We’re closing our doors on Dec 20, 2026. While we’re sad for this chapter to end, we could not be more grateful for all the years we were able to spend helping Durham DIY. 🫶
In the meantime, we will be offering our regular schedule of home maintenance classes, clinics, and programming with the Durham Public Library. Space is limited, so book early to make sure you have plenty of time to complete the Maintenance Ready Program, prep for your planned renovation, or cash in your gift cards. Click here to view our full schedule of classes and plan your visit to the Lab: https://www.homerepairlab.com/calendar
To our community of home maintenance enthusiasts, we can’t thank you enough for your creativity, tenacity, and willingness to learn. It’s been a privilege to help you get to know your homes and make them your own.
With Love,
Chris + Mindy
The Lab is closing its doors on December 20, 2026, but in between now and then, there’s a lot of DIYing to do!

Got clogs? There are a lot of solutions to out there, but not all of them are great for your plumbing. We recommend starting with the good old drain snake. This method manually breaks up clogs without introducing harsh chemicals into your pipes.
Tool skills are FOREVER 💯 💍💘
Our Tools Not Fools Galentine’s Event on February 13th is an evening of snacks, sips, and homeowner empowerment. Share this with a friend you’d love to build something with and grab your seats before they’re gone: [https://bit.ly/4bIvF4m](https://bit.ly/4bIvF4m?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExdXpndW9hRFN2VXdPQjhBNXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR74D4_uGmqSRDTxkI9fkP1zy1xgKKCX7fXYD111nAfm9BJgusy-rdlkYA8Mog_aem_cF0piNTyY1bM1ktHhekh6g)
Today on Buy, Borrow, or Rent we’re talking collapsible ladders 🪜. If you own your home, at some point, you’re going to need to be tall. This is one we think definitely warrants a permanent spot in the garage.
Don’t let that money-saving DIY turn into an expensive mistake. YouTube tutorials can only offer 2 dimensional instructions that take foundational skills for granted. Before you fire up that cordless drill, come see us at Home Repair Lab. Our hands-on classes take you from the essentials through the applied skills you need to get the job done right — the first time. Your home (and your wallet) will thank you for it.
