OUR STORY

Empowering every DIYer to finish what they start

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.

RENOVATE WITHOUT REMOVAL

Transform your home without tearing it apart

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.

  • Significant cost savings
  • Convenience and stability
  • Environmental sustainability

Cost Savings

Refinish instead of replace and keep far more in your budget.

Faster Timelines

Skip demo and cleanup — projects wrap in a fraction of the time.

Eco-Friendly

Less waste to the landfill by reusing what already works.

OUR NEW MODEL

You do the work. We do the worrying.

We traded the tool belt for a clipboard. Instead of taking over, we plan the job with you, catch mistakes before they happen, and keep you moving when you get stuck.

  1. 01

    Assess

    We walk the project with you and map scope, budget, and the smartest order of operations.

  2. 02

    Plan

    You get a clear DIY roadmap — materials list, tool checklist, permits, and a realistic timeline.

  3. 03

    Coach

    Hands-on guidance at the tricky steps, in person or on a video call, so you never guess.

  4. 04

    Support

    Text us a photo, get an answer. We stay on call until the project is done right.

WHICH FITS YOU?

Two ways to get it done.

You don’t have to hand your home to a crew to get a pro result. Here’s how do-it-with-you compares to the traditional route.
