Extreme Makeover Spotlights Seamless Siding…

On Sunday, December 7, ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, an Emmy award winning reality show, will spotlight a unique seamless siding product in the makeover of a farm house in Albert Lea, Minnesota.
The reality show team demolished Dirk and Susan DeVries’ old house and rebuilt it from ground up. Dirk had lost his arm in a farming accident and Susan was recovering from a heart condition.
Their daughter Hanna, 12, described her old house as “coming apart at the seams” before the complete makeover. Upon entering the old house, there was an immediate smell of mildew. Leaky ceilings, rotting wood siding and missing tiles are conditions that the DeVries and their 3 children don’t miss.
A local ABC Seamless Siding dealer volunteered to work around the clock one weekend to install their unique seamless steel siding, soffit and fascia. The seamless siding was custom made at the new home using a machine that rolls out and forms the siding from a steel coil with a durable PVC coating.
Because the crew was able to form the exact length of siding that was needed, the finished house has no ugly seams or splice. This allows a level of craftsmanship and protection from the elements that is not available with other materials.
According to Don Drake, an ABC Seamless dealer in Charleston, IL, the dark “Cinnamon” color that was used on the house is rarely found in vinyl siding, but is available in the seamless steel siding because it is resistant to fading due to sunlight.
The “DeVries Family” episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition will air on Sunday, December 7th from 7:00 to 8:00 PM.
