A lucky homeowner in Augusta will get a remodel thanks to ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.”

The show, hosted by Ty Pennington, selected Evans-based Bill Beazley Homes to do the work in December, the Augusta Chronicle reported on its website Thursday.

Last February, the program redid the home of a rural Georgia high school football coach who has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease.

The emotional home makeover program with Greenville High coach Jeremy Williams aired in May.
