Atreus Homes Featured on Extreme Makeover THIS Sunday
Alright everyone, tune in to ABC on Sunday night, April 27, at 7:00 p.m. to see Atreus Homes & Communities play a key role in the transformation of the Martinez family’s home in Albuquerque on “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.” Atreus is a local Atlanta builder that features new homes in Atlanta, and throughout the southeast in general. Now they have decided to give back to the community by donating their time and effort to the Martinez family. The Martinez home is currently an insufficient, run-down duplex that will be transformed into a remarkable, safe home in only seven days. Ty Pennington will lead the group of designers, Atreus Homes and the volunteers on rebuilding and remodeling the home while the Martinez family vacations at Disney World. You won’t want to miss this episode as Gerald Martinez is a generous, ambitious individual that has done all that he can to improve an Albuquerque neighborhood that is full of crime, drugs and prostitution. The family has sacrificed their safety and well-being to trying to improve this neighborhood, and has made a great impact thus far. Unfortunately, they don’t have enough space to live in themselves - they don’t even have a stove. (Continued…)
