"I had 4 classes with this team and I highly recommend it if you are a first timer or need more confidence in your DIY projects. Even if you want to supervise your contractor’s job and make sure you don’t get bad results, you will learn a lot here. The facility has all the tools you need and the variety of the classes is enough to satisfy you. Enrollment was painless, price was fair and customer service was perfect. What else do you need? :D"
