Huber Engineered Woods donates products for “Extreme Makeover”

By Hannah Bealer | Sunday, August 2, 2009, 04:48 PM

“Extreme Makeover” volunteers won’t be catching a break anytime soon. The Terpenning family’s house, located on Carthage Drive, was demolished on Saturday. Now that the area has been leveled, volunteers worked diligently on Sunday, August 2.

The construction crew hoped to have the framework for the new house finished by midnight.

Huber Engineered Woods, a company with a location in Columbus, was contacted by Extreme Makeover’s producers to ask if they would be willing to help out with the project. The producers had used products from the company in the past and was impressed, said regional sales manager Kevin Kessler, who was visiting the construction site on Sunday.

“Corporate made the decision to get involved,” said Kessler. “It’s a great way to expose our products.”

AdvanTech Flooring, ZIP System Wall Sheathing and ZIP System Roof Sheathing are three of the donated products.

Kessler explained that each product helps to eliminate steps in the construction process that are usually necessary. AdvanTech Flooring has “design bending strength and stiffness that commodity oriented strand board and plywood,” according to a press notice released by the company. The ZIP System Wall Sheathing is a “moisture barrier and air barrier all-in-one,” and the ZIP System Roof Sheathing eliminates the need for felt paper and H-clips.

“Everything is installed easily. It works in all kinds of conditions,” he said, noting that the products are great for quick builds. “We’re glad we can provide some help with our products.”

Construction on the house will continue until Thursday, Aug. 6, when it will be revealed to the family after their Disney World vacation. The Terpenning family will arrive around 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., and the community is invited to welcome them home.
