The mission of the Mr. Fix-It Program is to enable older people in Southern Maine to maintain their homes so they may remain secure and independent. Mr. Fix-It is a Minor Home Repair and Maintenance service for people age 60 and over in York and Cumberland counties. The Program recruits volunteers to provide home chores or repairs, or referrals to professional trades people for more extensive repair work.
Volunteers can also help with certain small appliance repair needs.
Repairs will be provided to homes owned by seniors or to personal property of renters, but services will not be provided to renters dwellings, which are the responsibility of the landlord. All Program services are provided by carefully screened volunteers of Southern Maine Agency on Aging. Services for minor home repair and maintenance are provided without labor charges, whenever qualified volunteers are available. Low-income seniors may apply for help in paying for the cost of materials. Referrals to contractors will be provided when Mr. Fix-It volunteers are not available to provide the requested service, or when the job required is beyond the scope of the program.
