Judging

For Season 1: Each episode, home improvement and real estate experts will judge the final renovations of the homes. The couples will break down into two teams (Green Team and Gold Team). At the end of each build, the two teams will be judged on three of Mike's criteria: Quality, Creativity and Teamwork.

Experts:

  • John Gidding, Architect and Interior Designer, host of Curb Appeal
  • Danisha Danielle Hoston, Real Estate Broker and Investor

    • Season 2: At the end of each week, team members who received a red tag during work orders have to compete. The person who fails the competition will be cut from the show and their hero wins that week's house.
