Call your county housing authority.
Most counties run programs to repair the properties of low-income/elderly homeowners.
These programs are Federally backed and offered at no cost to the owner.
The only stioulation is, you cannot sell your home within a certain period of time (uusually 5 years) or if you do, you must satisfy a lien placed on your home by the county in the amount of the work that has been done.
This is a feature of the program so that unscrupulous owners don't simply get their homes improved for nothing, then turn around and sell the home for a profit.
After 5 years, your title is free and clear.
Repair work is generally limited to roofs, insulation, windows, doors, and foundations, heating systems....but can include just about anything under the proper circumstances...
The County supplies professional contractors to do the work. Was this post helpful? Yes: or No:
