Ply Gem Supplies Seven Home Exteriors for Series Finale of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" – Tune-in Friday, January 13 at 8 pm EST on ABC
• The seven home build, the largest in the show’s history, is for seven families who were affected by the tornado that devastated Joplin, Mo. in May of 2011.
• The Designed Exterior by Ply Gem, a complete, low maintenance exterior solution, was applied to each of the seven homes and personalized for each family.
• Visit www.facebook.com/PlyGem to enter for a chance to win memorabilia autographed by Extreme Makeover: Home Edition designers.
Seven homes were built in seven days when ABC’s Emmy-award winning reality TV show headed to Joplin, Missouri to help rebuild the tornado stricken town in the largest project in the show’s history. Ply Gem, a leading manufacturer of exterior building products for the residential construction market, supplied complete exteriors for each of the seven homes through application of The Designed Exterior by Ply Gem. The build marks the show’s 200th episode and its series finale. The Joplin episode will air on Friday, January 13 at 8 pm EST on ABC.
The seven homes are for seven families who were affected by the tornado that tore through Joplin in May 2011, killing approximately 160 people and destroying nearly 8,000 homes. Some of the Joplin families lost friends, some lost children, and all lost their homes.
Each of the seven home styles – Cabin, Beach, Eco, Chic, Modern, Craftsman and Bohemian – was inspired by the personality of the specific families. The Designed Exterior by Ply Gem, a complete exterior home solution with low maintenance products from one manufacturer, was applied to each of the exteriors and personalized for each family.
To see photos from the build, and to enter for a chance to win memorabilia from the build, autographed by Extreme Makeover: Home Edition designers, visit www.facebook.com/PlyGem. Also follow @PlyGemNews on Twitter.
