Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Air Date Announced!

It’s confirmed by ABC. The Hill Family, Suffield, Connecticut, episode featuring the Pecoy Company builders will be airing on Sunday, October 11, 2009, at 8/7p central on ABC.

Juliano Associates, LLC is proud to have been one of thousands of sponsors of this build donating the landscape design for the Hill Family. Tracy Van Rye, lead designer for Juliano, created a landscape environment that included hundreds of native, low-maintenance trees, shrubs, annuals and perennials that will provide the family with beauty and color throughout the year.

The Extreme Pecoy coordinators have also created a special program for the “Ideas for Living” Fall Home Show at the Eastern States Exposition November 6th thru November 8th, 2009. As the main feature for the November event, an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Special Exhibit is being created to highlight sponsors, activities and information about the project. Photos and video of the build, along with interviews with Kent Pecoy and his team, will happen throughout the weekend. Stop by the New England Building during the Big E to see how it really was possible to build such a beautiful home for the very deserving Hill Family in such a short time frame.

Juliano Contributes to a Great Cause

On Thursday, September 17, 2009, NeighborWorks New Horizons of New Haven hosted their first annual golf tournament to support their housing development and enrichment programs for community members.

NeighborWorks New Horizons is a non-profit organization that constructs and operates hundreds of affordable housing units throughout New Haven, New London and Hartford Counties. Their mission is to “develop and operate permanently affordable quality housing that builds strong, healthy and vibrant communities through active resident and community participation and leadership.”

Juliano has enjoyed a long working relationship with NeighborWorks providing quality land surveying, civil engineering and site design services for many of their projects. So, naturally, when we were invited to participate in the golf tournament, we were happy to send one of our staff, Scott Katin from the survey department, to tear up the course. The tournament was held at the beautiful Laurel View Golf Club in Hamden, Connecticut, as a scramble format with no handicaps. Scott enjoyed a beautiful day on the course with his team. Their 4 under par wasn’t enough to win, but they had fun contributing to a great cause. We are already looking forward to next year’s “Swing into Fall” classic.

Juliano Gets on the Bus with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

Juliano Associates, LLC was Part of Build

The Emmy-award winning hit ABC television show, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was in the region recently with an extreme home makeover of the Hill family home in Suffield, Connecticut. Juliano Associates, LLC played an important role in the project by providing a landscape design that included hundreds of native, low-maintenance trees, shrubs, annuals and perennials that will provide the family with beauty and color throughout the year.

Western New England builder Kent Pecoy, of Pecoy Signature Homes was chosen by the show to build the home in the span of just one week. As part of the build, Juliano was invited to provide the Hill family with a landscape design that compliments their breathtaking new home. Pecoy Signature Homes as well as other subcontractors and vendors, including Juliano, provided services and materials on a donated basis as part of the build.

According to Tracy Van Rye, lead designer for Juliano, “This is a remarkable opportunity for our organization to be part of something that will change the lives of a very deserving family. We are honored to have played a role in creating a timeless and beautiful landscape environment that the family can enjoy for years to come.”

Heading into its seventh season, the show’s theme will be “get on the bus” inspiring community to join the extreme team in making a difference all across the country. The home build occurred the week of June 21, 2009. The lucky area family was surprised on June 21 by a visit from Ty Pennington, team leader for the show, when the family’s identity was made public. The show’s cast “revealed” the new home on Sunday, June 28 when Pennington recited the show’s signature phrase, “move that bus!” Stay tuned for show air date!
