HGTV has been cranking out entertaining home renovation shows for almost 30 years (viaHGTV).
“With all the news in the world right now, it feels like a really nice escape.
Viewers love the fantasy of working with hefty budgets to see jaw-dropping transformations made to homes.
Let’s take a look at some of the most incredible home transformations in HGTV history!
The couple agreed that most investors wouldn’t consider such a damaged home.
“That’s what makes us different.
That’s what separates us from the rest,“Kate said.
They typically flip about 15-20 houses per year (viaCleveland Magazine).
The Lakewood home was completely reconfigured and the team profited $72,000 on the sale.
Thomas felt that prior to renovation the house had barely any value.
The designers had a rehab budget of $60,000 to bring the abandoned home back to life.
“This is going to be my weird house,” Bynum joked.
The renovation took about eight weeks, and the design team added countless unique accents.
“Safety is a concern,” said the homeowner, retired basketball pro Adam Hess.
Upon the reveal, Hess and his wife, Julia, were thrilled at the outcome.
“I can say this looks exactly how I pictured it,” said Hess.
They love the community of Bentonville, where their design jobs take place.
Everyone is very welcoming, very open more so than anywhere I’ve lived.”
The mill transformation is still one of the design couple’s favorite renovations ever.
In February 2020, Jenny posted, “Remember this historic mill turned fairy-tale cabin in the woods?
It’s still one of my favorites from the first season of #fixertofab!”
Builder Jasmine Roth helps homeowners who are in over their heads on “Help!
I Wrecked My House.”
Roth helped the couple focus on the strange layout of the home.
“I’m here to help you build your happy home,” Roth said on herblog.
“Oh, Mina.
I’m a little overwhelmed with excitement here,” said Karen at the first walk-through (viaHGTV).
Some of that budget-busting was brought on by a foundation that needed more repair than originally anticipated.
Starsiak listed the Old Southside home in 2019, and it sold for $289,000, according toZillow.
In the listing, she highlighted the open design with original design features.
She also mentioned the outdoor living spaces.
In 2022, with the housing market surge, Zillow estimates the home to be worth over $350,000.
But this renovation price tag climbed quickly throughout the course of the remodel.
HGTV featured this renovation as the biggestbudget-busting renovationof the series and thebiggest transformationof the series.
The home’s stunning ocean view, its star feature, took the couple by surprise.
Upon entering the front door for the first time, Tarek exclaimed, “Wow!
We have never bought a house like this.
I’m in love” (viaHGTV).
“I have plans for literally every house on the block,” confessed Bynum (viaHGTV).
But Bynum and Thomas knew this house was going to present its share of challenges.
Although the camper came with the house, Bynum and Thomas had it listed for sale separately in 2020.
On Bynum’sInstagram, he posted, “The fabulous camper is listed!!”
The renovated space includes an open kitchen concept with a redesigned master bedroom and loft space.
I’ve never seen that to be the case.”
In the meantime, the owners are having no problems keeping the house booked throughAirBnBat $325/night.
The salvaging wasn’t enough to save the budget, though.
They want to see where the show was filmed.”
Erin said, “It was just a house.
It was a pretty extensive renovation, considering the budget was so small.
“I think houses like this make my artistic background shine,“she said.
I’ve never seen anything like this” (viaHGTV).
Most importantly, the designers spent $40,000 and an extra six weeks on the extensive foundation repair.
The contractor held all other renovation projects until the foundation work was complete.
Ultimately, the investment risk they took paid off, and the couple profited $107,650!
Jenny and Dave Marrs helped the Elliotts completely transform the historic 1902 home.
The original design was typical of the time period, but opposite of the modern open concept.
Jenny and Dave took out the archways, opened up the design, and added modern conveniences.
But most importantly, they improved the curb appeal of the home by going back in time.
They restored the roof to its former, non-leaky glory, and rebuilt the original wrap-around porch.
