Connecting Homeowners Through Shared Experiences
Since starting Sarah's Home Journey in 2009, I've learned that the best home improvement education comes from connecting with others who've walked the same path. Our events bring together homeowners, share real project experiences, and create a supportive community around quality home improvements.
Educational Workshops
Monthly workshops covering everything from understanding window energy ratings to evaluating contractor proposals. Learn from real experiences and ask questions in a friendly, judgment-free environment.
When: Third Saturday monthly, 10am-12pm
Project Showcase Events
Quarterly showcases where homeowners share before-and-after project results, discuss what went well, and candidly review the challenges they encountered. These real stories help others avoid common pitfalls.
When: First Saturday of March, June, September, December
Contractor Meet & Greets
Semi-annual events where quality contractors demonstrate their work, explain their processes, and answer homeowner questions. A no-pressure way to evaluate potential service providers for your projects.
When: April and October annually
Upcoming Events Calendar
Window Energy Efficiency Workshop
Learn how to evaluate window energy ratings, understand U-factors and SHGC values, and calculate potential energy savings for your home. Includes real data from my own window replacement project.
Contractor Evaluation Masterclass
Discover the questions to ask, red flags to watch for, and contract terms that matter when hiring window and door contractors. Based on lessons learned from multiple projects and contractor interactions.
Spring Project Showcase Event
Join fellow homeowners as they present their recent window and door replacement projects. See before-and-after photos, hear honest reviews of contractors, and learn from real experiences—both successes and challenges.
Why I Started These Events
When I began my own window replacement project years ago, I felt overwhelmed and isolated. The information available online was either too technical or too marketing-focused. I wished for a place where homeowners could share honest experiences without sales pressure.
That's why I created these community events. They're designed to fill the gap I experienced—providing practical, honest guidance based on real projects and genuine contractor experiences. No sales pitches, just helpful information from fellow homeowners who've been there.
Our community has grown to include homeowners at every stage of their journey, from research phase to post-project evaluation. Everyone brings valuable perspective that helps others make better decisions.
Virtual Event Series
Can't attend in person? Join our monthly virtual sessions where I share project updates, answer questions live, and connect with homeowners nationwide. Every session is recorded and available to community members.
What Attendees Are Saying
"The workshop on evaluating contractors saved me from making a costly mistake. Sarah's real-world examples and honest contractor reviews gave me confidence to ask the right questions."
"I attended the project showcase not knowing what to expect. Hearing other homeowners share both successes and mistakes made me feel less alone in my confusion. The honest contractor discussions were incredibly valuable."
"These events are refreshingly honest. No sales pressure, just helpful information from people who've actually done the work. The virtual sessions fit perfectly into my schedule."
