Done With You — expert guidance while you do the work.
We help homeowners turn big visions into finished projects. You keep control and save on labor; we bring the plan, the coaching, and the confidence to get it right.
Mr. Fix It DWY was founded in Brookings, OR by Harold Bailey — someone who genuinely loves helping people succeed in their own home projects. His belief is simple: with the right guidance, anyone can pull off their DIY dreams.
Hi, I'm Harold. I'm a licensed Oregon General Contractor, certified in Aging-in-Place, Mold Testing & Remediation, and Indoor Air Quality. I taught industrial education and vocational training at the community-college level, and I've run my own business since 1989.
We're here to bridge the gap between your vision and its successful execution.
To empower homeowners in Brookings and beyond to confidently take on — and finish — their remodels. We move the contractor from traditional laborer to Strategic Partner and Technical Coach, filling the gap between expensive full-service remodeling and risky solo DIY. And, most importantly, become a friend you can count on.
We believe in Re-Use, Re-Purpose & Re-Hab. Whenever it's possible — and unnecessary to do otherwise — it's best not to modify the structure. That's why we've developed highly effective techniques, processes and products for refinishing everything from countertops and cabinets to old tile walls and much more.
Refinish instead of replace and keep far more in your budget.
Skip demo and cleanup — projects wrap in a fraction of the time.
Less waste to the landfill by reusing what already works.
Drag the sliders and pick how hands-on you want to be. We'll show a ballpark of what the Do-It-With-You approach could save against a full-service remodel.
Estimates only. Your real numbers come from a consultation.
From detailed planning to hands-on help and tool rental, pick the level of support that fits your project — you do the work, we bring the expertise.
