When ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition came to Detroit, they had over 800 builders to choose from. They chose American Heartland as their builder. We then brought in Lombardo Homes and between the two teams the home was built in record time. We were able to build the 3,900 square foot Extreme Makeover home in a record setting time of 53 hours 54 minutes! Why was American Heartland chosen out of all the home builders in the Detroit area? As a decision maker stated:

“We have to check their background. We have to make sure the county believes in them, that they have a good record and are building homes and not getting sued. They must be outstanding citizens…and that’s what everyone said about Rick and American Heartland. They are people you can trust, when they give their word, they will follow through, and once they say yes, they will be there for you.”

Ask your new home advisor for a copy of the exclusive Behind the Scenes video. The 18 minute Behind the Scenes contains clips on how the house was built in such a short amount of time, interviews with the crew about how they prepared for the extreme build, and numerous other clips that didn’t make the show.
