Ep 10. Don't Do It Yourself

In the season 5 finale of Buying and Selling, the Scott brothers are called in to help a couple whose DIY renovation has gone awry. Wanting to save money, the homeowners took on a kitchen renovation project themselves, but discovered they were in over their heads. The kitchen is left unfinished and the couple realizes that they need professional help to finish the job.

Drew and Jonathan Scott meet with the couple to assess the damage and come up with a plan to turn their kitchen disaster into a dream kitchen. With a budget of $100,000, the brothers aim to create a functional and stylish space that meets the couple's needs.

The first step is to correct the major DIY mistakes that were made. The Scott brothers quickly discover that the plumbing and electrical work is not up to code and needs to be redone. They also find that the cabinets and countertops that the couple installed themselves are not level and need to be replaced.

While the kitchen is being gutted, the Scott brothers take the couple on a tour of potential new homes. The couple initially wanted to renovate their current home to save money, but with the expenses that have come with their DIY disaster, they're now open to the idea of finding a move-in ready home.

Back at the renovation site, the Scott brothers work their magic to create a modern, open-concept kitchen. They install custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and a large island with seating. They also add new lighting fixtures and modern backsplash tiles that tie together the whole room.

As the renovation nears completion, the Scott brothers also focus their attention on the rest of the home. They update the living room with new furniture and decor, and give the master bedroom a fresh coat of paint. They even transform an unfinished basement into a cozy family room.

The big reveal finally arrives, and the couple is blown away by their beautiful new home. The kitchen is now a chef's dream, with plenty of counter space and high-end appliances. The rest of the home has been transformed into a stylish, comfortable space that the couple can truly call their own.

In the end, the Scott brothers helped the couple realize that sometimes it's better to leave major home renovations to the professionals. They were able to turn a kitchen disaster into a dream kitchen and create a home that the couple can enjoy for years to come.
