Why It’s Worth It

• A plumber can charge $150–$400 for a single faucet swap, & electricians charge $150–$300 to replace an outlet or fixture — upgrading just a few of these in your home  already covers your tuition.
   

• Drywall repairs average $300–$1,000 depending on size. After this workshop, you’ll never need to hire out for small wall damage again.
   

• Precision painting alone can save $500–$2,000 on a room refresh.
   

• Learning how to confidently hire contractors and avoid being overcharged can save you thousands on future projects.

​

• Students leave with confidence in project management, plumbing, electrical, drywall, epoxy, and painting — the skills that save homeowners the most.

​

• Most importantly, you’ll be learning in a space built to welcome and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community — no barriers, no judgment, just skills and support.
