NEED A HANDYMAN? IT’S AVENBURY NEIGHBORS TO THE RESCUE!

Our Neighbor Helping Neighbor (NHN) volunteers will provide assistance to Avenbury Lakes residents at no charge, except for the cost of any parts used in a repair. Not all NHN members are able to make all the repairs listed. There will be times when no one is available to do a particular job. If the work requested is something NHN does not do, the resident has the option to call a professional to do the work.
