Hi, I'm Bob Vila
You probably know me from TV. For the better part of a half century, as the host of shows like This Old House and Home Again with Bob Vila, I’ve been teaching and inspiring people to upgrade their homes and improve their lives. I learned firsthand about home building from my father, and I’ve written more than a dozen books about remodeling, buying your dream home, and visiting historic homes across America. It’s fair to say that buildings, especially homes, are my life’s work.
