About Us
Hi there! Welcome to How Do You Fix, your go-to guide for solving life’s little hiccups. Whether it’s a wobbly chair, a pair of headphones that suddenly stopped working, or a zipper that just won’t budge, we’re here to help you figure it out—step by step, no stress required.
We believe that when something breaks, you don’t need complicated instructions or a lecture in engineering. You just need clear, practical advice that gets the job done. That’s exactly what we’re here to provide.
Our Story
It all started with a question: How do you fix this?
We’ve all been there—staring at a broken gadget, a household hiccup, or a DIY project gone sideways, wondering what to do next. That moment of frustration is what inspired us to create How Do You Fix.
We wanted to build a space where anyone, no matter their skill level, could find simple, logical solutions to everyday problems. From household repairs to gadget fixes and DIY hacks, we’re here to make the process approachable, empowering, and maybe even a little fun.
Today, How Do You Fix is more than just a website—it’s a community of problem-solvers, tinkerers, and everyday heroes who believe that no issue is too small to tackle.
Fix It Forward
When something stops working, most people just want a clear answer and a simple way to fix it. How Do You Fix is here to walk through those everyday problems step by step, and helps you understand the fix, not just follow instructions.
Editorial Guidelines
Diagnosis Before Steps
Every guide opens with the why, not just the how. Understanding what caused the problem helps readers confirm they're looking at the right fix—and means the repair is far more likely to actually hold. We never skip straight to step one.
Steps That Assume Nothing
We write every guide for someone doing this for the first time. No assumed prior knowledge, no skipped steps, no instructions that only make sense if you already know the answer. Every action is explained clearly, and every tool or material is named specifically.
Honest Difficulty Ratings
We tell you upfront how long a repair realistically takes, what tools you actually need, and whether a first-timer can confidently handle it. We don't oversell the simplicity of any fix—that's the kind of honesty that makes a guide genuinely trustworthy.
Verified by People Who've Done It
Every guide on How Do You Fix is written or reviewed by someone with direct, practical experience in that specific type of repair. Real-world nuance, common mistakes, and tricky variations are always addressed—because that's what separates a guide that works from one that almost does.
What We Cover
Household Fixes
The repairs that make daily life run more smoothly—furniture that wobbles, doors that stick, fixtures that drip, and all the small things that gradually add up to a home that feels like it needs constant attention. Most of them don't. They just need the right guide.
Gadget Repairs
The devices people use every day—headphones, remotes, keyboards, charging cables, small appliances—break in predictable ways that are more often repairable than they appear. This section covers those repairs with the clarity and patience they deserve.
Everyday DIY
The practical knowledge that turns "I'll call someone for that" into "I can handle that." Patching walls, replacing switches, sealing gaps, hanging things properly—the foundational repair skills that make homeownership less reactive and more in-hand.
The People Behind Every Fix
Griffin Wooldridge
Repairs Editor-in-Chief
Former appliance and electronics repair technician with 6 years of hands-on diagnostic work across household items, small appliances, and common gadgets. Griffin has a rare ability to translate complex repair logic into language that makes immediate sense to someone who has never attempted a fix before. His editorial standard for every guide is the same one he applied to every repair job: understand the problem completely before you touch anything else.
Alicia Verdin
Finishing & Restoration Editor
Surface repair specialist and former furniture restoration professional with a deep knowledge of adhesives, fillers, paints, and finishing materials across wood, metal, plastic, ceramic, and fabric. Alicia brings a level of material science to her guides that most repair content simply doesn't have—she understands not just what to use but why one product outperforms another in a specific scenario, and she explains those distinctions in a way that helps readers make smarter choices at the hardware store before they even start the repair.
Levi Hamouche
Gadget Repair Editor
Levi has been repairing consumer electronics professionally for over a decade—first at an independent repair shop, then as a technical writer documenting repair procedures for a major device manufacturer. His guides are known for explaining why a device behaves the way it does, not just what to do about it—which is what makes them genuinely useful when the problem doesn't present exactly as described.
Taylor Evans
General Repairs & DIY Editor
Practical repair enthusiast and product durability researcher who has spent years documenting fixes for the everyday objects people assume are beyond saving—clothing, bags, accessories, small household tools, and miscellaneous items that don't belong to any obvious category. Taylor writes with the specific clarity of someone who learned most of what he knows through trial and error, and who remembers exactly which part of each process needed a better explanation than he could find.
