Everything Your Home Needs — Under One Roof
Kitchen Remodeling & Renovation
A kitchen remodel changes how your home feels every single day. We handle everything from cabinet installation and countertop replacement to full layout changes. Whether you want a minor refresh or a complete gut renovation, the work gets done cleanly and on schedule. Your kitchen should work for your life — we build it that way.
Bathroom Remodeling & Renovation
An outdated bathroom drags down the entire feel of a home. We replace tile, update fixtures, install new vanities, and handle full bathroom renovations from start to finish. Every detail gets attention — waterproofing, lighting, ventilation. The result is a bathroom that looks new and functions exactly the way you want it to.
Basement Finishing & Completion
An unfinished basement is square footage you are not using. We turn raw basement space into living areas, home offices, gyms, or extra bedrooms. Framing, drywall, flooring, electrical — we handle the full scope. A finished basement adds real value to your home and real usable space to your daily life.
Hardwood & Laminate Flooring Installation
New floors make every room look better immediately. We install hardwood, laminate, and engineered flooring with clean cuts and tight seams throughout. Prep work matters just as much as the installation — we make sure the subfloor is ready before anything goes down. The finished result is level, smooth, and built to last.
Ceramic & Porcelain Tile Installation
Tile work is all about precision. We cut, lay, and grout tile for bathrooms, kitchens, entryways, and floors throughout the home. Bad tile work shows fast — uneven lines, cracked grout, hollow spots. We take the time to do it right the first time so it holds up for years without issues.
Drywall & Sheetrock Installation & Repair
Whether you need new drywall hung or old damaged sections repaired, we handle both. Holes, cracks, water damage — we patch and finish drywall so it blends seamlessly with the surrounding wall. New construction or renovation, every surface gets taped, mudded, and sanded to a smooth, paint-ready finish.
Interior & Exterior House Painting
A fresh coat of paint is one of the highest-return improvements you can make. We prep every surface properly before paint ever touches a wall — that is what separates a lasting paint job from one that peels in two years. Interior rooms, exterior siding, trim, ceilings — clean lines, even coverage, and no mess left behind.
Roof Repair & Replacement
A damaged roof is not something to put off. We repair leaks, replace missing shingles, and handle full roof replacements when the damage goes beyond patching. Catching a roof problem early saves thousands down the road. We assess honestly and recommend only what the situation actually requires.
Concrete Driveway & Patio Installation
Cracked or crumbling concrete brings down your curb appeal and becomes a safety issue over time. We pour and finish concrete for driveways, patios, walkways, and steps. The prep and grading work underneath is what determines how long concrete holds up — we don't skip that part.
Door & Window Installation & Replacement
Old doors and windows cost you money in energy loss and hurt your home's security. We install new entry doors, interior doors, and replacement windows with proper sealing and alignment. A well-installed door or window fits flush, operates smoothly, and keeps the elements out where they belong.
Vinyl Siding Installation & Repair
Siding protects your home's structure and defines how it looks from the street. We install new vinyl siding and repair sections that have been damaged by weather or age. Properly installed siding keeps moisture out and reduces outside noise. It is one of the best long-term investments for a home's exterior.
Residential Plumbing Services
Plumbing problems don't fix themselves — and ignoring them makes them worse. We handle pipe repairs, fixture replacements, drain issues, and plumbing work tied to remodeling projects. Licensed and experienced, we work through the problem correctly the first time so you are not dealing with the same issue again a month later.
Electrical Installation & Repair
Electrical work requires experience and a steady hand. We handle outlet and switch replacements, panel work, fixture installation, and electrical tied to remodels and additions. Every job is done to code. When electricity is involved, shortcuts are not an option — and we do not take them.
Fence Installation & Repair
A solid fence adds privacy, security, and structure to your outdoor space. We install new fences and repair existing ones that have shifted, rotted, or been damaged. We work with wood, vinyl, and chain link depending on your needs. The posts go in right so the fence stays standing through Connecticut winters.
General Home Renovation & Repair
Not every project fits neatly into one category. We handle general renovation and repair work across the home — from fixing what's broken to improving what's dated. If something needs attention in your home and you are not sure who to call, this is the right place to start.

Who We Are
A Team Committed to Excellence
Started With a Handshake
Seven years ago, Timothy Blackman started Fix It Up as a one-man handyman operation in Hartford. Word spread fast — not because of ads, but because the work spoke for itself. Five years ago, the business was officially registered as Fix It Up Home Improvement & Repairs LLC. What started with small repairs has grown into a full-service remodeling company that Hartford homeowners trust for the big jobs too.

This is a family-owned business — and that means something. Every project gets treated like it's our own home on the line. We are licensed, insured, and backed by over 15 years of hands-on experience across remodeling, flooring, roofing, plumbing, electrical, and more. You get one crew that handles everything — no subcontractors, no runaround, no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Hartford, CT?
Kitchen remodeling costs in Hartford vary depending on the size of the space and the scope of work involved. A minor refresh — new countertops, cabinet updates, and paint — typically runs less than a full gut renovation with new layout, appliances, and flooring. The best way to get a real number is to schedule a free consultation so we can assess your specific kitchen. We give you an honest estimate with no surprises built in later.
Do you offer free estimates for home improvement projects?
Yes, all consultations and estimates are completely free. We come to your home, look at the project in person, and give you a detailed breakdown of what the work involves and what it will cost. There is no obligation after the estimate — we want you to feel informed before making any decisions. Call (877) 327-3814 to set something up.
Are you licensed and insured to work in Connecticut?
Yes, Fix It Up Home Improvement is fully licensed and insured to operate in Connecticut. That covers you in the event of any damage or accident during the project. Hiring an unlicensed contractor puts your home and your finances at risk — it is not worth the discount. We carry the right coverage so you are protected from start to finish.
How long does a bathroom remodel take in Hartford?
Most bathroom remodels take between one and three weeks depending on the scope of work. A simple tile and fixture update moves faster than a full renovation that involves plumbing relocation, new flooring, and custom tile work. We give you a realistic timeline upfront and stick to it. If anything changes mid-project, we tell you immediately — not at the end.
Do you handle both plumbing and electrical work?
Yes, we handle both plumbing and electrical as part of our full-service offering. This matters most during remodeling projects where both trades need to be coordinated — like a kitchen or bathroom renovation. Having one crew manage the entire scope eliminates scheduling gaps and miscommunication between different contractors. Everything gets done in the right order, by experienced hands.
What areas around Hartford do you serve?
We serve Hartford and the surrounding communities including West Hartford, East Hartford, Manchester, New Britain, Windsor, East Windsor, South Windsor, Glastonbury, Bloomfield, Wethersfield, Newington, Enfield, Rocky Hill, Meriden, and Middletown. If you are within the greater Hartford area and are not sure whether we cover your location, just call (877) 327-3814 and we'll confirm quickly.
Do you work on Saturdays in Hartford?
Yes, we are open Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. We know most homeowners work during the week, so Saturday availability makes it easier to get projects moving without taking time off. If you need to schedule a consultation or want work done over the weekend, we can usually make it happen.
Can you handle a full home renovation or do you only do small repairs?
We handle both — from small repairs to full-scale home renovations. Fix It Up started as a handyman operation and grew into a full remodeling company, so no job feels too small or too large for our crew. Whether you need one room updated or an entire floor redone, we bring the same level of care to every project. Call us and describe what you need — we will tell you honestly what it takes.
