In November 2023, team members from Wedgewood Homes' Dallas office partnered with Hearts & Hammers, a non-profit home restoration organization serving communities across Minnesota and Texas, to provide essential exterior home improvements for an elderly homeowner couple in need.
The work included exterior repairs, painting, caulking, gutter repair, and landscape renewal — the kind of hands-on labor that makes a real difference for homeowners who can no longer maintain their properties on their own.
Why Hearts & Hammers
Hearts & Hammers is dedicated to assisting low-income homeowners — particularly seniors, disabled individuals, veterans, and their surviving spouses — in maintaining their homes and keeping them in good condition. That mission aligns closely with how Wedgewood Homes shows up in the communities we serve. Revitalizing communities means more than buying and restoring properties. It means showing up for the people who live in them.
David Wehrly, Executive Vice President of Wedgewood, participated in the event alongside the Dallas team and reflected on what the day meant: "We believe that community revitalization extends beyond physical infrastructure; it also involves supporting the people who live there and it fosters a sense of belonging and pride among residents. Our Wedgewood team took great satisfaction in repairing and painting the exterior of the home for this homeowner in need. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Hearts & Hammers in making a positive impact in our communities."
Community Impact as a Core Value
Service days like this one are an expression of something Wedgewood Homes employees carry into their work every day — a belief that being a good neighbor is not just a value statement, it is something you have to earn through action. The Dallas team's partnership with Hearts & Hammers is one example of how that shows up in the communities where we operate.
