AAA Homes of MS, LLC was honored to be chosen by ABC Television as Lead Builder for the Hattiesburg
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. As Lead Builder our responsibilities were to oversee the home design
and manage complete build project; to recruit and organize 300 trades and 1,200 volunteers, obtain all
building materials by donation, obtain all permits, raise financial support to cover cost overruns, build a
web site, put on a Pep Rally and obtain food and drink to feed 300 hungry Volunteers some three times
per day for eight days. Oh yes, don’t forget the main task … demolish the old home, clear debris, survey
a new pad and build and warrant the new home all in one Extreme week. This done while keeping it all a
big “hush” secret for four weeks prior to Ty’s famed “door knock”. Whew, what a memorable and grand
Extreme week it was!
AAA Homes wants to thank Mayor DuPree and the City of Hattiesburg, HPD and HFD, Forrest County
Sheriff’s Dept., Camp Shelby and every Trade, Volunteer, Leader, Donor, Supplier, Restaurant, Caterer,
Business, Bank, Sponsor and Prayer Partner that made this 167th Extreme Makeover a complete success.

The lovely Victorian Farmhouse was
built on 18th Avenue for the very
deserving Sherman Heathcock family.
By leading an All-Star team of builder
trades and volunteers, AAA Homes
was able to help the Heathcock family
achieve their simple dreams of having
a safe and healthy home to raise their
children. Rewarding to AAA Homes
were the many long lasting
relationships built during the rapid
EXTREME one -week build process.

Designer Jonathan Boone of House Plan Zone states, "It was a challenge being the first home in
Hattiesburg to be designed with green certification in mind, but with the help of many volunteers and
hours of research we were able to get there. I hope this is the start of many homes in our area that will
reach this goal". The Extreme Makeover home will benefit the Heathcocks with cleaner air, reduced air
infiltration, lower power bills, less water consumption, and many more energy saving, long lasting
benefits.
The Heathcock’s new “Green” living space has practically doubled and yet at 47.6% more efficient than
code requirements, the Heathcock’s utility bills will remain about the same from the many green energy
features and building techniques employed. Many of these green features and building techniques are
encompassed in each of our Signature Homes and most of our AAA Homes offered throughout the
Hattiesburg market. Please see the flyer designed by House Plan Zone specifically for Extreme
Makeover. Learn more about what Green means and you too may decide your best investment is to Go
Green.
