The Stanley Complete Step-by-Step Revised Book of Home Repair and Improvement By The Stanley Company

When it comes to home repair, one of the most trusted names has to be the Stanley Company. They make what many consider to be the best tools, and when you see that yellow and black label, you immediately know you can count on it. This branding has served them well for years, and when I came across the book, with the usual yellow and black color scheme, I knew it had to be pretty good.

While the book is not exactly reader friendly in spots, you can tell just by looking at the table of contents that it’s meant to serve a purpose. Much like their tools, this book from Stanley will get the job done. The first two chapters cover basic tools and power tools, offering even the newest newbie a complete look at everything they need to get started. You can take the book with you when you’re shopping for tools, to make it easier to figure out exactly what you need.

Part two delves into hardware, finishing and materials, covering everything from plywood to hinges. Part three however is where it gets good. This is literally the bible of home repair and covers every kind of project imaginable. No matter what you have planned to do to your home, chances are you’ll be able to find the information you need right here.

From staining your floors, to repairing foundations to figuring out how to free a stuck window sash cord, it’s all right there. This interior section is worth the cost of the book itself, but section four gets even better and takes you outside your home with even more great projects. In fact, after reading through the book, you may just find yourself completely inspired to redo your home.

Parts five and six are worth their weight in gold and cover home systems and safety tips that every DIY’er should know. The last section in the book is your homeowner’s inspection sheet that takes you through everything in your house, helping you spot errors and learning what needs to be fixed. Even mold, radon and lead are covered, as well as many other hidden things that lurk within homes undetected for years.

Whether you are intrepid do-it-yourselfer, just getting started, or simply trying to find a way to save money by fixing things on your own, buy this book. It’s the easiest way to get everything you need to know about home repair, all in one place. There are few books this exhaustive or this thorough and even though it may not be light reading, it’s material that you know will work.

This is a great housewarming gift and it’s perfect for anyone that’s considering becoming a weekend warrior. Before you pick up a drill, take the time to get the book and start flipping through. You’ll come away with everything you need to know about home repair, and then some.
