Homeowner Resources
Tool Voucher Program
To offset the costs of do-it-yourself home improvement projects, NRRC is providing property owners an opportunity to use tool rental vouchers for home improvement projects.
All homeowners within the NRRC Zone are eligible. Tools may only be used for home improvements, not maintenance. For example, you may not rent a snow blower or lawn mower. Homeowners may use up to $250 per year in tool rental vouchers. Tools may only be used at the property the resident occupies. Tool vouchers will be available on a first come, first served basis.
To rent tools, fill out the Tool Voucher Form and submit it to NRRC. We will return approved vouchers to you. Redeem vouchers at North End Hardware and Rental; bring your approved voucher and your ID.
Home Improvement Loans
