1x1 - Welcome to the Neighborhood!
July 9, 2014
Host Carter Oosterhouse welcomes three teams of renovation experts to Cincinnati, Ohio where they are each given a dilapidated rowhouse and the task to transform one room each week. The teams start off with a shocking tour of their rundown property and immediately start tearing down walls and opening up rooms. The first assignment is to completely renovate the living room, but they only have four days to do it and each team must quickly define their style; Dan and Katie create a "moditional" space, while Ted and Krys introduce the judges to "lumberjack sexy" and Geoff and Josh look to impress with their signature "coastal elegance" motif.
1x2 - How Suite It Is...
July 16, 2014
The teams take on the master bedrooms and adjoining suite but it's up to them to decide what will result in the highest property evaluation; a bathroom, a dressing area or walk in closet? They consider their neighborhood and target market as they decide what will increase the appeal of their home the most. Dan and Katie keep it simple but Ted and Krystal start to show signs of being in over their heads and Geoff and Josh learn the hard way that walls don't paint themselves.
1x3 - Dining Room Surprise
July 23, 2014
In the spirit of rejuvenating the surrounding community, this week's challenge comes with a twist: instead of making over the dining rooms in their own homes, each team will go out and renovate a dining room in the neighborhood. To make things more interesting, the teams have to depend on their clients design wishes and will only have their carpenters to assist them, leaving the rest of the work to be done by them. Dan and Katie struggle with focus and inspiration, the stress between Ted and Krystal puts a strain on their relationship and after getting a harsh critique Geoff and Josh learn to shut up and get to work.

1x6 - Bonus Room
August 13, 2014
The teams' flipping and real estate knowledge is put to the test when they get to design their home's bonus room.

Sick of playing second fiddle to Josh and Geoff, Dan and Katie decide to switch up their design approach. Meanwhile, new team Alana and Anya get a rude welcome.
1x7 - Battle of the Backyards

1x9 - Curb Appeal
September 3, 2014
Teams have one last chance to make a first impression. It's time to pull it all together by finishing the front yard and facade of the house.
