The Whole Home Repair program would not be possible without the dedicated work of our local contractors.
For this 1st home, JD Builder LLC replaced the shingle roof & skylight window, replaced the A/C System, cut down a large pine tree in front yard with stump removal, & replaced 2 exhaust fans in the bathrooms.
C&J Roofing made the repairs on the 2nd home. They installed a new vinyl railing for the front porch, installed a new basement door, a new rear storm door & handrail, and completed HVAC duct cleaning & plumbing upgrades in basement.

The contractor was also able to do some painting and replaced flooring in the new laundry area, plumbing and electrical upgrades, and installed a French drain at the rear corner of the home to direct water away from the foundation.
