Portland, OR, Remodelors™ Council Helps Disabled Sheriff

The council has been working this month with John Ruppert of Denali Construction. Ruppert, a long-time friend of Coates, has been leading the project.

The local Remodelors™ council became involved in the project after learning from one of its members that while the sergeant’s medical costs were being covered, he still needed help with work on his home.

“The response to our requests by the members of the HBA has been absolutely overwhelming,” said Tracy Hankins of Hankins Construction, chairman of the Portland Remodelors™ council.

Contributions of materials and remodeling work included: 1,200-1,300 square feet of drywall that was hung, taped and textured; exterior and interior paint; 350 feet of 2.25 colonial casing and base; tile work involved in making the bathroom accessible; 200 square feet of red oak flooring installed and stained to match existing hardwood in the kitchen and dining area; and new windows throughout the house.

In addition, extensive dry-rot repair was completed and a wheelchair ramp was installed.
