Quantum Restoration Helps Give Family Home Of A Lifetime

Nine-year-old Garrett Grommesh was born with spina bifida, but despite that, he possesses an indomitable spirit and a clear sense of his own limitless possibilities. Garrett has proven that he can do anything that able-bodied children do. He has spoken at several fundraisers, raised money for charities and nonprofits, and helped dedicate a handicap accessible playground.

Garrett has an 11-year-old sister, Peighton, who has a pancreatic enzyme deficiency known as Axenfeld-Reiger’s syndrome. Both Garrett and Peighton overwhelm those around them with joy. They embody exactly what they want the world to understand: that just because kids might have physical challenges, it doesn’t mean they can’t attack each day with power, heart and hope.

Garrett inspired his parents to take over the management of HOPE, Inc. Through HOPE, Inc, the Grommesh family has brought accessibility to children with disabilities. The Moorhead, Minnesota-based non-profit has become a year-round program to help promote independence for children with disabilities. They’ve made sports like volleyball or soccer available to anyone, regardless of the disability.

Unfortunately, they have not been able to bring that same accessibility to their own home. That was until the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition team stepped in and gave the Grommesh family the home of a lifetime, one that was handicapped accessible.

Quantum Restoration assisted by providing drying and cleaning services, including dehumidification and round-the-clock monitoring and labor, to expedite the drying of the drywall, primer, and paint in the interior and exterior of the home. The project was completed the week of October 3, 2011 in Moorehead, MN. 

Since 1987, the Quantum Restoration team has been helping clients restore their properties after disasters of all kinds.  Quantum understands customers’ needs for fast, reliable service in order to get back to everyday life.  Unscheduled remodeling is hard to manage if the restorers in charge of the project don’t understand the situation. Quantum provides expert knowledge and top-notch customer service throughout every phase of the project.

The Emmy award winning reality program Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, is now entering its 8th season.  The show airs Sundays from 8:00-9:00 p.m., ET on ABC.
