I am looking for legitimate help for home repairs including pulling up carpet, leaky pipes repair, kitchen sink repair, fence repair, painting, front porch repair, tree trimming, landscaping, and extermination. It's a lot but if anyone can do any of the listed or can recommend anyone affordable because she is on a fixed income, please reply. *Serious Inquiries Only*

Check with city hall, the township office, the senior centers, the county's senior services department, area churches, and the public library that might have a list for this sort of request. Usually there are retired and even employed volunteers in every community.

Therer are also "reverse mortgages" that will provide an elderly person with enough money to make all the repairs and provide extra income.
