Why I Wrote Simple Home Repair (And Why You’ll Want to Read It.)
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.
