Nibbi Gave Back on National Rebuilding Day

There’s so much more to a Rebuilding Together project than just construction.

This past spring, Nibbi transformed the Maafu family’s home in East Palo Alto. One of Nibbi’s more significant undertakings for Rebuilding Together, the renovation included the extension and conversion of the garage into living space with a new bathroom.

“We really felt like creating more livable space for the family, given the size of the family and the age of the kids, that they needed a safe, habitable space.” – Mike Nibbi

This touching 4 minute video gives a better sense of the Rebuilding Together experience.
