Ep 3. Curb Appeal Catastrophe

In season 4 episode 3 of Texas Flip N' Move titled "Curb Appeal Catastrophe," viewers witness a thrilling renovation project taken by two teams of house flippers. The episode starts with the groups scoping out a condemned property, both salivating at the potential profits they could make from the flip. The winner of the property competition must transform a dilapidated three-bedroom home located near downtown Fort Worth, Texas, into an irresistible family abode.

The competition's dynamic is the same as in previous episodes of the series: each team has their unique advantages and disadvantages, but everyone has a good eye for detail. The featured teams are Randy and Casey's Snow sisters, and Gary and Jerry's Lone Wolf Renovations. They both offer different flipping styles, Randy and Casey opting for a light and bright palette, whereas Gary and Jerry opting for a darker and more rustic vibe. However, the teams share the same commitment to the ultimate goal: boost the home's curb appeal and increase its value as much as possible.

From the get-go, the teams are struggling with the city's codes and regulations, as the crack in the foundation means that the structure would have to be held up by piers, delaying the renovation process. Additionally, the teams struggle to secure their permits on time, which is a recurring problem for them. They wrestle access to their rented dumpster and even run into structural challenges while shiplapping the exterior of the house. Perhaps the most significant obstacle, however, is the lack of inspection permits from the city, which forces teams to use their knowledge and intuition to complete key phases of the renovation abruptly.

Randy and Casey come out swinging, deciding to add generous portions of color and whimsy to the property. They opt for a light-colored exterior, painting the property with an eye-catching blend of blue and beige. The wood accents of the property feature a lighter shade that contrasts beautifully with the blue tones. The team's main objective is to restore the modernity of the house through contemporary wall treatments, high-quality backslash, and new contemporary furniture. The range of their work is broad, and the team goes through every single detail to maintain the charm and functionality of every space.

Gary and Jerry's design approach is primarily rustic and dark, with a more traditional appeal. The exterior of the property is painted a warm gray color which complements the stony color of the wood accents. The team takes a different route than the Snow sisters and focuses on making sure that the interior is attractive and welcoming. The team opts for calming gray and white hues, as well as dark wood surfaces, which give the property a more rustic look. Their main objective is to increase the house's value by using top-quality materials, leather surfaces, and other unique statement pieces that give the property a unique personality.

As the renovation progresses, the teams overcome challenges and obstacles, including the looming deadline and the lack of permission from the city. But both teams work hard and overcome these difficulties, leading to two exciting and unique properties that are entirely different from one another.

Finally, it is time for the judges to step in and select the winner of the challenge, and this week's pick comes down to the duo with the most impressive curb appeal. The properties' range of features is such that the judges have a tough time choosing the winner, with both houses, offering fantastic highlights that cater to different aesthetics.

Overall, Texas Flip N' Move is an entertaining, informative, and rewarding television series that features teams of talented, creative, and dedicated home renovators, house flippers, and builders. From the stunning exterior and captivating interior design to the impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail, the show has something for everyone who enjoys learning about the ins and outs of house flipping while being entertained.
