Thinking about renovating but unsure where to begin?
HardHat Diplomat’s Renovation Planning Workshop is a one-day session designed to help homeowners understand how to approach remodeling before contracts are signed and demolition begins.
📍 Washington, DC
🗓 Saturday, March 28
Led by board-certified home inspector and renovation coach Erin Helland, the workshop focuses on how to:
• Vet contractors properly
• Review estimates and contracts with clarity
• Align scope, budget, and timeline
• Set expectations and manage communication
• Avoid common and costly renovation mistakes
Whether you’re planning a kitchen or bath, upgrading aging systems, preparing for aging in place, expanding your home, or evaluating a fixer-upper, the core planning principles remain consistent.
This session is hosted with the support of Alison Scimeca of RARE DC at Compass Real Estate and Denny Cruz of AGC Custom Builders.
Since 2019, this workshop has been hosted in more than 20 cities across 12 states. We’re pleased to bring it home to DC once again!
