For the second season of Battle on the Beach, host of Rock the Block, Ty Pennington, mentored business partners Jacqueline Matoza and Wally Remaley. Real estate investor Jaqueline and contractor Wally have teamed up on three flipped houses and are bringing their partnership to Surfside Beach, Texas.

Wally and Jacqueline went up against two other strong teams: Roosevelt and Brandyn, a father-son duo mentored by Taniya Nayak of Build It Forward, and married couple Corey and Paige who teamed up with Alison Victoria of Windy City Rehab. Each team had six weeks to renovate a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house. The homes had a starting value of $515,000, and the teams were given $80,000 to see who could add the most value to their homes.

Right away, Jacqueline was excited about the vaulted ceiling and wanted to make the most of it. They also decided to make the kitchen space slightly smaller by moving the back wall forward to make room for a half bathroom. Though they’d tackled more intense renovations, they’d never worked under such a tight timeline. “We have six weeks, and this is going to be all-day, all-night working,” said Wally.

Say so long to the enclosed pantry. The team removed the walls to make way for a solid wall of cabinets — in a striking deep green tone. “We’re going bold with our cabinets by choosing a darker color and brass hardware,” explained Wally. A huge island takes centerstage and provides space for prepping, eating and entertaining.
