Built to Help You Build
Welcome to UpFixPro, where tools meet trust and upgrades feel less like chores—and more like wins. Whether you're swapping out a light fixture or leveling up your weekend warrior game, we’re here to guide, cheer, and help you fix it right the first time. Let's turn your to-dos into ta-das.
Hey, We’ve Been There (Mid-project, Covered in Paint)
We get it. Fixing things can be rewarding… and also kind of a mess. That’s why UpFixPro was born—to give every DIYer (yep, even first-timers) a place to get unstuck, feel confident, and maybe even have a little fun along the way.
One of us once spent three hours trying to anchor a shelf that was absolutely not level. Another took four trips to the hardware store because nobody mentioned the adapter valve. We’ve learned the hard way, tested the shortcuts, and now we’re passing it all on to you.
From patching drywall to making your bathroom finally feel like a spa, we’re here for the little wins that make a big impact.
Meet Your UpFix Crew
We’re DIYers, contractors, home flippers, and weekend project warriors—just like you. From big renovations to small touch-ups, we’ve hammered, drilled, and problem-solved our way through it all. Now we’re turning what we’ve learned into smarter how-tos and better outcomes for your next big (or small) fix.
Jack Mercer

Jack doesn’t just fix things—he *figures them out.* With a background in residential contracting and a lifelong obsession with taking things apart (and yes, putting them back together), Jack brings the structure, know-how, and shortcut strategies that make even big projects feel manageable. He’s the guy who rewired his garage for fun and thinks “stud finder” jokes never get old.

Nessa Smith
Design-Driven DIYer
Nessa believes good design shouldn’t come with an intimidating price tag—or power tools you’ve never heard of. With a background in interior styling and hands-on renovation, she mixes aesthetics with accessibility, showing readers how to create spaces that feel fresh, functional, and *totally doable*. Her specialty? Weekend makeovers that actually stick.

Marco Briggs
Workshop Strategist & Tool Whisperer
Marco knows his way around a toolbox the way chefs know their knives. With years of experience in tool testing, product development, and a bit of mechanical wizardry, he helps readers separate the useful from the gimmicky. If it drills, saws, clamps, or sharpens—he’s probably already tested three versions of it.

No Blueprints? No Problem.
At UpFixPro, we believe your home should work for you. That’s why we’re on a mission to make DIY feel doable, projects feel possible, and every fix feel like progress. We don’t just hand you tools—we hand you confidence.
How We Help You Nail It (Without the Nail Gun)
Around here, we keep things simple, smart, and genuinely helpful. Before we recommend a tip, trick, or tool, we ask:
- Does it solve the real problem?
- Can anyone do it (with the right guide)?
- Will it actually last?
- Does it make the process feel less overwhelming?
We’re not chasing trends—we’re chasing solid fixes. Every guide we write, product we share, or tool we love is backed by experience and designed to make your home feel more like yours.
