The Heritage Home Program is available to owners of homes in the City of Oberlin that are more than 50 years old. Specialists working for the Program answer home maintenance and rehab questions and provide an impartial opinion – one that doesn’t include trying to sell a product or service. This advice is absolutely FREE. This component of the Heritage Home Program is what sets it apart from other programs of its kind. Now any homeowner wishing to do work on their older home can have the help and answers they need in order to get the project done properly. We urge you to take advantage of the following FREE services:
• Site visits to answer home repair, improvement and maintenance questions
• Advice about increasing energy efficiency

• Evaluation of contractor bids and estimates
• Historic color consultation and preservation guidance
