A. Caspersen Company Inc. Teams Up with Nonprofit to Provide Housing for Homeless Families in Akron

A. Caspersen Company Inc. recently had the honor of partnering with the nonprofit organization Gennesaret to convert a vacant property in Akron into a safe and comfortable home for (up-to) four homeless families. Gennesaret is an all-volunteer nonprofit corporation that is a unique provider of long-term housing for homeless two-parent families in Summit County. Our focus for this project was the exterior of the home, which included replacing siding and minor roofing repairs.

We were grateful to receive sponsorship from Alside for the siding materials and ABC Supply for the roofing materials. We replaced the rotted wood siding (as needed), and installed foam underlayment for added insulation benefits. We installed gorgeous Alside Odyssey vinyl siding, which provides a lifetime warranty and maintenance-free solution the home. This allowed us to replace the old, worn-out siding with gorgeous Alside Odyssey vinyl siding, the new siding not only looks beautiful, but it also provides energy efficiency and long-term durability. We replaced the roofing on the front dormer and did repairs on the flat roof.

The project was especially meaningful to us, as we believe in supporting our community and giving back in any way we can. Chelsea Caspersen, the owner of A. Caspersen Company, said,

"As a family-owned and community-focused company, we were thrilled to partner with Gennesaret to provide safe and comfortable housing for those in need. It's projects like these that remind us why we do what we do.”

We're proud to have been a part of this project and to have worked with Gennesaret to make a difference in the lives of families in Akron. We believe that everyone deserves a safe and secure place to call home, and we're honored to have been able to help make that a reality.

CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio, Sept. 05, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- [A. Caspersen Company Inc.] has been selected by REMODELING magazine to join the REMODELING Big50. Each year since 1986, the REMODELING Big50 inducts 50 remodeling companies that have set exceptionally high standards for professionalism and integrity through exemplary business practices, craftsmanship, and impact in their community or the industry at large. Big50 remodelers run successful, often growing, companies of various sizes that have taken the lead in raising industry standards.

Since the Big50 program began, REMODELING has selected about 1,600 firms for Big50 status, approximately less than 2% of all remodeling businesses in the country today.

“We are honored to receive this distinction,” says Chelsea C. Caspersen, Vice President of A. Caspersen Company. “The award recognizes excellence and leadership, and we are privileged to be named to this select group of remodelers.”

REMODELING editors, columnists, industry leaders, and the companies themselves make the nominations each year. Following a lengthy evaluation and interview process, the editors select the 50 individuals who exemplify the best of the industry that year, and who have something to offer other remodelers in proven practices.

This year’s Big50 includes full-service remodelers, home improvement firms, and specialists in specific parts of the homes, such as kitchens and bathrooms. Some have a history going back decades, while others are just a few years old. “There’s no single strategy here and no lack of competitors for their services,” REMODELING’s introduction to the list declares. “What Big50 firms share is a culture that celebrates employees and customer service above all.”

President of A. Caspersen Company, Eric A. Caspersen states, “I could not be more pleased to have the honor of receiving this prestigious award! I am most proud of my daughter, Chelsea, for choosing to continue the A. Caspersen Company legacy of faith and integrity.” 

The 2019 Big50 winners are featured in the July-August issue of REMODELING, a national trade publication read by more than 150,000 professional remodeling contractors. Longer profiles of the winners are posted on the REMODELING website, remodelingmag.com.
