Operation Finally Home

“Texas Home Improvement with Jim Dutton,” the largest Home Improvement show in the state, and Prestige Designer Homes are working together to build a home through Operation Finally Home for Army Specialist Hugo L. Gonzalez and his family.





In 2004, Spc. Hugo L. Gonzalez was the Turret Gunner on a Humvee in Iraq when a bomb exploded, hitting him with shrapnel. The injuries he sustained left him blind in his right eye and he has limited vision in his left eye. Now Spc. Gonzalez along with his wife and three children will have a home with donated products from the Texas Home Improvement sponsors, including a solar panel system that will minimize energy costs and maintenance for the Gonzalez family.

Carolee Kamesch, founder and company president of Prestige Designer Homes, has always leaned toward energy efficient construction so the company became a founding member of Green Built Texas with its inception in 2006. “We decided from the start that we were going to build the most energy efficient home possible” said Dutton, and “Carolee and the folks at Prestige Designer Homes will be perfect team partner to oversee this project”. A special ground breaking will take place this Thursday, March 10 at 2pm, at the Bridges at Preston Crossing in Gunter, Texas.
