SAFETY  HOME INSPECTION
State program to assist homeowners in learning how they can harden their homes to minimize storm damage; grant programs are also available.

Wow - we learned about having an inspection while we were in NH this summer.  Didn't know about the free deal, which is great, but we saved $1030 in rebate and didn't have to get forms or submit them, etc., so I guess it was worth the $150.  Nokomis Resident Comment
