Home Maintenance and Minor Repair Services
Owning a home can bring safety, stability, and comfort, but repairs can be costly.
We understand that pulling together the cash for a major repair may not be possible for all homeowners. Our Home Preservation Program makes repairs affordable for low-income homeowners, allowing them to get work done now and pay for it later - sometimes years down the line.

Homeowners are invited to apply for the program and are accepted based on their household income and assessed home value.

Repair services fall under four distinct categories:
- Exterior Repairs (such as roofs and siding)
- Critical Home Repair (such as furnaces and water heaters)
- Weatherization (such as windows and insulation)
- Accessibility (such as ramps, grab bars, and bath modifications)

Minor repairs inside home, minor modifications for those within Omaha city limits. (Anything not structural)

Services may include:
-- Installing handrails, door locks, and wide-range viewers
-- Building wheelchair ramps (depends on slope and grade of property, property lines)
-- Minor plumbing repairs - no electrical services
-- Installing window locks
-- Repairing screen and storm windows and doors
-- Interior painting in winter or during bad weather
-- Minor weather stripping and caulking
-- Changing furnace filter, if filter provided
-- Minor plaster or drywall repair
