Home Repair Programs

Home maintenance can be a formidable responsibility of homeownership. Many obstacles can get in the way of our intentions of making improvements to our homes—lack of know-how, lack of time, lack of savings, and all too frequently, not having a qualified contractor that you can trust. NHP understands that homeowners may need help with repairs and improvements. NHP also understands that well maintained homes are vital for healthy neighborhoods.
