Fix It Yourself: The Homeowner's Playbook

That $300 handyman visit? Most of those jobs take ten minutes and $20 in parts.

Fix It Yourself: The Homeowner's Playbook is a 60-page guide, designed to read on your phone, that shows homeowners how to fix the most common problems around the house themselves, step by step, with basic tools, and how to spot the small signs before they turn into big bills.

THE 7 AREAS INSIDE

1. Plumbing: the running toilet, the dripping faucet, slow drains and clogs

2. Walls: holes, cracks, nail pops, caulk and grout that looks new again

3. Doors & windows: squeaks, sticking doors, latches and drafts

4. Floors: squeaky boards, scratches, loose tiles and tired grout

5. Appliances: the dishwasher that won't drain, the dryer vent, the water heater

6. Outside: gutters, downspouts, exterior caulk and seasonal shut-offs

7. Warning signs: the stain, the smell and the crack that mean call a pro now

Every fix shows what you see, what causes it, the tools, the steps, what it costs to do it yourself versus hiring it out, and when it's time to call a professional.
