If you own a TV, you're likely aware that there is no shortage of reality television served up in all forms, including numerous real estate and home improvement programs. These shows are entertaining and engaging, and you should enjoy them as much as you like, but they are not great tools for planning your own renovation. As with any highly-produced program, home renovation shows, unfortunately, showcase a selective reality that's only possible with the magic of TV, a huge crew, and the clout of the cameras. When clients come through our door expecting the options, budget, and timeline reflected in their HGTV favourites, contractors are responsible for resetting reality. While we're happy to help any client understand the scope, cost, and timeline for the beautiful new space they've got in mind, starting our relationship with disappointment is never our preference. We want you to feel excited and empowered to begin an exciting upgrade and investment in your experience. Let's talk about the truth about HGTV & home improvement shows so that you can get realistic about your own home renovation project.
