Expanding upon DIY-University (DIY-U) by
Lowe's, Home Repair Workshops launch at select stores nationwide
with hands-on support from helpful Lowe's red vest
associates
MOORESVILLE, N.C., Nov. 10,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Lowe's today announced the debut
of Home Repair Workshops, where knowledgeable Lowe's red vest
associates teach customers basic home repair and maintenance DIY
skills through live, interactive workshops. As more millennial
homeowners look for ways to save money on home repairs, Lowe's Home
Repair Workshops provide the support and knowledge they need to
maintain and update their homes themselves rather than outsourcing
to a professional.
Beginning Saturday, Nov. 11, Home
Repair Workshops will be hosted in 100 stores across the U.S. on
Saturdays and Sundays, offering DIYers and homeowners the
opportunity to develop their home repair skills and tackle common
household projects with confidence and efficacy. Participating
Lowe's stores will have stations dedicated to workshops, with
quick, hands-on demos available all day during normal store
operating hours, no registration required.
Customers will experience a hands-on approach to learning common
home repair tasks, including:
- How to Repair, Replace or Unclog a Toilet
- How to Replace a Faucet and Fix Drainage Issues
- How to Replace Different Types of Outlets and Switches
- How to Patch and Repair Drywall
With the median age of homes over 41 years old*, homeowners are
prioritizing projects like repairs and regular maintenance to
update their homes and extend the time they will live there, while
also helping to avoid costly repairs down the road. Lowe's red vest
associates offer a wealth of knowledge and resources for customers
looking to take on these projects themselves, from providing
demonstrations, project tips and tricks, and product
recommendations.
"We know millennial homeowners can use some extra help when it
comes to tackling basic home repairs, especially since more basic
projects can help them save money versus hiring a professional for
the project. These Home Repair Workshops are just one way Lowe's is
investing in this generation of homeowners," said Jen Wilson, Lowe's senior vice president,
enterprise brand and marketing. "We are proud to be their trusted
resource, not only offering the tools they need, but empowering
them with the skills and confidence to take repair projects on
themselves for less."
MyLowe's customers who participate in an in-store workshop can
also receive a digital coupon book to help them save on common
repair products, corresponding with the workshop topic they
attended**. Coupon promotions available to workshop participants
