Home Repair Projects

Habitat's home repair program for low-income homeowners gives folks an opportunity to get much-needed work done affordably.  Program participants would not qualify for traditional lending due to limited income, but Habitat offers no money down and 0% interest financing on a short-term loan.  Monthly payments may be as low as $25/month depending on the scope of work.  Below are some of the projects we have completed.

Habitat helped Carl Bowers, a man known for taking care of his yard and that of his neighbors. With limited ability and limited income, he welcomed Habitat's support in the form of prepping and painting his home (following Lead Safe work practices) and doing a myriad of repair work including fixing broken window panes, re-glazing windows, repairing window sills, installing storm windows, and more.  See pictures of this project.

Volunteers and staff helped Inez Whitson, an elderly woman whose house was in need of exterior cleaning and painting. They power washed the house with detergent/bleach to remove mold, scraped all loose paint, and prepped the surface.  After caulking and priming, they painted the house with quality exterior enamel.  The crews also replaced gutters, repaired rotten wood window sills, re-glazed windows and installed a moisture barrier in the crawl space.  To photos, click here.

A sharp, independent 84-year old woman, Dorothea Snyder welcomed Habitat crews who installed all new siding and then painted the home's entire exterior, and did a few odds & ends repair jobs.  Follow us on facebook to see pictures of this project and other Habitat happenings.

Patricia and Harold McCurry loved hosting Habitat volunteers!  The crews prepped and painted the home's exterior, following Lead Safe work practices. In addition, the following work was performed: repaired broken storm window panes and screens, repaired and re-glazed windows, replaced rotten wood, added railings to front porch stairs, and more.

Ingrid Swayngim is a single woman in her mid 30’s who is physically disabled. She relies heavily upon friends, family, neighbors and a home health worker. Habitat built her a ramp, replaced her front porch roof, and repaired her steps and decking.  She and those who help her are now able to more easily and safely access her home.  To see photos, click here.
