Bentley Boston’s renovation involved a number of showroom enhancements, including the relocation of existing offices to accommodate new hospitality, service advisor and Bentley personalization areas. Work involved new ceilings, floors and interior walls. Specialty finishes include radial partition framing; custom oak pocket doors; a combination of top-of-the line ceramic tile and carpet flooring; recessed and suspended high performance LED lighting; and luxury furnishings. New exterior signage was also added.

The company’s latest Alfa Romeo dealership involved converting a portion of the dealerships automotive service area into a high-end showroom including a new storefront and Alfa Romeo brand wall, acoustical ceilings, lighting, flooring, and the same top-tier level finishes accorded all of the Chambers Companies’ more exotic brands.

These projects join a long list of those Jewett has already completed for the Somerville, MA-based Herb Chambers Companies, including a winter, 2014 renovation of the company’s neighboring Jaguar and Land Rover dealership.
