Your home is one of the most important investments you’ll ever make, and when you complete quality home improvement projects, you’re shoring up that investment. One of the ways to add value to your home is by choosing updates that improve curb appeal.

When selling a home, first impressions are important, so anything you can do to boost curb appeal can help interested buyers put in an offer.

Vinyl siding replacement is one of the best ways to transform the look of your home’s exterior, but quality siding offers other benefits as well, including protecting your home from the elements and improving energy efficiency.

Of course, all replacement siding isn’t created equally, so it’s important to choose local siding installation professionals who use premium materials from trusted brands. Fiber cement siding is an excellent option, but it’s more expensive than vinyl.

The good news is that you can get most of the same benefits from a premium vinyl siding product as you would from fiber cement—but premium is the keyword. Some of those benefits include:

• Siding Styles that Mimic the Look of Hardwood or Slate
• Dozens of Color Options that Won’t Fade Over Time
• An Attractive Low-Gloss Finish
• Fire Resistance
• Mold Resistance
• Insulated Options that Improve Energy Efficiency

Lower-end vinyl siding doesn’t offer the same rich look as high-quality brands, and it’s much more likely to suffer damage and to fade over time. Top-rated siding products, however, will provide many years of low-maintenance performance.

In addition to vinyl siding installation, replacement windows and doors are other home upgrades that add value to your Richmond property.

As a participant-builder of the CASA playhouses, Classic Construction is happy to see the wonderful initial turnout at the second annual CASA Home For Good Event.

Through May 8, donations are being accepted for a chance to win of the Five 2022 CASA Playhouses. Be sure to visit and learn about all the sponsors and participants in the 2022 event – and enter to win!

Coming this spring is the second annual CASA Home for Good Event. This event partners with local builders who are well-versed in designing and constructing homes to put their expertise to use in a fun and meaningful way – creating playhouses to bring awareness and funding for CASA’s children’s support services.

The Home For Good Event

For the second year running, CASA’s Home For Good Event, with its beautiful playhouses that resonate childhood fun and innocence, provide a tangible demonstration of what childhood should be, as a backdrop for the fundraising event.

This spring, from April 22 to May 8, 2022, the playhouses will be on display at the Short Pump Town Center for public viewing. As part of the event donations will be graciously accepted, with the donors also being entered into the raffle to win these playhouses. Each playhouse will be delivered to a lucky winner’s home, with the drawing to be held after the close of the event in May.

Last year, $80,000 was raised for CASA, with the event being supported by local businesses and public donations. Sponsorship information is available at www.henricocasa.org/HomeForGood/.

About CASA

Virginia’s local Henrico Court Appointed Special Advocate program (CASA) is a Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services child advocacy organization with the mission of providing trained volunteers to speak for local children who are had been abused or neglected and are subjects of juvenile court proceedings.

CASA has served more than 3,750 children in the Henrico Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, and that number continues to grow, with the Home For Good event helping to fund the court advocacy program and activities to aide children with the legal services they need.

Classic Construction’s Playhouse

As a local small business with longstanding roots in the community, Classic Construction is proud to have been selected as one of the participating builders for this important event. Our home remodeling experts look forward to designing and building a playhouse for this event – to help bring awareness to the cause and the organization, while also helping to support the mission with the fundraising effort.

Last year we were delighted to participate and were overjoyed with the response it had achieved from our community. With the response from last year’s playhouses, we expect the success of this year’s event to be even greater.

Since 2001, Classic Construction has done business The Classic Way, and that includes finding ways to give back to the communities we serve. That’s why our team was proud to take part in this year’s “Home for Good” fundraising effort for Henrico CASA (Court-Appointed Special Advocate), a nonprofit organization that helps abused and neglected children by advocating for them during their appearances in Henrico County Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court.

We were excited to be one of the three local building companies to donate a beautiful, custom-designed, and professionally crafted playhouse, which was then given away through a random drawing. The cost of each chance in the drawing was a $5 donation.

The Classic Construction house, called Meadow View, featured a small porch, cedar siding, plexiglass windows, and stylish light fixture mounted on the front of the little home. Our team had a great time designing and building the playhouse, and we hope to take part in the 2022 event as well.

Who the Charity Helped

Henrico CASA is a non-profit group that advocates for some of the most vulnerable among us: abused and neglected children. These children often do not have their own voice in court, so the court-appointed special advocate works on their behalf to help ensure they enter and remain in homes where they will be safe and loved.

The entire Classic Construction team was thrilled to put our skills to work for such an important cause.
