Posted by: | Comments
Atlanta-based Construction Resources, Inc. has been a proud supporter of HomeAid Atlanta for many years. The company has been involved with several of HomeAid’s transitional housing projects in the metro Atlanta area and has also participated in two of HomeAid’s annual fundraising events, Project Playhouse® and the Fairway to Haven® Golf Classic.

Construction Resources generously provided sinks and countertops for this project.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
Posted by: | Comments
Bob Schoen and seven others from Florida Bath & Surfaces, Inc. joined hundreds of volunteers to build a home for a couple who adopted six special needs children from China.
The company created kitchen and bathroom countertops for the new home earlier this year for “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.”
Florida Bath & Surfaces spent just five hours early one morning installing countertops fabricated from designer renderings. This process usually takes about 10 days!
According to Schoen, President, “It was definitely a little more difficult, but there was total cooperation. We had 50 to 60 people in the house at once and everyone was pitching in. We knew it was a good thing.”
The Cambria quartz kitchen countertops and LivingStone bathroom countertops installed in the home are valued at $12,000. Cambria and LivingStone donated their materials and Florida Bath & Surfaces donated their time. Read More→
