Learn About Home Systems From a Licensed Inspector

Brian showing a student how to cut weather strippingBrian Schnee, owner of KL Home Inspection Services has developed a home improvement course “ Home Improvement with TLC” to help you understand more about your home. As a teacher, licensed home inspector and with over twenty years in the commercial construction industry, Brian offers this information to you in order to help you become a more educated homeowner who is capable of performing some of your own home repairs as well as being able to confidently hire the right professional when one is needed.

The classes and workshops have been held at many venues on Long Island.

There are 8 classes and 8 workshops.  The eight classes teach the students how their home works while the 8 DIY Hands-On Workshops reinforce what they have learned in the specific class.

With a target audience of every home seller, homeowner and/or potential homeowner, Brian's classes address real issues in the homes of his audience. His goal with each class is to help students become familiar with the various systems of their home, keep repair costs down, give them the confidence to make certain repairs on their own, and to ensure they can hire the right contractor for repairs that are more than they can handle on their own.
