Problem
Homeowners often face uncertainty when tackling maintenance issues—they don't know the severity of a problem, what a fair repair cost looks like, or which contractor to trust. This leads to delayed fixes, overpaying for services, or hiring unvetted providers. Many people also lack the confidence or knowledge to attempt simple DIY repairs themselves.
Solution
FiXA is a free, browser-based AI assistant that helps homeowners diagnose property issues by simply taking a photo or describing the problem. Within minutes, the platform provides a clear diagnosis, an estimated fair cost range, and step-by-step DIY guidance when appropriate. For those who prefer professional help, FiXA connects users with verified, licensed contractors—including a growing network of women-owned and women-friendly pros—in the greater Philadelphia region. The tool works anywhere for diagnosis and DIY support, while contractor matching is currently limited to Philadelphia and neighboring counties. There's no download, no credit card, and no pressure, making it accessible to anyone regardless of technical skill or prior home repair experience.
