Berks County Extreme Home Makeover For Charity
Enthusiasm in Berks County soars as the rally for a charity Extreme Home Makeover allows the community to learn more and get involved. Breyer Construction & Landscape welcomes this opportunity along with several other citizens and businesses. See the news clip below...
August 4, 2010 Update
The Extreme Home Makeover winner was chosen and the project completed on August 4, 2010. This is an extremely sad story with a happy ending. A husband had just graduated with his PhD and was diagnosed with a brain tumor shortly after. His wife was pregnant at this time as well. After extensive surgeries, medical bills were into the hundreds of thousands for them. On the day of his child's birth, the husband went out to feed the animals, collapsed, and died from a heart attack. The new family has struggled to survive ever since.
Breyer Construction, along with other donors, the Extreme Makeover crew, and an impressive work crew of community volunteers put up a new deck in only 18 hours. The show is scheduled to air during the 2010-2011 season. Be sure to check out the slideshow pictures of this project. Berks County can be proud!
Below are a few pictures of the new deck and landscape:
New Deck Give-Away
Each summer, Breyer Construction & Landscape teams up with Y-102 FM to give away a free deck to a local family in need. The goal is to encourage them by improving their lives with a deck they could not otherwise afford.
The 2011 winner lives in an urban duplex and can now enjoy the view of the woods because of the new deck. This year we were joined by Evergrain composite decking and Tam-Rail, both generously supplied by Wolf.

As you can see from the before pictures, this once beautiful wood deck has suffered the ravages of age common to wood: cracking, splintering, drying, etc. The after pictures show the more open feel of the replacement featuring composite hand railing that does not pose a threat of slivers.

2010 Deck Winner (AFTER)
Below is the deck for our 2009 contest winner's deck, showing both the elevation view and the deck itself.
For our 2007 I-105 FM deck give-away, it turned out that the winner already had a deck, and didn't want to part with it (below left). So, we built a second level, and replaced all of the railing on the main deck with MoistureShield railing to match the brand-new MoistureShield deck (shown in the after image on the right). This allowed the homeowner to have the size deck they wanted, and both portions of the new deck looked good together.
Composite materials are the perfect solution for accessibility ramps because of their resistance to warping, cracking, splitting, and other problems common with wood. Below is a handicap ramp Breyer Construction provided in conjunction with Calvary Bible Fellowship Church to a local family as a community service project in early 2010.
Breyer Construction is also proud to participate in community service projects such as:
- NADRA Deck for a Soldier
- Berks HBA Community Service Task Force
