fights fell peacefully but ended prematurely at
the Kaplan family home in West Bloomfield,
when Steve and Lisa Kaplan's teenage daughter's
late-night returns would consistently wake them in
the neighboring bedroom. This coupled with a
dining room table that would no lohger support
both dinners for four and Lisa's home office
equipment led the Kaplans to Gittleman with a cry
for more space and privacy.
After customizing four distinct plans for the
Kaplan's selection, Gittleman allowed the couple to
modify the winning plan to their liking. "They were
really flexible," praised Lisa Kaplan, whose
3-bedroom ranch would soon include an office—
converted from hers and Steve's former
bedroom—and a new master suite added to the rear of the house, strategically buffered by the
office to prevent sound from leaking.
The Kaplans commend both Gittleman's administrative staff and the crew for an unwavering show of
respect and courtesy while rearranging the walls of their bedroom come office. Even their family of
gerbils went undisturbed.
Today, the Kaplans are thrilled with what is, essentially, a new home for them. Everyone sleeps
soundly, and the neighbors marvel at Gittleman's flawless matching of 30-year old brick. "I don't
know how they did it!" said Lisa.
They may not share their secrets...but they'll shape your dreams.
Just ask the Kaplans.
