The Housing & Neighborhood Development Department accepts general contractors and skilled tradesmen to participate in various single-family rehabilitation projects through the Rehabilitation and Lead-Safe Housing programs.

Potential contractors are required to have previous experience in major structural repairs on existing structures and be a licensed Lead Abatement Firm with certified/licensed staff. Contractors are also required to maintain a good credit record. If any judgments are executed or liens filed against you, you must notify the City's Housing and Repair Coordinator at 336-373-2661.

Contractors must have general liability insurance equal to or exceeding Housing & Neighborhood Development's minimum requirements. Insurance coverage must be continuous and the department must be notified of any changes.

Current minimum level of insurance required:

• Worker's Compensation Insurance for all employees and subcontractors, in accordance with state Worker's Compensation Laws.
• Comprehensive General Liability coverage of $1 million per occurrence; Bodily Injury Liability of $500,000 per occurrence; and Property Damage Liability of $500,000 per occurrence.

Rehabilitation contracts will be awarded through a public procurement process in which a bid request will be sent to registered contractors.
