MACON, Ga. - As fans gear up for a new season of ABC’s hit TV show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” ShuBee Inc. has announced that it is a preferred vendor for the new season.

“Being chosen as a preferred vendor is an honor,” said Randy Bennett, ShuBee general manager. “What’s even more fulfilling for everyone at the company is having the opportunity to help so many people; from the volunteers working on the builds to the deserving families who benefit from them, we’re just happy to be in a position to help others.”

The company said it was a referral from a ShuBee client who had worked on previous “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” builds which led producers of the award winning show to contact ShuBee about being one of the 20 preferred vendors for the upcoming season.

“We were honored to play a role in such a great cause,” Owner/CEO Steve Stone said. “It feels good to know that our customers have so much confidence in us and our products that they would recommend us for something as big as being a part of this show.”

For each build on “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” Season 7, ShuBee is providing safety glasses, gloves, waterproof shoe covers, dust masks, earplugs, safety vests, caution tape, Enviroshield™ microporous coveralls, and various floor covering products. These products and more were used to launch Stone’s previous plumbing/HVAC business and led to his founding of ShuBee.

“All of our products have been tried and tested,” Chris Hood, ShuBee marketing manager, said. “We know that when used properly not only do they perform, but with their sight-to-gain-attention design they help businesses grow. More importantly in this case, we’re proud to be able to provide these products to the “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” team who are using them in the builds that mean so much.”

The first show of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” Season 7, will air on Sunday, Sept. 27 from 7 to 9 p.m. Visit www.abc.com for more information about the show. For more information about ShuBee and its products and services, visit www.shubee.com.
