How Fixt Works: The Complete Homeowner & Fixer Guide (2026)
From AI photo diagnosis to flash bidding, bid payments, FixtMarket materials, and Fixt Super Agent — a full walkthrough of every part of the Fixt platform.
What Fixt Is
Fixt is a home repair marketplace in New York only. Homeowners post repairs with photos, get an AI scope, and receive bids from fixers. The homeowner pays the accepted bid and nothing on top. Fixt takes 5% from the fixer payout. You pay the winning bid. There is no homeowner fee. Fixers pay a flat subscription — not per-lead fees. FixtMarket adds contractor materials with a New York City delivery window. Morgan is Fixt Super Agent.
Step 1 — Describe the Problem (AI Diagnosis)
Start at fixt.live, the Fixt app, or message Fixt Super Agent. Upload photos of the issue — a leak, crack, broken outlet, or appliance error. Fixt AI analyzes images and text to suggest likely causes, severity, DIY vs pro guidance, and a fair price range based on market data. You are not locked into the AI estimate; it is a transparency layer before any contractor speaks to you.
Step 2 — Flash Bidding
When you publish the job, Fixt opens a bidding window (often 30 minutes to a few hours). Local fixers in your service area see the scope. A job takes up to five bids. Fixt scores each bid on rating, price vs market, timeline, and category experience — the top score earns an AI Recommended badge so you can choose value, not just the lowest number.
Step 3 — Checkout & Messaging
Accept a bid and You pay that bid amount through Stripe. The homeowner is not charged a fee on top. Fixt takes 5% from the fixer payout. You pay the winning bid. There is no homeowner fee. In-job chat keeps scope, photos, and updates in one thread. If something goes wrong, either party can open a dispute; Fixt reviews evidence before a refund or paying the fixer.
Step 4 — FixtMarket & Materials
Need parts before the fixer arrives? FixtMarket lets you search plumbing, electrical, HVAC, paint, and hardware. One cart, guest checkout, and AI search on fixt.live/market. Delivery is New York City boroughs. Delivery follows that borough’s weekday cutoff. Staten Island is next-day. Morgan, Fixt Super Agent, can build a cart from natural language — “I need PVC cement for a bathroom job in Brooklyn.”
Step 5 — Recurring & Autopilot
Prevent expensive emergencies with recurring maintenance on Fixt. Set HVAC tune-ups, gutter cleaning, or inspections on a schedule; Fixt can auto-post seasonal jobs to a preferred fixer and notify you by email. Completed jobs can offer one-click recurring setup so the same pro returns on your cadence.
For Fixers: How the Other Side Works
Fixers subscribe at a flat monthly rate, complete profile and trust verification (including background check integration where enabled), and bid on real jobs — not purchased leads. Stripe Connect pays out after homeowner approval. Ratings and completion history feed the AI bid score, so quality fixers win more work over time.
