A Blitz with Purpose

Habitat Wake’s Builders Blitz is designed to accelerate the path to homeownership—transforming framed structures into completed homes in one remarkable week. This year’s event was held in Old Poole Place, Raleigh and united builders including Rock Creek Builders, Revolution Homes, Midtown Custom Homes, Triple A Homes, and McNeill Burbank in a collective mission to provide safe, affordable housing.

The installation of Ply Gem® windows and Mastic® siding helped ensure each home was both functional and visually striking—ready to support families for generations. Each of the five homes received a complete exterior solution package, including:

  • Ply Gem® 1500 Vinyl Collection Durable 1500 vinyl windows offer excellent insulating properties, helping to lower heating and cooling costs and keep homes comfortable throughout the year. The low-maintenance windows also enhance homes by providing ample natural light and open views.
  • Mastic® by Ply Gem Ovation vinyl siding provides a beautiful, long-lasting home exterior. Designed for strength and durability, the vibrant finishes are easy to care for and resist weathering.
  • Coordinated Ply Gem® trim and accessories for a polished, finished look

More Than Just Materials

The contribution of building materials went beyond construction—it reflected a shared investment in the future of five families.
With Ply Gem® windows bringing in natural light and creating bright, uplifting spaces, and Mastic® siding providing protection and long-term stability, together, they helped transform each structure into a home—safe, resilient, and ready for everyday life.

Every product installed was a representation of true partnership between the people behind the products, our local Habitat Wake affiliate, our local builders, and the new homeowners.

On May 16, all five homes were dedicated to their new homeowners in a celebration, complete with rocking chairs, welcome baskets, and a strong sense of pride.
