I'm Benny Hawkins. I've spent over fifty years fixing houses, faucets, doors, and yards across the Ark-La-Tex. Now I explain it in plain language — what's actually wrong, what it should cost, and whether you can handle it yourself.
Every repair I get asked about most, broken down the same way every time: what's happening, how to tell for sure, the tools you need, the six steps, when to stop and call somebody. Illustrated throughout so you can see the part before you go looking for it.
The fixes people ask me about the most. Read them, use them, send them to your neighbor.
Ten fixes you can handle yourself, explained plain. Free — I'll send it the minute you sign up.
Locally, hands-on. Anywhere else, over the phone or on video — a straight answer beats a guess.
I've spent over fifty years doing general maintenance, home repair, and outdoor work. Houses, shops, yards. In that time I learned that most people don't need a contractor — they need somebody to tell them the truth about what's wrong.
That's what Fix It With Benny is. Free tips, honest answers, and no talking down to anybody. If you can hold a screwdriver, you can do more than you think — and I'll tell you plainly when you shouldn't try.
"Benny saved me a service call by talking me through a simple O-ring replacement for my kitchen faucet."
"I was surprised by the food coloring tip Benny gave me — it showed me exactly where the leak was coming from in my toilet."
"The free checklist helped me catch a small problem before it became a big one."
In-person work stays close to home. The guides, the Bible, and phone advice go anywhere.
Send a photo and a sentence about what it's doing. I answer every one.
