Home Improvement Courses

[Emmett Kelly]

Hello,

Does anyone recommend any home improvement courses in California? I was looking into taking some general contractor or construction courses so that I can do more myself with my properties.

How have people had success in the past learning home improvement skills? I didn’t grow up working with my hands much but I want to learn. Has anyone else went through anything similar and have some advice to share?

I don't know of any. Everything is available now on YT.....you can take Home Depot seminars, and just offer to help friends and neighbors that do know what they are doing....

YouTube University :)

Check out Jeff Thorman from Home Renovision DIY. He has hundreds of hours of really good content on YouTube.

Hey  @Emmett Kelly! 

If you really want to learn about home improvement I would recommend getting the home improvement 1-2-3 textbook from home depot which goes into depth on teaching you how to install and do maintenance on your property overall from beginner-advanced. 

Here is the link to it: https://www.amazon.com/Home-Im...

Hope this helps, please let me know if you ever have any other questions!

You can learn a ton on Youtube and obviously practice in your house. Another way would be to work for a local contractor.
