Twinning Is Winning
After the success of her last Charles Street home, Mina decides to create a twin property by duplicating the floorplan and adding a cabin chic vibe. But with one failed inspection after another, the team faces delays that place the entire project at risk.
Poltergeist Property
Mina and Karen take on a massive house in the Old Southside neighborhood that has undergone some unsuccessful renovations throughout the years. They are determined to rework the entire floor plan, but their renovations are halted when they hear unexplained noises in the attic, discover a collapsing floor and uncover live termites. In order to get a payoff as big as the house, they'll have to work through a hair-raising renovation to bring this house back to life.
Risky Reno with Historic Charm
Despite its odd layout and decrepit state, Mina and Karen are taking on an old house with a ton of historic charm in the Old Southside neighborhood. As framing starts, the crew uncovers a major structural problem that hits the budget hard, and later, Mina gets some bad news that could threaten a huge selling point of the house. But when the renovation is complete, this charmer offers all the comforts of modern living blended with antique pieces like vintage front doors and a restored curved staircase.
Scary to Chic in Old Southside
With her son in tow and another baby on the way, Mina returns to Old Southside where she and Karen aim to turn a creepy, insect-infested lot into a chic oasis for a new family. Along the way, they make a sentimental connection to the home's past owner.
Cottage Becomes Artistic Oasis
A couple that runs a nonprofit benefiting the Garfield Park neighborhood enlists Mina and Karen to make over one of their dilapidated properties. The team must work together to make sure the home comes in under budget and helps an artist in need.
Eclectic Artistry in Garfield Park
Garfield Park is a haven for artists, so Mina and Karen think it's the perfect place for an art-filled renovation. Between the house's nightmarish texture and their tight budget, they'll need some creativity to turn this home into an eclectic dreamscape.
From Warehouse to Storefront
Mina and Karen have returned to the Bates-Hendricks neighborhood to turn an old warehouse into their first retail store. The rundown building needs an enormous amount of work, and they'll need the entire team to reveal their biggest project to date.
The Greenwich Village Townhome
Mina and Karen return to Old Southside to renovate the right side of their duplex townhome using a Greenwich Village design. Karen shares a major announcement about her position in the company, and the ramifications of that change quickly come to light.
From Teardown to Italian Treasure
After buying a home sight unseen in Old Southside, Mina and Karen soon realize they need to tear the whole building down. Then, the duo works to figure out how to make a new build on the tiny lot feel like a charming Italian villa that buyers will love.
New Babies and New Neighborhoods
Mina and Karen's first house in the new Near Eastside neighborhood seems too good to be true, and shortly after demo, their renovation plans begin to crumble. With Mina's baby arriving soon, the pressure is on to keep this home from becoming a disaster.
Quaint Cottage With Vintage Vibes
Mina and Karen are back in Fountain Square with a quaint but expensive cottage-like home. In order to list this pricey property high enough to make a profit, they must figure out how to add plenty of bells and whistles without losing its vintage charm.
The Wedding Studio
Mina tackles her biggest challenge yet as she renovates her best friend's 6,000 square foot bridal shop. This could be the project that jump-starts more high-end commercial renos, and with only 60 days to the grand opening, Mina and the team must deliver.
DIY Reno Rescue
Mina and Karen are called to help their friends transform their traditional home, but their ideas are dependent on the local historical society. They expand the dining room and kitchen, and convert the master into a gorgeous en suite.
Twinning Is Winning
After the success of her last Charles Street home, Mina decides to create a twin property by duplicating the floorplan and adding a cabin chic vibe. But with one failed inspection after another, the team faces delays that place the entire project at risk.
A Charred Charmer for Cory
Mina and Karen are tackling a 100-year-old home that's endured a severe fire and foundational damage. Cory loves its potential and is interested in making this his permanent home, but the costly list of extreme challenges may cause him to get burned.
Little But Luxurious
Mina and the team are back in the Valley to build one of their smallest homes yet. With a driveway-sized property that's only 16 feet wide, the team must figure out how to create a long and skinny new build that packs all the luxury for a potential buyer.

Smelly Shotgun House to Chic Downtown Home
Mina Starsiak and Karen E. Laine take on an old shotgun-style home near downtown Indianapolis, and even though they've been renovating shotgun homes for years, this house is quite the stinker -- literally. Demo day becomes a test of bad smells they will never forget, and Mina's brother, Tad, learns the basics of framing a house and installing decorative wall tiles. Hoping to sell the home to their friend who owns a wedding dress studio, Mina and Karen tailor the decor to match her taste and create a DIY project from wedding dress material. But when they find out their renovated house isn't up to code, there's a chance they won't be able to finish it on time and on budget.
A Backyard Barn for Karen
Karen and Mina are tackling a special project, Karen's new barn-shaped guesthouse that she has been dreaming of for years. But before construction begins, the women get some devastating permit news from the city, forcing them to rethink the size of the structure. On the inside, Karen has tons of ideas about how to add her own special touches, and with the budget in her hands for a change, she's determined to make it the guesthouse of her dreams.
Old Doors, New Wall
Mina and Karen work on a duplex unit that's riddled with trash and interesting surprises, including a wall made entirely out of old doors. However, further problems arise when Cory discovers a foundation issue no one saw coming.
MJ's Dream Home
Two Chicks and a Hammer's design assistant, MJ, and his husband recently bought their first home, and Mina and Karen want to make MJ's dreams a reality. The duo works to blend traditional and modern styles, but MJ may have to compromise to stay in budget.
