HouseProud Impact

This wheelchair ramp was dangerously steep, completely rotted and unusable.  A determined group of 20+ skilled volunteers, followed by a few smaller groups to follow up, tore out the entire ramp and replaced it.

The deck and adjoining wheelchair ramp of this 74 year old Mechanicsville resident were badly damaged after a tree fell on them last summer.  A group of weekday volunteers tore out the damaged wood and installed much-needed handrails.

This home in Pittsburgh was in dire need of a new coat of paint.  Much of the siding on the house was without paint and needed to be protected by a new coat of primer. A group of 14 volunteers replaced rotted siding where needed and gave the house a new coat of paint.

The wood siding on this home was left bare and without paint, after the aluminum siding was stolen for scrap while the homeowner was in the hospital.  Volunteer groups primed and painted the house to protect it from decay.  The picture on the right shows the homeowner standing in front of her home one year later.
