Royal Plus Involved
With ABC Makeover BERLIN – Royal Plus Disaster Kleenup of Snow Hill announced this week it’s a proud participant in the popular ABC series, “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition”.
The television show will focus on Boys Hope of Baltimore, seven talented young men from the inner city and gives them safe homes where, together, they learn to live, compete and excel academically and athletically. Having purchased land nearby in hopes of building a similar one for inner city women, the men of Boys Hope wanted to help build a home to provide the girls in the community the same opportunities.
Royal Plus Disaster Kleenup was originally scheduled to assist by providing drying and cleaning services, including dehumidification and round-the-clock monitoring and labor, to expedite the drying of the drywall, primer and paint in the interior and exterior of the home. In actuality, severe thunderstorms turned Royal Plus’ participation into a water mitigation project requiring demolition, drying and rebuilding of the interior walls.
The project was the largest “build” ever undertaken by the Extreme Makeover team and will air on Sunday, Sept. 26.
