DirectBuy of North Boston awards $50,000 home makeover to area resident
STONEHAM, MA…
DirectBuy of North Boston, the home improvement and furnishings club with direct insider prices, recently awarded $50,000 to Leominster resident James Hartung as part of the company's national Home Makeover Program. Mr. Hartung was presented with the check on August 26 at the Stoneham area club.
"When I received the letter in the mail notifying me that I was DirectBuy's $50,000 Home Makeover winner, I didn't think it was real," said Hartung. "It wasn't until I received a call from the DirectBuy corporate headquarters that made me realize I had truly won."
With his newfound fortune, Hartung has many home improvement projects in mind, but there's one clear front-runner that he's looking to begin this fall.
"I've always wanted a farmer's porch that wraps around both sides of my home and thanks to DirectBuy's Home Makeover contest, I can finally have an outdoor gathering place for friends and family to enjoy," said Hartung.
Not only will the porch provide a fun outside retreat for friends and family members, but it will also help facilitate next year's kitchen remodel. Hartung currently has a door in his kitchen that opens to the outside. The door divides up his kitchen, taking up valuable countertop and cabinet space. With the addition of his wrap-around porch, James will be able to move the door to a better location, allowing for more cabinetry and counter space along one of the kitchen walls.
Carl Krawczyk who operates the Boston North location was excited that his club was able to help someone from their community. "Every day, my wife Barb and I have loved having the opportunity to come to work and help families save money. So to be able to give Mr. Hartung a check for $50,000, well, that's just the icing on the cake!" said Krawczyk.
