Extreme Makeover
05/13/09
East Carolina Metal Roofing recently donated their time and expertise for a special project – the construction of a much needed dream house for a decorated veteran of Operation Desert Storm and his family, which was featured on ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, the TV show that forever changes the lives of deserving families every week.
For this North Carolina project – known as the Cooper Family Episode, ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition partnered with Edenton Builders. Edenton Builders then turned to the best installers and contractors in their area and asked them to be a part of their team. They quickly looked to East Carolina Metal Roofing for this unique project – a project that would require 17 hour work days and lots of sweat and determination. Greg LaPierre, owner of East Carolina Metal Roofing, commented that once they were asked to participate there really was no option; they knew they had to be involved no matter what it took. LaPierre had been told that the father of the family in need had been a combat medic and was currently an advocate for the welfare of others. “My family has very strong military ties… so it really just made sense for us to join the effort.”
“Metal roofing was the perfect choice for this project,” said LaPierre. “Not only is metal roofing designed to withstand the high winds of North Carolina and extremely efficient but it looks great. The Classic Green Kynar color finish was the perfect complement to the rustic log cabin design.” Regarding installation, each metal panel on the house was rollformed on the jobsite and was on average about 38’ long. In the end, we ended up using about 70 squares of metal. The roof was literally completed right before those famous words, move that bus, were called out. “It was an exhilarating project and one we are very proud to have been a part of,” LaPierre states. By joining forces with East Carolina Metal Roofing, NB Handy and Fabral were honored to be a small part of the event by helping to provide the metal for the roof application.
