community outreach
Moss Building & Design is a family-owned business that has been remodeling homes in the Northern Virginia market for 10 years. Owners, Pete Hampel, Justin Schopp and Jason Hampel all live and work in Moss’s service area, and giving back to the community has always been part of the company’s philosophy.
Throughout the years, Moss has contributed to causes that affect local families–from contributing to Habitat for Humanity by providing reusable materials removed from homes during remodeling projects to sponsoring local hospitals for area children through the Children’s Miracle Network.
“Paying it forward” by contributing to worthy causes within the community has been the focus for Moss’s donations to family and child-related causes. Moss looks forward to continued involvement in the community and is proud to be part of the following organizations:
