The Fayette County Repair Affair took place May 12th and 13th. The Repair Affair is the largest of the annual projects done by the Realtor Community Housing Foundation of the Lexington Bluegrass Association of Realtors. The project is done in partnership with the Remodeler’s Council of the Homebuilder’s Association of Lexington.

The Repair Affair provide exterior home repairs for low-income elderly homeowners. Approximately 200 volunteers participate in repair affair and 15-20 houses are repaired during the project.
Milestone Realty Consultants and Walden Mortgage Group sponsored one of the homes to be repaired. The team captains were Todd Back of Milestone and Jeff Sharp of Walden Mortgage. They were great organizers and coordinators for the project. The main scope of this Lexington home was scraping, painting, yard work, window repair and cleaning debris.
It is great to know you are helping someone that would not be able to afford to hire someone to do the repairs. While most of the volunteers are not skilled laborers, the Remodeler’s Council assigns a skilled Remodeler to oversee and do the work that requires expertise. It is a great two days of working together as a team and getting to spend time with your fellow agents. There is a lot of laughter and fun times while giving back to the community.
