Ep 5. Trashy to Flashy

After successfully flipping numerous houses, the Desert Flippers, Eric and Lindsey, return for another episode of their second season. In episode five, named Trashy to Flashy, the duo embark on a new project in the Greater Palm Springs Area of California.

The episode follows Eric and Lindsey as they take on a house that is in desperate need of some TLC. The house in question is located in the heart of a historic neighborhood and has been on the market for almost a year. With no takers, the house is in disrepair, and the sellers are eager to get rid of it.

Upon their arrival, the Desert Flippers are not deterred by the dilapidated state of the property as they see it as an opportunity to turn Trashy to Flashy. They have a vision for the house and are determined to transform it into a modern-day masterpiece. However, as they begin work on the house, they discover that it has some major problems that make it an even more formidable challenge.

One major issue that they encounter is the presence of asbestos in the walls and ceiling, which was a common occurrence back in the day but is now a health risk. They immediately call in an expert to test the house for the presence of asbestos, and the results confirm their fears. To make the house livable, Eric and Lindsey must first remove all traces of asbestos and install new insulation. This is a time-consuming and costly process that sets them back both in terms of time and budget.

However, it doesn't stop there. The house has other problems that include a faulty electrical system, outdated plumbing, and structural issues. But Eric and Lindsey are not deterred. They are determined to give the house the makeover that it desperately needs.

As they begin work on the house, Eric and Lindsey's design skills are on full display. They transform the interior and exterior of the house using an array of modern design elements and upgrades. They replace the old, worn-out carpets with hardwood floors, update the plumbing and electrical installations, and give all surfaces a new coat of paint. The result is a modern, sophisticated, and stylish home that anyone would be proud to own.

It's not just the design of the house that's impressive. The Desert Flippers' dedication to the project is also noteworthy. Despite the numerous challenges they face, they work tirelessly to ensure that the house is completed on time and to the satisfaction of the homeowners.

In the end, Eric and Lindsey's hard work pays off as the house is transformed from Trashy to Flashy. The house looks amazing, and the homeowners are thrilled with the result. The Desert Flippers prove once again that, with the right vision and determination, any house can be turned into a beautiful home.
