Home Repair Program
Serving the Community
Our Home Repair Program provides tailored solutions for cost-burdened families, veterans, and seniors throughout El Paso County, ensuring safe and affordable housing remains accessible to those who need it most. Through strategic partnerships with trusted local organizations, we maximize efficiency while minimizing costs for homeowners requiring critical repairs.
By leveraging existing community resources, we create customized approaches that respect each homeowner’s unique situation while maintaining the highest standards of quality and reliability.
Volunteer Testimonial
“As a retired contractor, volunteering with Pikes Peak Habitat’s weatherization program allows me to share my professional knowledge where it’s truly needed. Seeing the immediate impact of reduced utility bills for fixed-income seniors isn’t just satisfying—it’s a reliable way to strengthen our community one home at a time.”
Aging-in-Place Home Repair
Improving Senior Living
Aging-in-place projects serve low-income seniors to improve home safety and accessibility. In 2022, we partnered with Silver Key Senior Services in an initiative called the Senior Modification Program. This program is made possible in part with generous funding through the Myron Stratton Foundation.
Our skilled team of professionals and volunteers specializes in customized modifications, including grab bar installations, wheelchair ramp construction, and small home adaptations that allow seniors to maintain their independence with dignity.
Aging-in-Place Testimonial
“The people who came were great! I enjoyed talking with them, and I learned a great deal. They worked very hard, and the job was completed with great craftsmanship. This was such a positive experience. I hope you can continue to help seniors stay in their homes and keep them safe.”
Critical Home Repair
Essential Home Updates
Critical Home Repair projects address safety, health, accessibility concerns, as well as state and local code violations. Repairs have included doorway modifications for wheelchairs, siding, concrete, ramps, railings, gutters, porches and decks, windows and doors, roofing, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and tub conversions.
Our construction and repair team conducts thorough assessments to identify the most pressing structural and functional needs, developing tailored solutions to maximize impact.
Each repair is completed to professional standards, ensuring long-term reliability and providing homeowners with the knowledge they need to maintain their improved living environment.
Critical Repair Recipient Testimonial
“I had a catastrophic plumbing failure for which I could not afford the repairs. Habitat worked quickly with me and the repair company to get it fixed and return my home to working order in just a couple of days.”
Home Preservation
Restoring Peace of Mind
Home Preservation focuses on long-term safety and home protection, including projects such as painting, patching, minor repair, landscaping, siding repair, yard cleanup, and sidewalks. Weatherization focuses on improving energy efficiency and indoor air quality, including projects like weather stripping, insulation, ventilation, and window and door replacement.
These home preservation services help homeowners maintain the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of their properties while preventing damage before it occurs. Our weatherization solutions demonstrate our commitment to providing affordable, sustainable housing solutions for our community members.
