With a 60-year history of building homes in Virginia, we know the area and the people. Because our homeowners are our neighbors and friends, we are constantly reminded of the impact our work has on our shared community. In Virginia, we own every aspect of design, construction, and delivery. That gives us the control we need to ensure that every home meets our exacting standards.
When creating home exteriors, our award-winning architecture team incorporates unique designs as well as current market trends. Stay tuned throughout the week to learn more about the different facades we currently offer at our communities.

At the beginning of the year, we kicked off our second annual Year of Giving initiative by pledging to donate $1,000 per home to The Van Metre Companies Foundation for the first 250 homes sold in 2020. This money gets distributed to local charities who help the community in a variety of ways. Thank you! This achievement would not have been possible without our fabulous homeowners and involved employees. As we continue our Year of Giving, be on the lookout for ways to get involved!

Are you used to going out to eat multiple times a week—whether it's dinner with your family, lunch with your coworkers or happy hour with your friends? Most restaurants have stayed open with delivery or curbside pickup options.
When you order delivery, either directly from the restaurant or through an app on your phone, make sure you don't forget to tip your drivers who are working overtime to keep up with demand. In fact, use the extra money you would have spent on drinks and gas to tip more than you normally would.
We may miss getting pampered or the way we used to look and feel (prior to at-home haircuts and colors), but most of all we miss our "unofficial therapists"—our hairdressers, barbers, nail technicians and masseuses. The livelihood of these valued stylists has been hit hard during this time, but just because you can't get out and get your services, doesn't mean that you can't support them.
Investigate whether your favorite salon or spa offers gift cards. If so, purchase one now for a future appointment. And in the meantime, you could be spending time spoiling yourself in your luxury bathroom like this one at The Preserve at Westfields.
Check out our story for more of the luxurious bathrooms we offer!
Like all businesses, farmers markets have quickly learned to adapt during this time. Farms heavily rely on farmers markets and restaurants to sell their food. With restaurant sales down, now is a great time—more than ever—to get out and support local farmers. Farmers markets remain open with strict guidelines in place. Various vendors are offering home delivery or order pickup, so you don't have to peruse the market if you don't feel comfortable. Check out your local market's website for more information on how you can shop.
Van Metre kitchens—like this one in the Teagarden at Downtown Brambleton—are the perfect place to come home and create the perfect dish with your fresh ingredients.

At the beginning of the year, we kicked off our Year of Giving initiative by pledging to donate $1,000 per home to The Van Metre Companies Foundation for the first 250 homes sold in 2020. On this #ThankfulThursday we are BEYOND thankful because we have hit our goal of 250 homes sold. This achievement would not have been possible without our homeowners and employees. As we continue our Year of Giving, be on the lookout for ways to get involved.
