A Maine manufacturer of children’s playhouses will make a third appearance on ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition this Sunday at 8 p.m.
Windham-based Kids Crooked House, which makes quirky, custom outdoor structures for kids, has also appeared on American Chopper and a Jon & Kate Plus 8 episode that drew some 20 million viewers and was ranked one of the year’s best television brand placements, said Sam Pfeifle, Kids Crooked communications director.
For Sunday’s episode, Kids Crooked staff, including CEO Glen Halliday, built a four-structure backyard “crooked playland” at a home outside Allentown, Pa.
Pfeifle said Kids Crooked isn’t paid for its involvement with the show, and he said the lumber used to build the structures was donated by Maine’s New England Building Materials.
Kids Crooked has grown significantly during the past few years.
Pfeifle said the company’s revenue, which was roughly $100,000 in 2008, may reach $1 million in 2010.
Still, he said, Kids Crooked only has a few full-time employees, and the firm’s co-owners, Halliday and Jeff Leighton, still work other jobs.
The company’s structures range in price from $1,500 to $15,000 for large custom houses, Pfeifle said.
Kids Crooked is planning a viewing party at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday at the Foreside Tavern in Falmouth.
