On Oct. 9 at 8 p.m. EST, everyone gets the opportunity to learn about the Rucker family, when the family’s Madison, Ga., home is unveiled on “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” Viewers also can discover the home’s new metal roof, which involved the generosity of several companies. The certified installer is Skyline Construction Services Inc., Eatonton, Ga.; the distributor is N.B. Handy Co., Duluth, Ga.; and the supplier is Fabral, Lancaster, Pa. Fabral and N.B. Handy donated the material and equipment to form the metal panels, while Skyline Construction donated its time and installation services. The lead builders are Madison-based Smart Properties Inc. and Eatonton-based Pilot Builders.
The design created by the Extreme Makeover team specified metal roofing in key locations that are highly visible from the curb, including porches, bathrooms and the family room. Requirements for the 1,400-square-foot metal area were for a profile that matched the aesthetics of the area while being eye-catching, environmentally friendly, long-lasting and durable. The selected metal roof is 24-gauge steel, 1 ½-inch tall Snap Lock panels, which were roll formed onsite. The panels have a Kynar coating with a Mansard Brown finish. This metal roof is Energy Star and LEED compliant.
The customers are the Rucker family: Andrea Taylor and her daughters, Anaiah, Camry and Amariah. In 2010, Camry and Anaiah were walking to school when a truck nearly struck 5-year-old Camry. Nine-year-old Anaiah pushed her sister out of the way and put herself in front of the truck. Anaiah’s left leg was amputated as a result of the accident, but Anaiah did not allow that, other injuries or the hours of rehabilitation to slow her down. She can be found playing sports, singing in a chorus and studying hard. Although not a complainer, getting around in a wheelchair has been a challenge, particularly at home.
“Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” airs on Sunday nights on ABC. The new season began on Sept. 25.
