Ep 13. Dark and Dingy

In Flip or Flop season 7 episode 13, titled "Dark and Dingy," house flipping experts Tarek and Christina take on a new project in Anaheim, California. The home they purchase is a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom house with a dark and dingy interior. The house was built in the 1950s and hasn't been updated in decades.

Tarek and Christina see the potential in the house and plan to completely remodel it to make it more modern and appealing to potential buyers. However, the house has some major issues that they must address before they can begin the renovations.

The first issue they encounter is a termite infestation. The termites have caused significant damage to the framing and foundation of the house, which will require extensive repairs. The second issue is the outdated electrical system, which could pose a safety hazard. Tarek and Christina decide to bring in a team of experts to address these problems before they begin the renovations.

Once the major issues are addressed, Tarek and Christina begin the demolition process. They completely gut the interior of the house, taking down walls and removing outdated fixtures and appliances. They also install new plumbing and electrical systems, as well as new insulation.

One of the biggest challenges they face is the layout of the house. The original floor plan is awkward and doesn't flow well. To solve this problem, Tarek and Christina decide to open up the living room and kitchen area to create a more spacious and open floor plan. They also create a master suite by combining two of the bedrooms and adding a new bathroom.

As they work on the house, Tarek and Christina encounter a few unexpected surprises. They discover that the ceiling in one of the bedrooms is lower than they anticipated, which means they'll have to lower the entire ceiling in that room. They also discover that the flooring in one of the bathrooms is uneven, which requires them to level it out before they can install new tile.

Despite these challenges, Tarek and Christina remain determined to finish the project on time and within budget. They choose modern finishes and fixtures for the house, including new stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, and granite countertops.

As the project nears completion, Tarek and Christina are excited to show off the finished product to potential buyers. The house is transformed from a dark and dingy home to a modern and stylish living space. They are confident that their hard work and attention to detail will pay off when they put it on the market.

Overall, "Dark and Dingy" is an exciting episode of Flip or Flop that showcases Tarek and Christina at their best. They encounter numerous challenges throughout the renovation process, but their expertise and determination ultimately lead to a successful project. Fans of the show will enjoy watching the transformation of the house and seeing the finished product.
