Meriden, CT — August 23, 2025 — On Saturday, August 23rd at 12:00 p.m., Nu-Face Home Improvements, in proud partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, will unveil a one-of-a-kind custom treehouse for a very special young girl in Meriden, Connecticut.
What began as a dream in the spring has grown into a remarkable project—a true labor of love. More than 10 Nu-Face volunteers braved the summer heat to bring this vision to life. The result: a royal blue castle nestled high among the trees, perched on a 10-foot platform deck that overlooks her backyard.
With generous support from valued vendor partners—including Direct Advantage, Hearst Media, Wolf Products, Alside Building Products, Tag Team Media, Forestville Lumber, and CT Siding—the Nu-Face team built a fully customized structure from the ground up. Outfitted with roofing, windows, siding, and doors, the treehouse also features a commercial-grade slide, climbing challenges, and even a special ramp designed so her dog can join her in her castle in the sky.
“This project has been unlike anything we’ve done before,” said Joe DeCiuceis, owner. “While we’ve helped thousands of Connecticut homeowners transform their houses, this was truly the most rewarding build in our company’s history.”
To preserve the magic of the surprise, the Make-A-Wish honoree stayed away from the construction site for weeks, with the help of her parents’ clever distractions. Saturday’s unveiling will mark the joyful moment when she sees her dream treehouse for the very first time, followed by a private celebration with the Nu-Face crew, family, and supporters.
Nu-Face credits the success of the project to the dedication of master installer Dave Podchaiski, along with team members Brad and Ricky, organizer Anne, and countless employees who generously volunteered their time, resources, and expertise.
As a family-owned and operated business, Nu-Face Home Improvements is honored to partner with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and looks forward to future opportunities to give back in meaningful ways.
The unveiling was a magical day with over 30 members of her family, and almost 20 members of the Nu-Face Team. She arrived blindfolded at noon, guided on each arm by her mother and father, to the bottom stair of her Tree House where members of the Make A Wish and Nu-Face Teams eagerly waited to show her all the magic. Toys, gadgets, art supplies, furniture and snacks awaited her inside her new resort among the trees. She and her friends immediately began exploring, playing, running, and climbing. The kids and adults all made a point to test out the gigantic blue spiral slide, culminating in laughter and fun after completing a truly magical project from Nu-Face Home Improvements.
