Affordable Home Repairs & Renovation Resources- [Re]build and [Re]claim Preventative Maintenance In-Person Workshop
Your home didn't come with a user manual ... until now.
Nearly 60% of homeowners postpone repairs because of cost, and 1 in 5 who try DIY fixes end up making the problem worse.
Nail down your spot at [Re]build & [Re]claim, a hands-on workshop that takes the guesswork out of preventative home maintenance. You’ll learn what most people discover the hard (and expensive) way.
Spot problems early
Handle simple repairs yourself
Prevent small issues from becoming costly damage.
You’ll also practice seasonal upkeep, energy-saving improvements, and practical DIY fixes built on the 11 Principles of a Healthy Home and our 25 Safe and Healthy Priorities.
By the end, you’ll know how to protect your home’s value, stay ahead of repairs, and reclaim the peace of mind that makes homeownership feel rewarding again. Think of it as a little R&R for your home.
