Repair: Ruth

An elderly woman, (R.), recently widowed with an overwhelming range of repair needs contacts INHS.  The inspection review by INHS construction managers found problems with the bathrooms, windows, roof, sidewalk, plus heating and electric systems.  The INHS loan managers put together a package that included assistance from four sources to help make her repairs affordable.

"Thank you for working with me to make my house a better home to live in.  It was in poor shape." (R.)

Tom was assigned as project manager and found approved and reliable contractors to make the necessary repairs.  

"Tom did an excellent job of selecting the best people for each job" R. said

Tom managed the project which took about six months.  And at the end she had:

  • new bathroom fixtures 
  • a new roof
  • high performance (efficient) windows
  • health and safety upgrades: smoke and carbon Monoxide alarms, stair handrails, grab bars in the bath area
  • new exterior paint
  • replaced furnace and water heater with high efficiency units
  • new sidewalks and exterior porch rails
 "...My house looks so much better now.  I would recommend all of them [staff and contractors] to anyone. Thanks again.  Big job well done."
