Investing into our Neighborhood

Over the past 25 years, Homestead Repair & Renovation, in conjunction with HoganWillig, Attorneys at Law, has invested over $1,000,000 into revitalizing communities through renovating and repairing homes in neighborhoods where affordable, quality housing is needed.

We are committed to our community by producing, preserving and advocating for affordable, quality rental properties - because homes and families are the foundation of successful communities. In turn, we hope to engage a neighborhood into being proud of their surroundings and fellow property owners to follow in our footsteps towards rebuilding a community where property values and the quality of life for those who live there continue to improve.

In the past several years, Homestead and HoganWillig have made significant repairs and renovations to numerous properties located throughout the City of Buffalo. Many of which have become the hallmark of their respective neighborhoods.

In 2009, Homestead and HoganWillig partnered to complete a full renovation of a four unit apartment building on Oliver Street in North Tonawanda. The property received a lot of attention from the Mayor of North Tonawanda and a story on the renovation was featured in the Tonawanda News.

Homestead and HoganWillig also completed the renovation of a single family home on Rochester Road in Gasport, New York. The team completely gutted the previously vacant home and made significant renovations, including a large addition, vaulted ceilings, fully updated kitchen and bathrooms and much more.

Most recently, the team has engaged in renovations of a vacant property on Willow Avenue in Niagara Falls and large single family home on Main Street in Buffalo near Sister's Hospital. The Niagara Falls project will partner with Center City Neighborhood Development Corporation to complete the renovation in early 2011.
