Local Design/Build Remodeling Firm Gives Back To The Community DENVER, CO – Local design/build residential remodeling firm, Classic Homeworks, recently took some time out to give back to the community that has given them so much great success over their 20-year history. In 2004, Classic Homeworks teamed with the Home Builders Foundation (HBF) and many other vendors to retrofit the home of a disabled Police Veteran. Also in 2004, President Rick Pratt traveled to Nicaragua with Habitat for Humanity to put his homebuilding expertise to good use. On August 15, 2003, Gary Kasson, a 30-year law enforcement veteran, was riding his motorcycle home when he was rear-ended by a drunk driver, forever changing his and his family’s lives. He spent the next five moths in hospitals enduring rehabilitation for his brain injury. Permanently in a wheelchair, Gary was finally able to return home and the Kasson family realized that the home they loved was ill-equipped to handle Gary’s new needs. Major home modifications were required, so Carol Kasson contacted the HBF, a local organization whose mission is to "use the unique resources of the building industry to provide housing, accessibility, and education to help those in need, making their lives more livable." They partnered with Classic Homeworks to widen the homes’ hallways and doorways, making them wheelchair accessible, and completely remodeled the bathroom to accommodate all of Gary’s needs. With the help of many, the job was completed in early February this year. President Rick Pratt commented, “Everyone in the company came together and worked harder on this project than ever before. It truly became a labor of love.” To take the firm’s volunteer efforts global, Classic Homeworks President/Owner Rick Pratt joined forces with Habitat for Humanity to build houses in Nicaragua. Houses are usually two-bedroom with tile floors, block or brick walls and a corrugated iron roof. Depending on access to a sewage system, houses either have an indoor bathroom or an outdoor latrine. Building houses that would withstand strong winds and even hurricanes, Rick worked (and played) 10 days alongside the families who would later occupy the houses.
