(view printable PDF flyer)

COLORADO SPRINGS (July 14, 2005) - On time and on schedule are the words frequently heard at the "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition"/Keller Homes site in Peyton. Due to the incredible support and professionalism of more that 2000 subcontractors and volunteers all across the front range, the Barrett's will be seeing their new home as scheduled, midday on Sunday.

"The most dramatic and significant time during the last 48 hours was between 10pm and 2am last night," say Tom Adams, Project Manager and Vice President of Operations for Keller Homes. "Three hundred workers completed the framing, roofing, electrical, heating and plumbing in four hours. They were all dead tired, but under the glow of halogen lights, made the 2am framing inspection that is the Seminole moment in the building world."

Equally incredible have been the behind-the-scenes volunteers who have kept the crews going 24/7.

"Just one example is Louis' Pizza," says Brent McPherson, Director of Marketing for Keller Homes. "Louis and his wife left their dinner to come to the site last night to drop off pizzas, ice and water to a very hungry crew."

One of the highest rated series on ABC, "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" is produced by Endemol USA, a division of Endemol Holding. David Goldberg is the president of Endemol USA. The series is executive-produced by Tom Forman. The show airs Sundays (7:00-8:00 p.m. MDT), on the ABC Television Network.

Keller Homes was founded in Colorado Springs in 1983. It is still a privately held company with over 75 professionals on staff, building a few hundred homes each year. As an independent, private company, Keller prides itself on being nimble, innovative, and service-driven. For more information go to www.kellerhomes.com
