Free intro call
Twenty minutes on your home and the jobs that keep getting postponed.

Fix it yourself,
Fix it yourself,
and know when not to.
A dripping faucet costs $180 to have fixed and about eleven minutes to do yourself. Some jobs are the opposite — and knowing which is which is most of what we teach.

The programs
Four programs, and a clear line on what to hire out
Everything here is work a competent homeowner can do safely. Anything beyond that gets a name and a phone call, not a tutorial.
Repairs & tools
A tool kit that covers most jobs, and the twenty repairs that account for most calls to a handyman.
See the programPlumbing basics
Faucets, running toilets, slow drains and shut-off valves — the water jobs that are genuinely DIY.
See the programWalls & paint
Patching holes invisibly, preparing properly, and painting a room so it looks like someone competent did it.
See the programSeasonal maintenance
The checks that catch water damage, ice dams and failing appliances before they become five-figure problems.

How it works
Show us the problem, get a plan
Video tutorials show a clean example. Your pipe is corroded, behind a cabinet, and a different shape.
Photograph the problem
Wide shot and close-up. Most diagnoses come straight from that.
A plan and a parts list
What to buy, what it costs, and the steps in order.
Live help if you want it
Stay on video while you do it the first time.

How we work
Honest about what you shouldn't do
We don't teach electrical work beyond resetting a breaker, anything involving gas, structural changes, or roof work. Those kill people and void insurance, and plenty of it requires permits and licensed trades.
What's left is still most of what a handyman gets called for. Learning it saves real money, and knowing exactly where the line is saves more.
Frequently asked
The questions we get most
Will you teach me electrical work?
No, beyond identifying a tripped breaker or GFCI. Wiring is licensed work in most places for good reason, and we'll help you find an electrician instead.
I rent. Is this useful?
Yes — plenty of small repairs are allowed and worth doing, and knowing what's the landlord's responsibility is useful too. Check your lease before anything permanent.
What tools do I need?
Less than you'd think. The first session covers a kit that handles most jobs and costs less than one service call. We sell nothing.
How do I know if a job is too big?
That's a core part of the coaching. Send photos; we'll tell you honestly, including when the answer is to call someone.
Can you help during the job?
Yes, on the on-call plan. Staying on video while you do something the first time is often all people need.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contract, no minimum term. Access stays open until the end of the month you already paid for.
What's been on the list too long?
Twenty minutes on the jobs you keep postponing, and which are genuinely yours to do. Free.
