Looking out from the living room window of Mrs. Bright’s home you can see the tops of the Downtown skyscrapers – but looking in you’ll see that her well-kept home is starting to show the signs of deferred maintenance. A typical home for the neighborhood, the two-story house was hastily built in the days of the Southside Steel Industry.
Repairs Completed for Mrs. Bright:
- Replacement of damaged drywall in two bedrooms
- Removal of clutter from the basement
- New downspouts
- Moisture resistant Drylock in the basement
- Fresh paint throughout
- New carpeting on the second floor to prevent tripping
