Ms. S has lived in her Garner home for more than 17 years. Over time, her gutters and downspouts had deteriorated, and her back deck needed significant structural repairs.

With support from the Town of Garner, NC Government, we were able to make these repairs, protecting her home from water damage and making her outdoor space safer and more secure.

We’re grateful to all our community partners who make it possible to preserve homes, strengthen neighborhoods, and help longtime homeowners remain safely in the homes they love. ❤️

New windows can make a big difference! They keep a home more comfortable year-round, improve energy efficiency, prevent drafts, and reduce pests. Plus, they provide a clearer view!

Mrs. R's home needed critical plumbing, electrical, and structural repairs. Although extensive water damage should have been covered by insurance, the deductible was more than she could afford.

Thanks to our partnership with the Town of Wake Forest, NC, we were able to make the repairs she needed, transforming her home into a safer, healthier place to live.

What's beneath the shingles matters just as much as the shingles themselves.

During this roof replacement, our team discovered damaged roof decking that had to be replaced before the new roofing could be installed. It's a reminder that quality home repairs often involve addressing issues that aren't visible from the outside.

By tackling both the obvious and the hidden problems, we help neighbors stay safe, dry, and in the homes they cherish. That's what is all about.

For more than 60 years, Janie's Cary home has been part of her family's story. It has been a place of comfort, cherished memories, and love.

When Janie contacted us in need of repairs, we were honored to help by installing handrails for her front steps, replacing her water heater, installing new energy-efficient windows, and updating the flooring in her kitchen and laundry areas.

Receiving Janie's heartfelt thank-you card made us smile. “Your team eases the minds of so many senior citizens,” she wrote, “most definitely including me!”

We're grateful to Duke Energy and to the Town of Cary, NC for partnering with us to make projects—and moments—like this possible!

Since moving into her Apex home nearly 30 years ago, Ms. M has welcomed family members through its doors whenever they needed a safe place to land and get back on their feet. Over the decades, her home has provided stability, comfort, and support for multiple generations.

Like many homes that have been well loved for years, though, it was starting to show its age.

Recently, Preserving Home was honored to help ensure Ms. M with repairs and modifications for safety, health, and accessibility. In partnership with the Town of Apex Government, we completed critical roofing, electrical, and weatherization improvements, along with accessibility upgrades including new vinyl plank flooring, safe exterior steps, and sturdy handrails.

These repairs do more than improve a house; they preserve a home filled with memories--one that continues to provide comfort, security, and independence for the people who call it home.

Thank you to the program for making this project possible and for investing in longtime Apex homeowners like Ms. M.
