It all begins with an idea.
That’s how Simple Home Repair started just an idea scribbled in a notepad during a lunch break. After decades of fixing homes, managing repairs, and answering the same homeowner questions again and again, I realized something simple: most people want to take care of their own homes they just need a little guidance and confidence to get started.

What if there was a book that explained things in plain language? One that skipped the fluff and focused on real-world solutions anyone could do? That idea kept growing until it became the book I wish every homeowner had on their shelf. Simple Home Repair is that book and I wrote it for you.

When things break, most people panic. ACME doesn’t. Our Fix-It Kits give you step-by-step solutions to the everyday chaos leaks, power outages, frozen pipes, electrical mysteries, and more. No waiting, no guessing, no overpriced pros. Just you, the fix, and total control.

They don't tell you this, but half the things breaking in your home don't need a contractor they just need a little know-how and a wrench that fits. I built these Fix-It Kits for the rebels, the renters, the tired parents and pissed off DIYers who are done getting screwed over by service fees and five minute fixes. This is the toolkit revolution.
