    • A must have in every home
Every home will eventually need some touch up even if you live in a rental, this book give you great instructions on how to do that. There are plenty of pictures to go along with the directions so it's even easier to understand. Of course the book has more to offer than most of us would actually need but it gives you an understanding of how much work it would be if you wanted to do this or that. It also gives you all the basics like safety and protection, terminology, tools explanations, and more. Of course for small repairs, one can just search online for a remedy but I prefer to have it in print while I'm working, plus it gives me a lot more information that sometimes the web doesn't tell you like safe operation. All in all I HIGHLY recommend having a copy around "just in case". Think of it as a first-aid manual, because it really is (at least for me). ... show more

    • Pleasantly surprised
I honestly wasn’t going to buy this book because I thought it would be very very beginner- like “this is a hammer” beginner. There’s quiet a few things in this book that I Id never attempt until reading it. I have not yet attempted those projects, like fixing siding, but considering what ANY repair in a house cost, its fairly comprehensive and easy to follow. I may be updating this post months from now with explicatives (this is how most of my DIY projects turn out), but I like having an actual book- not weeding through YouTube videos that may/may not be correct and trying to find a website to show me simple things. I do wish there was more on using more complex power tools- tips/tricks, as it would be suitable for this book, and more on carpentry, but it’s still worth 5 stars. ... show more

    • Solid advice
Best overall book to get from the Home Depot for projects around the home. The Home Depot puts out other books focusing on various projects but this is the one to really own if you’re going to buy just one. Highly recommended for those of us wannabe Handyman. I also use this book to understand the job before I hire contractors so I know they are not conning me and I know how the job is supposed to be done before they even start. My contractor friend recommended this book to me because the advice is solid in most cases. I highly recommend it. ... show more

    • Very Comprehensive Book / Fast Delivery
For a very broad range of problems or questions a home owner mat encounter in repairs or upgrades this book is very useful. If there is not enough information on a topic , it is still a valuable starting point for just about any issue. It is however very specific for many situations.

    • Home Improvement 1-2-3
This book is a good introduction to home improvement. It provides detailed instructions on how to handle a large variety of projects. It's not the end all be all, however, and it's important to make sure you have a basic understanding of tools before you start. I would recommend pairing it with one of the Black and Decker series books, which are much more specific to the project you may be tackling. ... show more

    • A Classic!
This book is a classic! This is the third copy I've purchased. It is really one of the most practical books for those who like doing their own work and repairs at home. It covers pretty much all areas (plumbing, electrical, structural work, etc.). Of course, there are many YouTube videos that are very good, but this book it's really an excellent resource by itself. ... show more

Our realtor gifted us this book when we bought a fixer upper & it has been invaluable. So when my brother in law got his first house I knew it would be a great housewarming present & resource.
