Erie Helps with an Extreme Makeover
Fall 2008 -- Erie Materials recently teamed with Mahoney Design and Build for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition project that aired in early November.
This home was for the Hill family of Geneva, NY. The family had been living in a deteriorating 200-year-old house. Tim, the father, was using a dilapidated building for a gym to teach boxing to needy children in the community at his own expense. The makeover provided the family with a new, well-built and LEED Gold-certified house and a fully-furnished training center and boxing ring in the backyard.
Dozens of local trades people and other suppliers, plus hundreds of volunteer residents all pitched in to accomplish this incredible undertaking. All labor and materials, from trusses to safety goggles and asphalt to sandwiches, was 100% donated.
Erie Materials, with the help of some of our suppliers, donated CertainTeed roofing, CertainTeed siding, CorrectDeck composite decking, Jeld-Wen interior doors, HB&G columns, Tyvek housewrap and DuPont Roofliner and related accessories.
