Create Your Ideal Home

Welcome to HardHat Diplomat Workshops

We understand the anxieties and complexities of home improvement. HardHat Diplomat™ workshops are designed to empower homeowners by providing the skills and confidence needed to transform your living space. While our mission was inspired to support women homeowners, our classes are gender-inclusive, ensuring practical learning and meaningful connections for everyone.

Beyond simple how-tos, our workshops offer a collaborative environment for real-world application. Led by Erin Helland, founder of HardHat Diplomat and your renovation advocate, these sessions draw on extensive experience to teach effective home improvement management and decision-making.
