🏚 From Burned Out Landlord to Big Win: William’s Rehab Redemption

A True Detroit Home Builders Story


When we first met William, he was done.


A long-time investor, he had grown tired of the landlord grind — the constant calls, the property damage, the stress. He was ready to cash out, but there was one big problem: his last rental property was in no shape to sell.


We’re talking about a house that had been through it.

👉 Filthy rooms covered in grime

👉 Rodent droppings scattered throughout

👉 Overgrown trees swallowing the yard — one on the corner and one dangerously close to the side of the house

👉 A garage on life support and a house that screamed neglect from every angle

It needed more than a clean-up.It needed a transformation.


That’s when William called Detroit Home Builders.


đŸ› ïž The Turnaround Begins


From the moment we stepped onto the property, we saw the potential. Our team created a full rehab strategy — not a patch job — but a full-scale revival that would breathe life back into the home and give it a second chance with a new owner.


Here’s what we did:

✅ Cleared the trees and restored curb appeal

✅ Deep-cleaned and sanitized every inch

✅ Rebuilt and revived the garage

✅ Brand new kitchen with modern finishes

✅ Full bathroom makeover

✅ Fresh paint throughout

✅ New carpet and flooring

✅ And top-to-bottom improvements — inside and out


Everything was redone except the roof — and even that looked better once the rest of the house was shining.


💬 William’s Reaction?

“You all exceeded my expectations. I never thought this house could look this good.”

His words — not ours.


The best part?


William successfully sold the home to a new homeowner who absolutely loves it. He didn’t just make a sale — he got top dollar, and he walked away with peace of mind, knowing that his final property didn’t go out with a whimper — it went out a winner.
