Regular, proactive home maintenance inside and out helps preserve your home’s value and is a necessary part of providing a safe, secure, and comfortable shelter. When funds are low, small repairs might be put off, but a relatively minor repair left unattended can deteriorate into a major one.
Our instructors are eager to share what they know to help you identify, repair, and prevent problem little issues from becoming more serious.
Topics are offered on a rotating basis, allowing participants the opportunity to choose workshops that meet their needs. Whether you want to understand the basics of how your heating or plumbing system works, or get some practical information on how to tackle basic light fixture repairs, or learn how to add value to your home with energy savings or cosmetic improvements, we have a class for you.
We are currently offering free, virtual online workshops. Click here for the schedule of live interactive offerings and additional updates. Live Videos and a library of past workshops can be viewed on the Community Homeworks YouTube Channel or Facebook page.
Many workshops are hands-on, using a variety of props: power tools, hand tools, sink and vanity, toilet, water heater, furnace, windows, door, electrical outlets, faucets, paint and painting tools, drywall, lawnmower, and more. Handouts are provided. Advance registration is encouraged to ensure we have enough materials and can contact you in the event a workshop is cancelled.
Community Homeworks offers workshops designed to help you maintain and repair your home, increase safety and comfort, and save money – you can always see what workshops are coming up here.
