The nail-biting competition series spotlighted three skilled teams of up-and-coming home renovators coached by celebrated mentors and design experts Taniya Nayak (Build it Forward), Ty Pennington (Rock the Block) and Alison Victoria (Windy City Rehab). With help from their mentors, the teams worked to complete weekly renovation challenges in three 1,500-square-foot seaside homes - each within a tight $80,000 renovation budget. Judged by Bryan and Sarah Baeumler (Renovation Island), the team who added the most value to their home clinched the $50,000 cash prize.
