You sir, have two of the greatest assets in human history, cheap books on Amazon, and the second is YouTube.
Almost anything you have ever wanted to repair is detailed on YouTube. If you watch ten or twenty videos on a topic, it will give you a pretty good idea on how to tackle it yourself. It's an amazing resource.
Plus, if you hire any repairman who comes to your house, you'll learn a lot just by watching. Don't talk to him any more than you have to or you might annoy him, just ask a very few well thought out questions and you'll be amazed at the knowledge they'll share.

There may be others that are better suited to what you're after, but really, not much has changed in construction (outside of code related stuff for electrical, stud spacing, water, etc). Between that and a childhood of living under construction, I can do many things, and I know well enough when to call someone and just pay for it.
