Fixify Home Repair & Custom Carpentry
I'm Kevin Hayden, owner and master craftsman at Fixify Home Repair. I specialize in interior handyman home repair & improvement services in the Durham, NC area. I've been in the handyman & home improvement business for over 35 years and here in Durham for over 10 years. Are you worn out from trying to balance your career, family time, and sanity while maintaining and improving a beautiful home?

Are there home improvement projects that you have wanted to do, but aren't sure where to start or who to call? Have you experienced handymen or contractors who are more interested in what they want to do, and less about what you want to accomplish? Helping busy homeowners with interior home repairs and improvement projects is what I love to do.
Services
My journey as a builder began as I boy. I was always taking things apart to see how they worked and building projects in the basement or garage. I could not have enough Tinker Toys! Even now, the rich smell of pine wood sawdust takes me back to my childhood. I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in sculpture from Ohio University and learned welding, ceramics, and metal casting.
My 35+ years of experience in the home repair business enables me to offer a wide range of interior home repairs and handyman services. There's pretty much no problem that I haven't seen and been able to come up with a solution for. Plus, I am constantly learning new skills and techniques and keeping current on the latest trends and styles.
Do you have an opening that currently doesn't have a door that you would like to close off?. Sometimes a conventional hinged door just won't work in the space allowed. Barn doors provide a great solution for separating two spaces with a sliding door without the need for an expensive and often impractical pocket door installation.
I provide expert drywall repair in Durham, NC. Really good drywall repair is an art and I don't mind saying that I am a drywall repair artist! Over the years I have developed techniques and skills that enable me to create truly invisible repairs to drywall walls and ceilings. I use vacuum sanding to virtually eliminate all the messy dust and the results are truly amazing; no lumps, bumps, or sanding scratches.
I don't have a secretary or call service. When you call, text, or email Fixify Home Repair, I'll be the one that you reach and who will respond to you. I am almost always in the field, either driving or helping out a busy homeowner, so it's not always possible or safe for me to answer calls or respond to texts right away.

I am going to be working with Kevin again in the near future. He was responsive and punctual. There was no phone tag, there was none of the other nonsense that you run into with contractors. Bottom line is he does great work, displays amazing communication, is reliable, and will be on the job when he says so.
Thanks, Sir.
Warmest Regards,

Kevin and his son did a great job. Gave a fair estimate, got the work completed in the timeframe he promised, and left the area in better shape then when he arrived. Highly recommend his services.

Kevin helped us with removing our coffin style shower from the 70s and installing a new wider tile shower. His communication was great through the process, he anticipated any questions that we could potentially have and addressed them accordingly. He also walked us through the process of picking out the tile walls and floor as we had very little knowledge of the subject. His initial budget assessment for the job was on par for what the final bill came out to be. When comparing his pricing to the chain stores he definitely comes out on top. My wife and I currently work from home and he and his son

On time, knowledgeable and helpful, high-quality work. Kevin helped me navigate the Ikea planner and even edited the Ikea cart to make sure I got the right parts. He communicated clearly about cost, finished early, and did great work. We love our new kitchen!

Kevin and his son did a thorough job in recreating a custom cabinet for under our sink, a fairly complicated job. He took the time to ensure that the different working parts in and around the sink (electrical, plumbing) were properly up to code and safe. He came up with creative solutions to fit the space that is original to the 1970s. He was also open to shared decision making for the project, including plumbing, cabinet structure and wood type, that ultimately led to a cabinet to our liking. Kevin was also prompt with responding to my inquiry. He was further flexible with time for the project

Amazing floor to ceiling bookcases! Kevin worked with me regarding several design options that fit within my budget. His craftsmanship was superb and he completed the build/installation in very short amount of time. Professional work and person.
