INDUSTRYNEWS Clopay® and Ned Sickels Overhead Doors Pitch in to Help for THIS OLD HOUSE® Special Edition Series Superstorm Sandy devastated shorelines on the East Coast, affected homeowners are still determining how to rebuild in a landscape of provisional FEMA regulations, delayed building permits, and continued weather risks. During the anniversary month of Sandy, PBS' Emmy® Award-winning home improvement series THIS OLD HOUSE premiered a special eight-episode series on October 3, 2013 focusing on three sets of homeowners rebuilding in Bay Head, Point Pleasant and Manasquan, New Jersey. As part of the series, residential garage door manufacturer Clopay partnered with Dana Clark, owner and president of Ned Sickels Overhead Doors, to support the rebuilding efforts of the Santos family, who own a 1950s Colonial located on an inlet. Clark's company is located fve miles from the shore in Tinton Falls, NJ. When Sandy hit last fall, he was without power for three weeks. He considers himself lucky to have only suffered that inconvenience. A 45-year resident of the community, Clark was happy to support the Santos family, who were hit hard. Like most houses in the area, the Santos's had to be raised on pilings. The new garage doors are located on the frst level. Clark recommended Clopay's Canyon Ridge® Collection Limited Edition Series carriage house doors. The overhead doors are constructed of a durable, low-maintenance composite material that looks like real wood, but it won't rot, warp, or crack due to moisture. Each doors is two-inches thick and features a polyurethane insulated steel core for maximum energy-effciency and quiet operation. He also installed two new LiftMaster® openers. Clark's company is still replacing garage doors on the homes of Sandy victims. He anticipates the calls will remain steady for at least another year as people continue the rebuilding process.
