Sabrina Must controls the ball in a soccer
game against Australia.

Ellenbogen loves the serenity of her backyard. The
ranch was built in 1953 and, she believes, it
G was all multi-level
designed by Cranbrook's renowned Elliel Saarinen. By

the time she and husband Richard fell in love with the house,
50 years of previous ownership had taken its toll. Fortunately,
they knew to call Gittleman.
"It was not kept up at all," said Gail. "It was a disaster, and
the more we got into it, the more we found out what a
disaster it was."
Gittleman got right to work. Out came old woodwork, ruined
by years of paint. A leaky roof meant walls were stripped to
the studs; bathrooms were ripped out, the electrical was
below code.
"We'd do one project, then take a break, then do another,"
said Gail.
Three and half years later, the house is nearly done and the
Ellenbogen's new best friends are the work crew from
Gittleman who remained consistent throughout every project
as they carefully restored the house to its former glory.
"We really got to know the workers. They became like friends," said Richard, also complimenting
owner Scott Gittleman as "a pleasure to work with honest...and forthright."
Today, the home gleams with cherrywood, the bathrooms are a joy, new windows allow fresh air to
circulate within, the roof's been reshingled and the wiring has all been replaced. Except for the
kitchen—which will be done in a few years, says Gail, the entire house is completely renewed.
"Gittleman rebuilt it but kept the origional integrity," said Gail, delighted with the results. "It's just great."
So next time your home improvement project means getting down to the studs and starting over, rely on
Gittleman to not only do the dirty work but produce a finished product that meets the highest standards.
