My Nonprofit Reviews

Wind catches the old door Sunday morning, glass all over the place,...call Umbrella.

Thermostat dies Saturday of holiday weekend heat wave...call Umbrella, troubleshoot by phone, then call suggested repair service. (Weekend rate, but worth it for three days of comfort.)

I try not to call on weekends when the office is closed, but it's comforting to know they will try to help if we're stuck.

As we moved on in years Umbrella has been there with handypersons and professionals to help with chores we used to do ourselves: build hand rails to basement and garage steps, install cat door, service and use lawn mower and snowblower, replace crumbling drain pipe and 50-year-old shut-offs, update electric outlets, rebuild inside of toilet tank, change ceiling light bulbs, troubleshoot roof exhaust fan, help with major yard cleanup spring and fall, for the mental health of this 24/7 caregiver fence in the vegetable garden, and much more. All this with simple phone calls and email to Umbrella.

Umbrella makes us comfortable in this house we like, that the "man of the house" adapted to our unique needs and interests throughout his younger years. Now he contentedly snuggles with a cat. Please support Great Nonprofit Umbrella of the Capital District, and volunteer if you can. We need you.
