When Susan Bennett called the The Ohio Masonic Communities Resource Center, she was looking for a referral. She needed someone who could help them with some minor home repairs. Someone had been hired to fix the railing on their porch. However, once paid, the handyman left – never to return or be heard from again. It left the porch railing wobbly and only half finished, a stack of lumber, and a front door that wouldn’t lock.
Upon calling The Ohio Masonic Communities Resource Center, we were able to reach out to our volunteer chairman in the 21st Masonic District. Brother Rick Miller of William H. Hoover Lodge answered the call. Without hesitation, Rick said that Brother Christian Vallance with Vallance Construction was the man to help us out. Upon following up with Susan, she stated that she was so happy with the services provided. Their porch had been unsafe for over 2 years. Within 1 ½ days, the project was completed. Vallance Construction readjusted her storm door, down spouts, and fixed the railing. They cleaned up the old pile of lumber, and she’s now able to lock her door! Susan said she was tickled pink. They did beautiful work.
Susan’s husband, Fred, of Clinton Lodge, passed away earlier this spring. She said he would be so glad to know that the project had been finished. “He would have really loved it and enjoyed it.” Susan said she knows he’s looking down on it from heaven.
