Extreme Makeover : Home Edition We are very proud to have been a part of the team on the 12th episode of ‘Extreme Makeover’ for the Cadigan-Scott family in Livermore. This family of eight children, ranging in age from 12 to 23 years old, lost both parents within two weeks of each other and were living in a run down three bedroom home. Along with the ‘Extreme Makeover’ designers there were 200 workers who transformed this house into a beautiful contemporary home. Our involvement came to light in April of 2004 when we were approached to assist with the rough carpentry for the project. Our staff of experienced carpenters aided in the framing and erection of trusses for the new structure. Our crew’s hard work played an important role in the project’s success. We were happy to help make a dream come true for this deserving family. |
