OoM 020: DIY Home Repair with Jeff Patterson

//  by 

If you’re anything like me, you spend a lot of time fixing things up around the house. As frustrating as it can be at times, I love that I can start and complete a project with my own hands. It doesn’t always turn out the best but there is something to be said for a man who is handy around the tools.

Today, we talk with Jeff Patterson from Home Repair Tutor all about DIY home repair, what tools every guy needs to have, how to save money on home repairs and renovations, and where you can get the very best home repair tips.

“If you get into trouble with your home, you can get out of it if you learn to use a set of tools.” Tweet That— Jeff Patterson

Meet Jeff Patterson

Jeff Patterson

I’m excited to be introducing you to Jeff Petterson. I have been following Jeff’s work for some time because I really enjoy working on projects around the house (I’m currently working on a fence and the roof to our children’s treehouse).

Not only is Jeff and handyman expert, he is also a real estate entrepreneur (which you’ll hear a little bit about in our conversation).

His big focus is on teaching simple home repair projects. You’ll hear in his interview that he has a passion for helping his fans complete their own DIY experiments.

I’m a huge fan of his YouTube videos (they’ve been viewed more than 2,000,000 times). Mostly because his approach to home improvement and repair is extremely simple, thoughtful, and they inspire me to get going on some of the projects I’ve been putting off.

“The very first year we lived in our house, we needed a new roof, hot water tank, and a boiler.” Tweet That— Jeff Patterson
