Man brings two businesses to Brussels
By David Blaney
Citizen staff
Plaster, stucco and car care — Don
Neville admits that his two
businesses make an odd couple.
However he doesn't spend any time
worrying about it.
When Neville decided to move the
only took a few hours a week."
The car care business seemed to be
a natural. The building was well set
up for it and his daughter would be
able to look after the business.
This is Neville's second location.
At the moment the main location for
the stucco and plastering business is
located in the K-W area. However if
things progress as he hopes the
intention is to consolidate his
operation in Brussels.
Much of the business consists of
on-site plaster and stucco work.
However, Neville also produces
prefabricated stucco panels that are
often used to retrofit buildings. The
panel's design and the fact that they
are fitted to the outside of a building
makes them a convenient and easy
way to renovate while adding
insulation with a minimum of mess.
The panels are constructed from a
base consisting of foam over a
hollow wooden form or from
medium density foam. The stucco is
then applied in whatever colour
required.
Much of the current production is
being shipped to the U.S. where they
are installed by an American firm.
That company currently uses the
panels on the KFC franchises it is
constructing and renovating.
The car care business is a new
venture but Neville says that he will
soon have a complete line of
accessories available. He currently
cleans and details cars and can
provide window tinting if a customer
wants. Shortly he will be able to
install everything from bug
deflectors to new carpet.
The company's cleaning abilities
are dramatically illustrated by a
series of before and after photos on
the wall. From four litres of used
motor oil ground into a car's rug to a
dashboard that looks white washed,
he has seen and dealt with just about
everything.
As Neville says, "Nobody brings
you a clean vehicle."
They will be holding a grand
opening on May 25 from 9 a.m. to 3
p.m. and everyone is invited to
attend. The website is not up and
running yet but he can be reached at
887-9735 or by email at

business from his home he went
looking for a place nearby. The

quite nicely according to Neville.
His daughter was looking after the
record keeping for the plaster
