Beginner
Problem:leaking P-trap
Fix:tightened slip joint + new washer

Total beginner and honestly nervous, but the photo guidance circled the right nut on my P-trap.

New washer, quarter-turn, drip gone. I did not need a call-out.

Problem:closet door off track
Fix:adjusted roller + replaced guide

Closet door jumped the track and I thought it was toast.

The steps were calm and practical. It was a tiny roller adjustment and a new guide.

Problem:front door rubbing the frame
Fix:tightened hinges + added a shim

Fixly nudged me to check the hinges before sanding the door. That saved me hours.

It felt doable and the door now closes cleanly.

Problem:floating shelf wobble
Fix:found stud + used toggle anchors

I was nervous about drilling into tile, but the voice guidance kept me slow and steady.

Shelf is rock solid now.

First DIY patch
Problem:small drywall hole
Fix:mesh patch + light skim coat

I am not handy. The tool checklist helped a lot.

Two short passes and it blended in better than I expected.

Problem:bathtub caulk cracked
Fix:removed old bead + re-caulked

The photo tips were key, especially the angle for the bead.

It looks cleaner and I am not dreading the next time.

Saved a call-out
Problem:toilet running nonstop
Fix:adjusted chain + replaced flapper

I saved a call-out fee and learned why it kept running.

Fix was quick once I saw the photo callouts.

Beginner
Problem:towel bar pulling out
Fix:added anchors + longer screws

Beginner here. The picture callout for the anchor size was the difference.
