"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" features Pella® products
New episode marks 21st appearance of Pella products
December 19, 2008
The Sunday, Dec. 7, episode of ABC television network's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" included products manufactured and donated by Pella Corporation.
The makeover in Albert Lea, Minn., marked the 21st appearance of Pella products to help complete the new construction of a home for a deserving family featured in the series. Pella wood windows manufactured in Pella and Carroll, Iowa, and Fairfield, Ohio, were included in the new farm home built for this episode.
"The Pella team was honored to help create better views for this special rural Minnesota family by teaming up with 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,'" said Kathy Krafka Harkema, Pella Corporation spokesperson. "The windows and doors and the skilled expertise of the team make Pella a natural fit for these unique projects. We thank the Pella Window & Door Showroom teams in Waterloo and Mason City, Iowa, Minneapolis, Minn., and local installers, in addition to our corporate team members who made this special project a reality."
Each episode features a race against time on a project that would normally take at least four months to achieve, involving a team of designers, contractors and several hundred workers who have just seven days to build an entire house plus the exterior and landscaping. Viewers see the transformation of the home and the reactions and emotions of the deserving homeowners.
