house. The homeowner had moved out of town to live with her daughter sever- al years earlier, and the house had been vacant ever since. In talking with the daughter and other family members, it was clear to us that they wanted what was best for their mom, but the main focus was taking care of the house they loved and in which they grew up. While on the phone with them, John directed them to our Facebook page, and the deal was done. The family watched the transformation from afar and commented on the progress regu- larly. They were amazed that we took down walls, totally changed the bath- rooms, added a bedroom and moved the original back door to facilitate a
better kitchen layout. When the house was completed, the daughter traveled six hours to see the final results. It’s a story that had a happy ending and was a win-win for everyone. This rehab took 12 weeks, but that was only due to a change in contractors. Our usual rehab timeline is eight weeks. •
