IN-GAME HOST, PITTSBURGH PIRATES

Joe Klimchak has hosted West Shore Home's television commercials for the past four years. What follows are Joe's answers to commonly asked questions about himself and the company: 

​

Q.) Who are you?

A.) Nobody special. A true Ordinary Joe. 

​

​

Q.) How did you connect with West Shore Home?

A.) I've hosted a small business segment in the Pittsburgh television market for the past nine years and West Shore Home is one of the businesses we feature frequently. After about a dozen tapings, West Shore asked if I would be interested in appearing in their television commercials. We recorded the first one in July of 2018 in Oakmont, PA. They had three operational locations in two states at the time. They've since grown into a national brand with 36 locations in 17 states.

​

​

Q.) What do you love most about West Shore Home?

A.) Its authentic leadership which starts with owner and CEO B.J. Werzyn. B.J. is the same person on and off camera. He sincerely cares about his customers and generously supports many worthy causes in the communities they serve.


Q.) Are you related to Kirsten Page?

A.) No. I met Kirsten on the set of our first commercial shoot together in the spring of 2021. Like B.J., Kirsten is very genuine. She truly cares about helping homeowners and is driven to make a difference by organizing all of West Shore Home's charitable efforts.


Q.) How tall are you?

A.) 6'3". I used to be able to dunk a whiffle ball, but my vertical leap isn't nearly what it used to be.

Q.) When you're not talking about homeowner solutions for mold, mildew and drafty windows, what keeps you busy?

A.) I've spent the past 18 Major League Baseball seasons serving as the In-Game Host of the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park. During the off-season, I enjoy sharing a message with middle and high school students about believing in themselves and their ability to improve at any skill. I'm also a group exercise instructor.
 

 

Q.) What's a little known fact about you?

A.) When I was in high school, I seriously considered becoming a priest.


Q.) If you could be cast on any TV show, past or present, which one would it be?

A.) The Andy Griffith Show, my all-time favorite. I'd be kicked back on the bench outside the barber shop with Floyd, Goober and Jud. Simple times. Ordinary folks. 
 

Q.) Are the "free in-home design consultations" you talk about on TV really free?

A.) For sure. There's no obligation to buy whatsoever. One of West Shore's expert sales representatives simply visits your home, assesses your project, goes over all of your options and leaves you with a price that's good for a full year.


Q.) Are there any extra discounts available for a new shower or bath?

A.) Set up your free in-home design consultation here and you'll receive a "friends and family" discount of $250 off your bath project if you choose to proceed. That's a $250 savings on top of their current sale. For limited time they're doing free installation on all shower and bath projects.

 

Q.) Have you used West Shore Home for any projects at your house?

A.) Yes, windows. What a difference. I've only ever owned fixer-uppers and this one needed windows desperately. Doors and a new walk-in shower are next.


Q.) Do you have a favorite quote?

A.) Yes. "Every kid is one caring adult away from being a success story." ~Josh Shipp


Q.) Do you record personalized video messages like the ones on Cameo?

A.) Surprisingly, yes. Only because I've received requests for some and as a way to provide additional support to a local homeless shelter. I'd be happy to record a short personal message for you, a family member, friend or co-worker for any occasion. Here are a few more details . . .
