Season 26, Episode 1

An Industrial Looking Home Is Transformed Into A Neighborhood Icon!

Designer John Gidding was driving by and fell in love with the style of the O'Neill's home, but clearly they are a perfect example of a house that just needs Curb Appeal. He approached them to see if they would be interested in receiving a Curb Appeal makeover and they were ecstatic! It turns out it was the uniqueness and modern aesthetic that drew them to this house, and they had big ideas for the outside when they bought it, but the reality of living in San Francisco with twin girls has left them with little funds to fix the place up. They love the neighborhood, love their neighbors, and want to make the neighborhood proud of this could-be architectural gem of the block... they just need John's vision to make it happen!

A Fixer Upper Gets a Major Fix Up!

Jeff and Simone are first-time home buyers who purchased a run-down craftsman bungalow - at first, were excited to get to work on the fixer-upper. Simone is a self-described DIY addict but to Jeff's dismay, she has yet to finish one of these projects. Their house is littered with displays of good intentions gone bad. Their front stoop stairs are partly sanded, a refurbished front door sits on their porch waiting to be installed, the yard is torn up and ready for landscaping, the kitchen cabinets are half painted with mismatched and missing knobs...the list goes on. Jeff knows the front yard is one project where they are in over their head. John and his team are here to help and who knows, maybe they can assist with those DIY disasters!

A Sportscaster Hosts Curb Appeal and the Entire Neighborhood Gets a Boost!

Being a local sports talk radio host doesn't leave Dan Dibley much free time to address the sad state of his family's front yard. The large tree in the front is dying while the lawn takes too much water to maintain in the summer and even at it's best, is little more than a lingering ground for neighborhood dogs. It's too small to use as an athletic venue but too big to ignore. They love this block, they love their neighbors, and wish they loved the outside of their home. The kids are getting old enough to where they are bringing friends over, and they really care about what friends think of the appearance of their home. Right now it's an embarrassment. Dan and Chanda want it to be a point of pride. It's never going to happen without the jumpstart of the Curb Appeal team!

Juniper Juggernaut to Jewel of the Block

Amy and Ken Miles live with their two young daughters in a tucked away Bay Area neighborhood called the Richmond Annex, a neighborhood that they describe as a hidden and underrated gem. There exists is a true sense of community circa 1950's...which was around the time when their house was built, and it shows. The facade is two toned, though not on purpose, the last owner just didn't properly match the paint color on the bottom portion of the siding. The porch is dated and dangerous, and the yard has been taken over by juniper. The far-reaching juniper is the first (and maybe the only) thing anyone sees when approaching the busy corner. Their house is the entrance to their street at a four-way stop and they would like to represent their block better than they do now. They would love for visitors and neighbors to see the actual house, for one, and some garden interest--something that captures their love for the neighborhood.
