Jeff Wilson

Jeff Wilson's 25 years in the construction industry has spanned the roles of carpenter, remodeler, and home improvement host on HGTV and the diy network. On TV, Jeff has told stories of historic restorations (Restore America, HGTV) and taught people how to build everything from decks (Build-a-Deck, diy network) to fences (Build-a-Fence, diy network) to handmade musical instruments (Hand Made Music, diy network).

Jeff studied classical piano, earning a music degree because, in his words it "looks good on a resume." His lack of musical talent kept his construction skills honed while his sense of humor, laid-back delivery, and can-do attitude earned him the postition of TV host. Jeff is still teaching people do-it-yourself skills on TV and the web and espousing the benefits of Deep Energy Retrofitting of our older homes and buildings. Jeff lives with his wife and two daughters in a perpetually half-renovated home in a small college town in Ohio.
