Our Story

My name is Tristan Gamel and I am an 18-year-old Culver Academies graduate and the founder of Doorstep Detailing. I began working at the Culver Parks Department when I was 14 as a concession stand worker. As I began high school, I started taking entrepreneurial courses through the Rob Rubin School. When my mother left her job as a corporate physician to start her own private practice, I felt inspired to do the same and create my own startup using the skills I had learned through the Ron Rubin School. At 15 years old, I started this business and quickly learned how time-consuming a startup is. I began spending all my time researching and learning how to provide the highest quality service. By the following summer, I decided to trust my instincts and pursue the business full time. Now with 3 years of experience, it is my goal to deliver high-quality, reliable results with every detail.

What Makes Us Different

We believe excellence takes time. That’s why we book only one job per day, so every client receives our undivided attention. We don’t charge by the hour because our work isn’t bound by the clock, it’s guided by perfectionism and a deep commitment to the wow factor of the final result. Your satisfaction, not the stopwatch, is our measure of success.

At Doorstep Detailing, we don’t just clean vehicles, we transform them. From the moment we arrive to the final wipe down, our mission is to deliver unmatched quality, personalized care, and a finish that brings back that “new car” or “new boat” feeling.

Using only professional-grade equipment and top-tier products, we treat each vehicle as if it were our own. Every surface, seam, and detail is given the care it deserves. Our approach allows us to tailor every detail to your unique needs, emphasizing client comfort, convenience, and flexibility. Whether it’s adjusting around your schedule or focusing on areas of concern, we make sure you feel heard—and your vehicle feels renewed.
