Success Stories

“I became a DIYer out of necessity about 5 years ago. I started with tiling a bathroom myself. Then I did everything but the plumbing on the next bathroom. This is when I discovered Jeff’s tutorials on Instagram. I could tell he not only did quality work himself, but was also a high-quality teacher. I wanted to finally tackle plumbing in this third bathroom, so I decided to subscribe to Home Repair Tutor. I wish I would have signed up 5 years ago! The videos are very well organized and packed full of professional tips. Of course, every project is different, so it was especially helpful to set up a coaching session. Jeff gave me the confidence I needed to do the plumbing. He followed up with me, providing very specific guidance, so I knew exactly what supplies to buy. He definitely saved me time and money! Home Repair Tutor is an invaluable resource that I highly recommend to DIYers and contractors alike.”

“I have always wanted to take on a larger-scale job myself, but was scared of the unknown. Home Repair Tutor gave me the confidence I needed to give it a go. I knew that Jeff was always there to have my back should I ever get into a tough situation. I found that almost every challenge I encountered was covered in various courses with expert detail and guidance. I know there are many interpretations of “right” ways to do things. But I always felt that the way it was explained on Home Repair Tutor was well thought out and truly from an expert’s point of view. Thank you again for empowering me to do this and giving me skill sets that I can use for years to come.”

“A shoutout to the Home Repair Tutor. My husband and I are building a garage apartment on our own, and I knew I wanted to tile the bathroom, the WHOLE bathroom, all the way around! I’ve done some tile backsplashes, but not a shower. I was intimidated. Thanks to Jeff’s Courses we were able to tackle what we thought was a very daunting project! It’s complete, and I’m beyond happy with our finished bathroom, and I learned plenty of new skills along the way. Keep sharing your knowledge, Jeff. We appreciate it!”
