Louisville, KY (PRWEB) July 17, 2010

Not many people can tell you how it feels to win a sweepstakes and receive a grand prize total of $ 25,000, including $ 15,000 in free THV home improvements and $ 10,000 in cash, but Dail Hancock of Kentucky became one of the lucky few on April 27, 2010, as THV announced the winner of the 3 month promotional Home Improvement Sweepstakes.

After filling out a Sweepstakes entry card at a home show in Owensboro, KY, Dail Hancock was chosen at random from among 26,000 entries from all over THV Compozit Windows and Doors service areas. Initially thinking she would never be one of those lucky people to win a contest, Dail was shocked, not to mention thrilled, to find the THV Prize Patrol waiting in her front yard as she drove up the street and into her driveway.

Having just recently purchased her home this past June, Dail Hancock and husband, Adam, are excited about the opportunity to make some improvements. After meeting with a THV sales rep early this week, Dail and her husband have already decided how to use their $ 15,000 in free home improvements. A total of 5 windows, 3 doors, and a new bath liner system were the home improvements of choice. Dail told THV she would like to use the $ 10,000 cash prize to build a new garage; however, no plans have been finalized.

Additionally, Charles L. Smith, CEO of THV, was so pleased with the outcome and 26,000 entries the company received, that they have decided to run the sweepstakes a second time. THVs newest Home Improvement Sweepstakes was launched April 1, 2010, and is open only to legal U.S. residents that own a home located within the service areas of THV Compozit Windows and Doors, its parent, affiliates, and subsidiaries. Additionally, participants must be 21 years of age or older as of April 1, 2010, and no purchase is necessary to enter.

HOLBROOK, NY (PRWEB) August 16, 2010

Four Seasons Sunrooms, North Americas premier sunroom, conservatory and window manufacturer was once more a key contributor to the top-rated reality television competition series HGTV Design Star on HGTV (Home and Garden television) , Americas leader in home and lifestyle television.

Now in its fifth season, HGTV Design Star features 12 competitive and creative designers, as well as an illustrious judging panel of acclaimed interior designers, including Genevieve Gorder, Candice Olsen and Vern Yip. This year, the producers of HGTV Design Star, the well-known Mark Burnett Productions (Survivor, The Apprentice) tapped the popular sunroom and window manufacturer to supply three beautiful bronze Sun & Stars Cathedral sunrooms in historic Foley Square in lower Manhattan. Four Seasons previously supplied two of the same rooms in New York Citys stunning Bryant Park for the final challenge of shows second season.

Four Seasons was our first choice because they’re the recognized brand leader in their field, Kevin Harris, executive producer of DesignStar at Mark Burnett Productions said. Four Seasons builds high quality year-round sunrooms that are versatile and the perfect size for our needs on HGTV DesignStar. Working with Four Seasons was great, as they were very flexible with our schedules, needs and the many demands of production.

Four Seasons is pleased to provide some of its world-class sunrooms for HGTV Design Star, James Ruppel, marketing director for the sunroom and window manufacturer said. Shows like this help illustrate what hundreds of thousands of homeowners around the world experience every day: extraordinary year-round outdoor living, indoors, in climate-controlled comfort 365 days a year.

This season, the Sunroom Challenge was the stage for the showdown between the final three contestants on the show. The designers were tasked to design the glass sunrooms into inviting living spaces. Set amid the extraordinary surroundings of Foley Square, which includes the U.S., New York and International Trade courthouses, fronted by the Triumph of the Human Spirit Memorial, the Church of St. Andres, the New York Municipal Building and two Federal Office Building, the designers had just two days to turn the glass-walled sunrooms into beautiful designs.

All the designers did amazing work with the Four Seasons Sunrooms, Ruppel said. They really seemed to understand that Four Seasons Sunrooms are year-round living spaces that can match any design sensibilities for any room function. From family rooms, to dining rooms to bedrooms and kitchen additions, Four Seasons Sunrooms are real room additions that are anything but ordinary theyre extraordinary. I would be pleased to have any of them design my sunroom. Im looking forward to finding out which design won this year and who will be getting their own show on HGTV.

Four Seasons Giving Away Featured Sunroom

A team of Four Seasons personnel built the three sunrooms in a marathon 18-hour building session at Foley Square, left them up for three days for the shooting of the show and removed them overnight after the shoot. The sunroom and window manufacturer is now hosting a contest to give away one of the beautiful Cathedral-roofed sunrooms. Anybody in North America can win one of these glass-roofed sunrooms just by entering.

To enter, consumers simply need to visit SunroomGiveaway.com and upload a photo or video of their home and describe why they want a sunroom and how they would use it. To become a finalist, entrants simply need to get their friends to vote for their entry and they could be selected as one of the finalists in the contest. The final judging of the top-rated entries will be decided by a panel of experts at a later date.

We built these sunrooms for a Design Star and we would like a family somewhere in North America to own a piece of that history, Ruppel said. There was a tremendous amount of interest from passersby when we built these rooms in New York City, but we didnt want to limit this to just New Yorkers, so everybody in North America has a chance to own a Four Seasons Sunroom through this contest.

Four Seasons Sunrooms has been building the premier year-round sunrooms, patio rooms, conservatories and solariums for over 35 years. In hundreds of styles from solid roof patio rooms and straight and curved eave glass-roofed sunrooms and solariums, to cathedral-roofed sunrooms and conservatories, Four Seasons offers a room addition for every homes architectural style or homeowners design sensibility.

Four Seasons ConservaGlass Select is so strong and durable, the company offers a Transferable Lifetime Warranty to protect not only the original owners, but future owners down the road, ensuring a Four Seasons Sunroom will maintain its value for years to come.

The sunroom Four Seasons is giving away is one of its most popular models.

Longmont, CO (PRWEB) September 30, 2010

Kemmons Wilson Companies broke ground on the new Abbey and Canterbury models at The Villas at Pleasant Valley, an active adult community with a maintenance-free lifestyle. The new models add upgraded kitchen and living areas creating more options for a homebuyer who is looking to live in a community with an active senior lifestyle.

The Abbey is the two-bedroom plan in the Cathedral Series of homes built by Kemmons Wilson Companies. The Canterbury model is the three-bedroom plan, where the third bedroom is sometimes used as a den or study area. Both are in the same Cathedral Series of homes built by the company. Both plans feature high ceilings, large living spaces, and a sunroom with three walls of solid glass. The bedrooms provide suite-like full baths and walk-in closets.

While many other planned communities have been halted half way through the development process, leaving a an unfinished community for its early home buyers, and other developments head worse yet, into foreclosure, Kemmons Wilson Communities can’t seem to keep up with demand.

“The new building under construction at The Villas at Pleasant Valley is a Cathedral building with two Abbey and two Canterbury models. Its completion for touring is targeted for Thanksgiving. This project is underway because all standing inventory sold out early this summer, which capped a pickup in sales activity over the early part of the year, especially during the Spring,” said Ron Hickman, senior vice- president heading the Real Estate Ventures Group.

The new models show hardwood-flooring upgrades in the living areas and kitchen; the new kitchen has an upgraded cabinet with desk area for convenience and functionality. Both places offer upgraded patios, spacious interior storage, a large laundry room right off the kitchen, gas fireplace in the living room, attached two car garage and attic storage.

Kemmons Wilson Companies has five active senior communities nationwide that are maintenance free for residents which include The Villas at Pleasant Valley, The Villas at Great Plains Park, The Villages at Schilling Farms, The Oaks at Parkview, and the Oaks at Woodchase.
