. Once it soaks through, you should be able to wipe away the residue with a towel. 

Not always—heavily worn or broken furniture often isn’t worth repairing or refinishing (if it’s even possible). While some damage can be repaired and some of the visual appeal restored, major flaws, such as structural issues, can’t be fixed as easily. If you still want a cost-saving furniture refinishing project rather than purchasing all new, consider shopping for similar secondhand pieces at thrift stores, garage sales, and estate sales.

No. Once you apply refinishing oil, it will continue to seep into the wood, making it difficult or impossible to refinish over top of it. Since the product contains an oil that’s meant to penetrate existing finishes, almost anything you put on top of it will bring the previous layer of stain with it. If you plan to refinish your cabinets more than once, it’s a good idea to go with the traditional method of sanding before applying a new finish to the surface.

Yes, vinegar can remove polyurethane from wood, but it is a slow, inefficient, and inconsistent restoration method. Whatever your intention, it’s best to avoid using vinegar on wood with a polyurethane finish—though it can be an effective cleaner for other wood finishes.
