Ep 4. Three Great Room Renovations in Denver

Three homeowners in Denver take on room renovations with vastly different budgets in this episode of Bang For Your Buck. Host and home design expert Monica Pedersen takes viewers through each renovation, highlighting the pros and cons of each project and revealing the final cost of each renovation.

First up is a couple looking to transform their outdated master bathroom. With a budget of $25,000, they hire a contractor to make some major changes including removing the bathtub and enlarging the shower. The couple also chooses high-end finishes including quartz countertops and a heated bathroom floor. But will their costly choices result in a significant increase in their home's value?

Next, a family decides to tackle their unfinished basement with a budget of $50,000. They bring in a designer to help them create a cozy and functional space for their growing family. The designer adds a bedroom, bathroom, and entertainment area complete with a built-in bar. But will the high cost of the renovation be worth it in the end?

Finally, a woman takes on a DIY renovation of her outdated kitchen with a budget of only $10,000. She opts to do most of the work herself, with the exception of hiring a contractor to install new countertops. She also chooses to keep the original cabinetry and update the hardware for a more modern look. But will her budget-friendly choices result in a significant increase in her home's value?

Throughout the episode, Pedersen provides her expert opinion on the design choices made by each homeowner and offers insights into what potential buyers may be looking for in each of these rooms. With such vastly different budgets, it will be interesting to see which homeowner gets the most bang for their buck.
