Contact FixItRight

FixItRight is a small, independent, ad-supported site — there is no support desk standing by, but a real person reads everything that comes in to support@howtot.com.

A few things this address is genuinely useful for: a calculator that gave you a result you think is wrong (say which tool — the paint coverage calculator, drywall patch size guide, tile count calculator, caulk amount estimator, wall anchor selector, or project time estimator— and the values you entered); a tool you wish existed on the site; an error or unclear step in the blog, learn section, or the museum; or a bug in how a page looks or behaves on your device.

There’s no fixed response time to promise, and no ticket number or live chat — email is read and handled as it comes in. If your question is really “is it safe for me to do this specific repair myself,” especially anything involving electrical, gas, or structural work, a licensed professional in your area will serve you far better than this site can: FixItRight provides general-purpose calculators and guides for everyday homeowner maintenance, not an inspection or a professional assessment of your specific situation.

Before writing in about a tool result, it’s worth double-checking the numbers you entered — a mismatched unit, a mistyped dimension, or a wall type that doesn’t match your actual wall is the most common source of a surprising answer. If it still looks off after that, that’s exactly the kind of message worth sending.
