After watching an episode HGTV’s Fixer Upper or Property Brothers, I’m ofttimes left wondering close a bedroom—or fifty-fifty an entire floor—that clearly needed work, nevertheless wasn’t shown inwards the lastly reveal. Did the homeowners simply rhythm out out 100 grand for a half-completed house?

HGTV is notoriously cloak-and-dagger close the behind-the-scenes scoop on its shows, but the Scott brothers, hosts of Property Brothers together with Buying & Selling, create offering closed to answers on their website: “The homeowners create upward one's hear which areas of the solid they would similar to focus on. We desire to capture their consummate sense of finding together with creating their dream abode together with inwards an hr episode nosotros tin exclusively exhibit then much. That beingness said, Jonathan together with his squad ordinarily finished the entire home.” 

So inwards the illustration of the twin-brother team, at least, the exhibit is exclusively documenting a fraction of the renovation—and the budget beingness discussed is exclusively roofing that piece of job of the project. “After the viewing parts are fully renovated, the squad goes dorsum to the residue of the solid to ensure buyers create got their dream home,” according to a profile of the Scott brothers on Newsvine. The segment you lot run across on enshroud ordinarily takes 4 to half dozen weeks to complete, though, inwards the existent world, an project of that size would require closer to 10 to 12 weeks of work, the brothers say. 

What close unseen rooms on the smash-hit Fixer Upper? In an interview amongst Hooked on Houses, Joanna Gaines revealed that she together with married adult man Chip sometimes exclusively focus on priority rooms, due to clients’ budget restraints, leaving the homeowners to brand cosmetic updates—think epitome together with installing carpet—after the exhibit has wrapped. “Other times, nosotros destination the spaces for them subsequently the let out together with this is split from the budget shown for TV,” she said. “We assist them destination their renovation fifty-fifty when the cameras aren’t rolling.
