Fix It Madison

Some things are worth fixing.

The Madison area is full of people who'd rather fix it than toss it, and plenty of neighbors who still know how. We help them find each other, for the small things that deserve a second life.

Find a fixer

Local fixers who've asked to be listed. Every listing is checked by a person before it appears.

The small stuff

The repairs that fall through the cracks, too small for a shop and too good to throw away:

  • Fishing reels
  • Cast iron pans
  • Canoe paddles
  • Quilts
  • Lamps
  • Eyeglasses
  • Bikes
  • Clocks
  • Sewing machines
  • Radios
  • Ice skates
  • Heirlooms

Proud to support Madison-area repair cafés

Fix It Madison doesn't replace repair cafés. We want to send them more volunteers and visitors, and give the "couldn't finish it today" items somewhere to go.

Coming soon: fixer stories

Short profiles of the people across the Madison area who still know how to fix things, and why they do it.

Join the fixer list

Free to join during launch. Nothing is shared publicly unless you say so below, and your email and phone stay private unless you choose to show them.

Signing up someone else? That's okay, just make sure they agree.

Your permissions

Your privacy

We collect only what you type into these forms: a fixer's sign-up details, and the messages people send to fixers. We use it only to run Fix It Madison: listing fixers who asked to be listed, passing messages on, and getting in touch about what you agreed to. We never sell or share it.

A fixer's email and phone appear on their listing only if they chose that. Fix It Madison doesn't handle payments; any price or payment is between you and your fixer. To see, change or remove your information, email hello@fixitmadison.com.

Message

Your message goes straight to the fixer, and they'll reply to your email. Their email stays private.

Fix It Madison only makes the introduction. Price, payment and pickup are up to you and the fixer.
