we can repair your home

Through our Disaster Home Repair program, Houston Habitat is repairing homes damaged by Hurricane Beryl and other disasters for low-income homeowners. By providing the repairs necessary to make homes safe, sanitary, and secure, including mold testing and remediation, we help preserve Houston’s dwindling stock of affordable housing and help existing homeowners remain in their homes and rebuild their lives.

L.D. | 2024 Home Repair Recipient

“I would like to thank Houston Habitat for Humanity for the roof work. It was at a time that my husband died of COVID and my budget/income had been cut in half. My roof was leaking on the inside attic and if an-other storm would come I would have been washed out. God bless each of you for your hard work and care. The worker was very nice and did a beautiful job.”

Mario & Jennifer | 2024 Home Repair Recipient

“The weight of the damaged roof had been a constant source of worry, and I often wondered how or when we would find the means to replace it. Thanks to your organization’s kindness and generosity, that burden has been lifted. Seeing the quality of work and materials, as well as the professionalism of your team, has been truly humbling. It’s incredible that they completed the job so efficiently, in just one day, without compromising on excellence.

As a husband, father, and homeowner, knowing that my wife, Jennifer, and our two boys, Orion and Phoenix, now have a secure roof over their heads has brought a profound sense of relief and joy to our lives. This is more than a repaired roof-it is a symbol of hope and community spirit that we will never forget.”

Barbara | 2024 Home Repair Recipient

“Thank you all for installing a new roof. I do not know what I would have done without your generous support. I am 83, on a fixed income, and I financially support and co-parent my youngest granddaughter, who suffers from a mental disability.

I am especially impressed with how quickly Habitat for Humanity worked. From Pedro Gonzalez’s initial contact to initial inspection, to old roof removal. The crew you all sent was also top of the line. They worked solidly through the first day. They laid down plastic to catch small waste, they organized their supplies and materials, they asked permission to plug in any equipment, they tore down the old roof, made substantial progress on the new roof, and cleaned up after themselves the first day. Day tw,o they were in and out before I knew it. They were so professional, quick, and clean; if I had not witnessed it myself, it would be hard to believe they were ever here. The only evidence they left behind was my new roof.

From beginning to end, your team operated with care and kindness. Thanks to you all, I have a new “worry free” roof. Please convey my sincere thank you to all of the good people who came together to make this happen for me and who work tirelessly and who support generously to help people like me.”
