Rebuilding Together’s core home-repair work varies according to the needs of the homeowner and the condition of the home. We can provide home modifications to help seniors age in place. This might include grab bars, tub or shower seats, raised toilets, additional hand rails, fall prevention modifications, wheelchair ramps, widened doorways, lever handles and more. With our partners from Electricians Local 164, we repair and upgrade electrical work and install smoke- and carbon monoxide detectors where needed. Using skilled plumbers and carpenters, we can tackle critical plumbing and building issues. Through our fire-safety program we provide and install smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, as needed for seniors and others unable to do this on their own. We also provide fire-safety education for individual homeowners and for groups. Our asthma-reduction and education efforts help remove allergens and help families understand the causes of asthma and allergy-related illnesses. Our energy-efficiency and weatherization modifications help homeowners save money on utility bills while keeping their homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
