Join educator, author, consumer advocate, and construction consultant, Richard Connolly, for a fun, interactive, and informative class that removes the guesswork from renovations.

This six-week, adult education course provides homeowners a roadmap to research and plan their remodeling projects from concept through completion. It includes several presentations by subject experts, a survey of materials and products and their impact on labor, a case study, and an analysis of comprehensive, detailed labor and material specifications as a means of obtaining competitive bids, controlling costs, and establishing performance-based payments.

The program emphasizes relationship-building over construction and the importance of developing an effective network that meets or exceeds your expectations for quality, price, and performance. This is the 3rd run of this very popular and well-received workshop. Here are some comments by previous attendees:

Thank you for all the hard work in putting together a wonderful class. I learned a ton  and greatly appreciated it.

I love your class! It was incredibly helpful. I understand nuances that I didn't even think about before. I'm not afraid of doing my project.

What I have gotten from this class is so much more than I expected. Your knowledge is priceless, and the guest speakers were wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing your home pictures and projects with us. It made the class so special.

I have had an opportunity to learn a lot about paying attention to little details while considering remodeling. I have also had an opportunity to know what to look for when dealing with contractors. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. It has opened my eyes about much more than I expected.

Registration is required. Please be available for all 6 classes to be held on 3/18, 3/25, 4/1, 4/8, 4/22, 4/29.
