After 40 years of doing something, almost anything, you tend to get real good at it.  For example, I've been breathing for nearly four decades, and consider myself quite accomplished.

 Hank Visser has been laying tile for 40 years, and his abilities are in much wider demand than mine.  Visser who calls himself "Hank The Tile Doctor", recently released two tile-installation videos on VHS and DVD.

 The first 90 minute video covers preparation, layout, tile cutting and Installation, followed by grouting.  His second 60 minute video concentrates on the installation of a mudset shower pan.  Some information on the tile selection, tools and materials is also included.

 Visser is not a Hollywood-type reading a script; you can definitely see this is genuine experience at work, and not acting.  No flashy MTV-like graphics, no crazy camera angles, just straight ahead information.  He talks while he works, describing his actions as he goes.

The videos are each priced at only $14.95 (now only $9.95) HV.  And to insure your success, your video purchase includes limitless, fast and friendly email support from Hank himself!

"I recently purchased your video on setting ceramic tile....... Let me say that it is just about the best "how to" video I have seen and I've seen a lot."

"just a note to say that I owe you a great deal of thanks for some of my remodeling success.  I purchased your videos at the beginning of last year and used the knowledge I gained in the tile work part of my jobs.  I was particularly interested in the "Shower Drain and Pan Installation" video as I was asked to build a standup tile shower with a tile basin by one of my clients,  I had never done that before.  your videos were excellent! Thank you!

Do-itYourself Tile with Hank the Tile Doctor is a 90 minute how-to video that stands out from the rest of its home improvement peers.  With 40 years of experience as a Tile Doctor, Hank truely deserves this terminal degree provided that there is one for the science and art of tile installation. If you are a home improvement enthusiast, you probably will find this video something you cannot afford to miss.  Among the instructions you will see are actual tile installations from scratch for floors, counter tops, walls and tub surrounds.  Hank will guide you step-to-step with his tips and tricks to install long lasting beautiful tiles.  The sections about how to choose the right tile and the tools alone are worth every dime of this budget-friendly instructional video. (The price is surprisingly affordable, only $14.95) ( Now only $9.95)HV.

 Viewers don't need Bob Villa for great tips on tile installation.  we've got DR. Hank.  His insider "I-have-walked-the-walk-and-talked-the-talk" tips are priceless presented in real-life actions.

Holly Hayes, Mercury News:

The Doctor is in: Hank Visser, a.k.a "The Tile Doctor",  wants to help you gain confidence to do your own tile work on counter tops, flors or tub enclosures.  Visser thought about writing a book but decided that most people would learn more by actually watching the steps.  Now Visser's "Hank the Tile Doctor" tutorials are available on DVD.  Each covers how to pick the right tile and use the right tools.  Installation tips and secrets and how to do the grout.  Visser also addresses an issue some do-it-yourselfers don't want to think about: When to hire a pro.  The DVD also includes a section on removing old tile and a list of frequently asked questions.  Visser has been a tile-installation professional for more than 40 years and brings a sort of folksy you-can-do-it attitude to his presentation, whis is professional and easy to follow. And unlike a classroom situation, you can watch certain sections over and over.
