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 â 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.
Weâre talking about a house that had been through it.
đ Filthy rooms covered in grime
đ Rodent droppings scattered throughout
đ Overgrown trees swallowing the yard â one on the corner and one dangerously close to the side of the house
đ 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.
Thatâs when William called Detroit Home Builders.
đ ïž The Turnaround Begins
From the moment we stepped onto the property, we saw the potential. Our team created a full rehab strategy â not a patch job â but a full-scale revival that would breathe life back into the home and give it a second chance with a new owner.
Hereâs what we did:
â Cleared the trees and restored curb appeal
â Deep-cleaned and sanitized every inch
â Rebuilt and revived the garage
â Brand new kitchen with modern finishes
â Full bathroom makeover
â Fresh paint throughout
â New carpet and flooring
â And top-to-bottom improvements â inside and out
Everything was redone except the roof â and even that looked better once the rest of the house was shining.
đŹ Williamâs Reaction?
âYou all exceeded my expectations. I never thought this house could look this good.â
His words â not ours.
The best part?
William successfully sold the home to a new homeowner who absolutely loves it. He didnât just make a sale â he got top dollar, and he walked away with peace of mind, knowing that his final property didnât go out with a whimper â it went out a winner.
đ Real Results. Real Detroit.
