Things to Look for When Hiring Richmond Siding Installers

Posted on
Beautiful Home Siding

New siding should improve the appearance and protection of your home. However, low-quality siding installation can leave you worse off than you were before. Cracked, warped, or rotted siding, mildew and mold, water damage, and higher energy costs are just some of the travesties of a bad siding replacement.

How do you know if you’re hiring Richmond siding installers that you can trust?

We are so glad that you asked! Below are some simple yet important things to keep in mind before hiring local siding installers.

High-Quality Siding Products

A reputable siding company will only work with quality materials. How do you know if the siding products being used are up to par? Here are some features to look for:

  • Durability: Look for siding with a proven reputation for resistance to weather damage, high winds, rot, and pests.
  • Energy-Efficiency: Today’s siding should be made with energy-efficiency in mind; look for products that mention energy-saving features.
  • Low-Maintenance: You don’t want to invest in a siding that is difficult to maintain. There are some siding options available that require little to no maintenance.
  • Reliable Brand Names: One quick way to make sure that your siding installers are offering quality products is to look for tried and true brands like James Hardie Siding.

A Variety of Siding Styles

This might go without saying, but you want your home to look great after having new siding installed. Check to see if your siding installer offers a variety of siding materials, colors, and patterns to make sure that you’re getting the siding type and style that’s right for you. Some siding installers even offer no-obligation consultations and free estimates. Bonus!

Qualified, Local Siding Installers

Last but certainly not least, it’s important that the contractors handling your siding installation are fully qualified for the job. Here are some accolades to look for when comparing local Richmond siding installers:

  • BBB-Accreditation
  • Customer Service Awards
  • Positive Customer Reviews
  • Years of Experience

Replacement Vinyl Siding for Spring Installation

Posted on
vinyl siding installation

When spring arrives and the weather starts to warm back up down, many homeowners begin considering their home’s exterior. Along with your home’s roofing, windows and doors, your siding is an important to keep maintained and updated.

At Classic Construction, our Richmond siding contractors are always ready to help homeowners reinforce or replace faulty siding with strong and durable vinyl products designed to make homes stronger, better insulated and more beautiful at any time of the year.

Vinyl Siding: Richmond’s Ideal Material for Spring Installation

Siding is an important home feature that protects the home’s exterior. With winter quickly coming to a close, and the home remodeling season fast approaching, it’s a good idea to plan ahead and get your siding project started before the rush.

Vinyl is one of the most popular siding materials in homes across Richmond, for a few important reasons. Here are a few of the reasons why vinyl siding in Richmond, is such a great choice for homes throughout the year:

  • High Performance: The first is that a vinyl Richmond siding installation can perform in the harsh climate of the area – from cold winters to hot summers and everything in between.
  • Beautiful Appearance: Vinyl siding can be manufactured to closely resemble wood, stone, and other beautiful natural materials that are common in homes in the area.
  • Cost Effectiveness: Another important characteristic is that it’s affordable – and is generally the most cost-effective installation material on the market.
  • Energy-Efficiency: Siding replacement using premium quality siding materials will help your home save money by reducing energy loss. The less your HVAC has to work to keep your home comfortable, the more you’ll save in energy costs. Better siding insulation will also keep your HVAC system from breaking down while extending its lifetime.
  • Water Damage Protection: Unlike wood, vinyl siding stands strong against moisture and requires much less maintenance and care to keep from becoming damaged.

Beautiful, Affordable Vinyl Siding in Richmond, VA

Just like with any other home remodeling project, vinyl siding products come in a range of quality options—from cheap, flimsy material to strong, premium-quality ones. Vinyl can have a bad reputation for this reason, which is unfortunate considering the excellent performance and long-lifespan of exceptional vinyl siding products. Homeowners that have done their research and learned about the benefits of excellent vinyl siding products know that the low-maintenance, premium vinyl siding can cost much less while lasting just as long as many other options.

At Classic Construction, we enhance your home with quality vinyl siding products that are engineered to last. But a quality product requires quality installation to maximize its longevity.

Classic Construction Proudly Participated in a Fundraiser to Help Abused and Neglected Children

Posted on

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.

Providing Exceptional Home Improvements in Short Pump and the Entire Richmond Metro Area

Classic Construction offers several home improvement services, including kitchen and bath remodeling, exterior remodeling, outdoor living solutions, and home additions. As is the case with our little playhouse, we use premium materials and provide expert workmanship for beautiful, durable results.

Take a look at pictures of the Meadow View playhouse and of some of our past home-improvement projects to get an idea of the quality to expect when you choose us for your next home update.

We recently replaced our deck with a screened in porch and wheelchair ramp for our daughter. From start to finish, this was by far the best remodeling experience that we have ever had. Juston,the project manager did more listening than talking and selling. What a relief! Brent and Dave,the crew, we’re organized,clean, and the quality of the finished product was amazing. We would highly recommend this company for any of your remodeling needs and we will definitely use them for any future needs of ours.

We’ve been enjoying our deck and four-season sunroom since they were installed last summer. From the time we starting working with Classic Construction on the design through completion of the project we received exemplary service. The quotes were thorough, the team accomplished everything in the contract and more. The quality of the workmanship was excellent and the follow-through with a couple of minor issues was done in a timely fashion. Overall the entire project exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend Classic Construction for anyone looking for top quality design and installation. Thank you!

Classic Construction recently completed a three-season addition, and complete deck resurface project for us, and we could not be happier with the results. This was by far, the best remodeling experience we have ever had. Juston, the Project Manager, was great to work with. He kept us informed every step along the process, and was willing to make whatever changes we requested along the way. Even wIth all the issues cause be the Covid epidemic, and supply chain issues, he did a great job of managing his way through it. The crew leader, Brent, is a true professional in his craft. The quality of his and his crews work is second to none. He also offer several great suggestions and ideas as the project progressed, and we couldn’t be happier with the finished project. I would highly recommend Classic Construction to any one who wants quality work done at a fair price.

Awesome experience! My wife and I hired Classic Construction to replace our old Masonite siding with vinyl and we are completely satisfied with the finished product. Brian Holder provided us with the initial estimate, and he was our contact person throughout the project; as he kept us well informed every step of the way. Brian was very detailed and perceptive during the initial walkthrough of our project, took great notes, and went over every single one of our questions. Also, Jimmy and his crew are amazing! They are expert installers of siding. They work well as a team, pay attention to details, and kept us well informed of their progress. In addition to replacing the siding we had Classic replace our door to a sliding door on the back of the house, which worked out wonderfully! We were in such great hands from start to finish and felt so comfortable. Now our house looks brand new and we continue to get compliments from family and neighbors, so to finish this off we HIGHLY recommend Classic Construction. We plan to update the bathrooms and the kitchen next and will be using Classic Construction again!

We had a great experience with this company from the quote to the completion of the work. The quote was well prepared and thorough and they took the time to go into the details of the work. Mike Paris was the Project Manager and keep us informed at all times. Jimmy’s crew was outstanding with the quality of work provided. We picked them out of the four estimates we received and are glad we picked them. Very good company to deal with.

Great experience, great workmanship, great communication, great result! We hired Classic Construction to replace our masonite siding with HardiePlank, and we are completely satisfied with the end result. Mike Paris provided us with the initial estimate, and he was our contact person throughout the project – he kept us well informed every step of the way. Whenever there was the slightest issue, Mike addressed it promptly and it was resolved to our satisfaction. Chuck was the carpenter who re-built the deck – nice “picture frame” design, good solid feel – we love the white and black railings. Jimmy and his crew are amazing! They are expert installers of HardiePlank siding. They work well as a team and pay attention to details. In addition to replacing the siding we had Classic replace our deck and four doors. Now our house looks brand new and is low maintenance. We continue to get compliments from neighbors, and we highly recommend Classic Construction.
