Local heroes, essential workers, first responders and those in need amid the COVID-19 crisis have a chance to score free home improvements.

Straight Line Construction is partnering with other local, small businesses to help people in need or to give back to those on the frontlines of the fight against COVID-19. $125,000 in home upgrades will be given away as part of its Heroes Home Improvement Giveaway that will run through May 26.

This program is about trying to bless those essential workers and first responders who are real heroes in a difficult time, said Straight Line Construction owner Jack Borba.

Community members in El Dorado County can nominate a local hero, someone in need or even themselves to win one of many home improvements. The program gives winners an opportunity at a new roof, gutters, solar, HVAC system, deck, siding, paint job or a garage door.

Borba said he first came up with the idea for the program driving through south Cameron Park at the beginning of April and saw all the businesses closed down.

For awhile we in construction were not sure if we would be classified as essential or not and eventually we were and are very blessed, Borba said. I decided to add people in need to the program because I realized how many people are hurting from their businesses closing up as a result of this health crisis.

The giveaway is divided up into categories with assigned value limits that include a complete deck replacement (one available up to $30,000 in value); complete siding replacement (one available up to $26,500 in value); complete roof replacement (one available up to $20,000 in value); solar system (one available up to $15,000 in value); heating/air conditioning system (one available up to $15,000 in value); roof repair or gutter replacement (five available up to $2,000 each in value); painting services (one available up to $5,000 in value); skylight replacement (one available up to $1,500 in value); deck sealing (one available up to $1,000 in value); and a garage door (one available up to $1,000 in value).

Winners will be determined by weekly drawings.

Founded in 1999 by Borba, Straight Line Construction began as a roofing company and now offers residential services for roof replacement and repairs, gutters, decks, siding and window replacement.

Straight line has since been improving homes in this community and giving back to those in need, with past fundraising efforts helping to support the Food Bank of El Dorado County.

Borba said participants in the Heroes Home Improvement Giveaway can enter once each day and even complete bonus entry options/forms to increase the opportunity for nominees to win.
