FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — If you’ve ever wished your home came with a maintenance manual, you’re not alone.<\/p>\n
“When you’re first buying a house, you don’t know what to look for as far as the structure of the house, the repairs that are going to come in the future,” says Fabian Molina, co-founder of the DIY Resource Center.<\/p>\n
“To be able to give people the confidence to be able to do the DIY projects themselves,” says James Dominguez, co-founder of the DIY Resource Center.<\/p>\n
Located on Tulare and U streets in Downtown Fresno, the DIY Resource Center is helping you with your home improvements so you can protect your investments.<\/p>\n
“A lot of the classes we’re going to offer will give people information about small repairs that they can do themselves that will save them a lot of money,” Molina said.<\/p>\n
Classes will cover topics ranging from plumbing and electrical to shelf mounting and custom cabinetry at all skill levels.<\/p>\n
“One of our first classes we’re going to offer is the first-time home owners guide, and we’re going to offer an introduction to power tools,” Molina said.<\/p>\n
Molina says the DIY Resource Center is a dream 10 years in the making.<\/p>\n
“Over the years working in the industry, I’ve met a lot of clients and a lot of people who have expressed that they wish there was a place that could help with those things around the house,” she said.<\/p>\n
Not sure what’s behind the walls of your home? Here, you can avoid costly repairs for what should be a simple fix.<\/p>\n
“We’re also going to do advising and consulting services for homeowners that are looking to do major renovations,” Molina said. “We’re going to be able to sit down with them, do a plan for them, a budget and explain to them the permitting process and what they have to do to get that started.”<\/p>\n
Renovating the bathroom? Class goes beyond replacing showerheads — how to demo, how to waterproof, even how to pick the right material for your walls are covered.<\/p>\n
“Not only are you going to save money, not only are you going to look at something and say, ‘Hey, I did that.’ You’re going to have a sense of pride, and not only that, when you take a class, it’s a lifetime skill,” Dominguez said.<\/p>\n
