Detailing isn’t a process that should be limited to rebuilt, antique show cars or high-end sports cars. There’s more to detailing than exterior glitter. It just makes sense to keep a vehicle in the best shape possible.

Some of the key elements of the approximately 30-month-long, multi-phased upgrade included refinishing all the main hardwood floors; the demolition/renovation of two children’s washrooms; a painting/redo of the kitchen, followed by a painting of the hallways, foyer, dining room, and den.
