LONG VALLEY, NJ β€” A Long Valley family will be featured on an upcoming episode of the NBC renovation show, "George to the Rescue."

The Marini family got a brand-new indoor play space in their basement thanks to George Oliphant and his team. The reveal took place this afternoon, but you'll have to wait until the episode airs on April 13 to hear the full story.

Washington Township Mayor Matt Murello and Washington Township Police Officers were on hand for the big reveal, and shared some photos for a sneak peek (see below).

In "George to the Rescue," Oliphant, a Montclair resident, travels the country giving deserving families in need of home renovations makeovers. Two of the Marini family's three children live with Cockayne Syndrome, and their makeover was unveiled on National Rare Diseases Day.

This isn't the first time Oliphant has rescued a Morris County family: A Roxbury family got a custom make-over to make their home accessible for their 2-year-old with spina bifida two years ago.
