Their mother
is in the basement.

In the lower level suite.

- Ooh-la-la!
- Oh,

this is very nice.

This is like another primary.

She won't wanna leave.

I thought that you were
kind of on my side.

I love you,
but never on your side.

I have to convince
Taylor to stay.

This wall has to go,
or we go.

We're gonna lose Taylor.

That's where
my creative genius

is gonna have to come in.

Sounds like
you're gonna be moving.

You brought me in
for a reason,

and I'm going to deliver.

- Right?
- Are we jumping in?

It's ugly. I don't like it.

And I have
to convince Nicky to move.

Don't know
about the carpeting.

-I'll rip it out.
-That ain't free.

You are getting back
your basement.

We do like a bar,
I'll be honest.

Can you
imagine what summers
would be like here?

Why wait for those things
when you can have them today?

This transformation
is going to blow your mind.

-Oh, my gosh!
-Holy!

Never in my wildest dreams.

Are you gonna love it?

Or are you going to list it?

My name is Taylor.

My name is Nicky.

I feel a very strong emotional
connection to this house.

Both of my baby girls
came home here,

and I wanna continue
to grow in this house.

We thought we could grow
into it as a family,

but our... our layout
doesn't work for us.

This is our
main floor bathroom,
quite small.

Could use an update.

Our kitchen is dated.

I'm the cook in the house,
and I can't see

the children playing.

This space used to be
our formal dining room,

and I wish
it was our dining area.

But we have
completely lost control.

We have no storage
on the main floor.

Uh, it's just
not working for us.

This basement used to be
my beautiful man cave.

Used to have
a lovely little bar area.

This is no longer my space
down here.

It is Grandma Carol's space.

When I went back
to work,

we needed someone
to do daycare,

and Carol
gracefully volunteered.

This is Grandma Carol's bed.

I absolutely hate having
my mother in the basement,

and no matter what we do here,

she still will be
in the basement

'cause we don't have
that extra bedroom
on the second floor.

I wanna move
because of square footage.

You can change the layout,
but the size is the size,

that... that can't change.

This house can totally work,

and once the basement's done,
it'll be great.

-Wow.
-This is so nice out here.

This is quite the park,

and their house
is, like, literally, like,
two minutes from here.

I mean, this is
the perfect area for them.

There's absolutely
no reason to move.

They wanna leave the house

'cause the house doesn't work
for them anymore.

The great thing
about this area

is there's tons of parks.

You know, there's gonna be
other options out there.

I don't know.

And how expensive
are those options?

Guess we'll see.

Listen, I can run
in these heels, you know?

- After you.
- Thank you. Thank you so much.

Oh.

What?

A lot of stuff.

I will give them one thing.

- What's that?
- They are neat.

Very neat because Nicky's
a schoolteacher.

So, this was probably
the dining room.

But you got to imagine
this is not what they want.

Like, who would want
their first space

that you walk into to be
basically a toy store?

Living room-dining room combo.

I see, I see.

I know what I see.

A family room.

Oh, an open-concept kitchen.

Almost.

My gosh,
there's toys in here, too.

Oh, they have
a second kitchen.

Adding value,
aren't you happy?

Put that downstairs,
you could probably
rent it out.

Well, I'll say this,
the kids have taken over.

-Yeah.
-And that's
a little concerning.

- The sink is concerning me.
- -Corner sink.

Look at their pantry, see?

Did you just call
that a pantry, Page?

I did.

-It's Page's pantry.
-It's a shelf.

It's not a pantry.

It's their pantry.

- Backyard?
- Yeah.

- Let's have a look.
- Oh.

It's quaint.

- It's quaint and cute.
- -Keep your family together,

you can see your kids
from every corner.

- You can see, like, 15 houses.
- -Don't look up.

You just have to keep
your eyes on each other.

Okay.

Family room.

Space
where everybody gathers.

I mean, if you're sitting here
for the movie, you're fine.

If you're sitting over there
or over there...

- Let me just see.
- ...not so fun.

Is that the way
you watch a movie, Page?

I couldn't watch
a commercial like that.

I could try.

I don't see a light fixture.
That's why it's so dark.

There's no fixture.

- After you.
- All right,

to the basement.

There's more light down here
than upstairs.

It's actually not a basement.

- What is it, then?
- It's a bedroom.

Well, you know,
their mother-in-law

lives here part-time
to help with the kids.

-Which is incredibly awesome.
-So great.

This used to be
Taylor's man cave.

I see, it's no longer
his man cave.

And never will be again.

This is still Taylor's stuff.

It's not inviting.

It still feels like
she's in a storage unit.

- Just doors and privacy.
- Yeah.

But we definitely want
mom-in-law comfortable
and peaceful.

That's where
my creative genius
is gonna have to come in.

There's storage,
but it's also the laundry.

And you have the bathroom.

It's not bad.
I mean, you know...

-What?
-Is this a foot wash?

It's not a foot wash.

That's how you test the water
before you turn the shower on.

- No, it's not.
- Yes, it is.

This is a thing out here
in these parts?

This is a bathtub faucet.

No, it's... it's for testing.

You're trying to mess up
my design already.

I'm not gonna go for it.

Let's go see where the kids
and the parents are.

Okay.

Ooh, pink.

- Ooh!
- So, a good-size room.

Yeah. All right,
onto bedroom two.

Ooh, the purple room.

Really cute,
but a lot of stuff.

Bathroom, hall bath.

-Well...
-Tiny.

It's tiny, it's dark.

Well, this is
for two kids, right?

And it is pretty small,
and as they grow,

it will get even smaller.

Ooh, the main bedroom.

The main bedroom.

Oh, wait, oh, no.

I have to make
my double-door entrance.

Hold on.

You have double doors, David,
you have to do this.

Ah! See that?

Every time you walk through
a double door,

it has to be done.

It's nice to have the space

-to be able
to have double doors.
-It is.

-It's a big room.
Look at this.
-It absolutely is.

It looks like they've
got a good closet.

Oh, it should be...

Mm-hmm, it's a walk-in.

And the bathroom.

Bathroom, so you've got
the soaker tub.

- That they're using as?
- Storage.

A little dated. You've got,
hmm, a single vanity.

-You've got the shower with--
-Shower.

Okay, yeah,
the shower's very dark.

-Ooh, no, no, no,
no, no, no.
-What?

There's a whole spider
in there.

Is this the kids' toilet?

-It's-- Hold on.
-It does look like it.

Yeah, my knees
don't work.

-Whoa!
-Yeah, that's not an easy one

-to get down and up from.
-That's a long way down.

- Yeah.
- This is a lot.

So, you got your hands full.

You got kids' stuff to fix.

You got mother-in-law's
stuff to fix.

You got parents' stuff to fix.

You know what?
For two seconds,

I thought that you were
kind of on my side.

Now I realize you were
just reminding me

of how much work I have to do.

Yeah, I'm never
on your side, Page.

I love you,
but never on your side.

I think David might have
the advantage on this one.

Yes, in this neighborhood,

there are some more
custom homes

that will give them
all the bells and whistles

that they want,
that they don't have.

But it's gonna come
at a huge price tag.

I don't even know
where to begin
with this house.

Yeah, I'm afraid.

But don't count me out
just yet.

Hey, Nicky. Hey, Taylor.

-Page.
-Thank you for having us
at your office today.

You're welcome.
You're welcome.

- You're welcome.
- Good.

And thank you for having us
through your house, also.

- Yes. Thank you, guys,
for coming down.
- Yeah, excited.

Talk about your home.

- We're excited.
- Yes.

Which we have
been through.

I think the main problem

you guys have
is square footage.

Yep, 100%.

I think the space is there.

Reorganize some things.
Rearrange, reimagine

how you're living
in your house.

Because you have enough
square footage right now.

But do you want his mother
in the basement?

We'll get it back, eventually.

-Listen, you--
-"Eventually." How about
getting it back today?

Why wait?

Why wait for those things
when you can have them today?

We need real square footage.

Okay, and that's what
I'm gonna deliver.

- Now, Taylor...
- Yes.

...what is your list
so that you'll stay?

So,
definite open concept,

new kitchen as well.

Redo the floors.

The basement,
where my mom presides,

nice, uh, bedroom
for her down there,

a nice space for her.

We need to redo
that whole bathroom as well.

And then our
en suite bathroom,

- complete renovation...
- Yes.

- ...and storage throughout the whole house.
- -Yes.

-What is the budget?
-$115,000.

Dollars? That's a lot
of money.

But for your list,
$115,000 is tight.

I definitely don't
wanna overpromise

and underdeliver with that.

I will work
with what you give me.

All right,
all we can ask

and when it's not
quite enough, David,

you'll find us that property?

Sounds like
you're gonna be moving,

- that's what it sounds like.
- See?

-Yeah, that sounds
good, David.
-I gotta tell you,

this conversation,
I don't think there's any way,

but out of that house.

Uh, current value is $750,000.

Yeah, that's about
right, I think.

All right, Nicky,
you've got a list for me.

Must-haves to list:

four bedrooms upstairs,

three bathrooms definitely,

including a beautiful
en suite.

- I need a nice oasis.
- Yep.

Open concept
entire main floor.

Finished basement.

I guess if we're moving,

you can have a man cave.

Bigger backyard,
two-car garage.

We definitely need storage.

- But the one tricky thing is...
- -Yes?

...I love the location,

do not wanna leave
the neighborhood.

- Hmm.
- All right.

So, what's the budget

- for the new house?
- Hmm?

$880,000.

- $880,000?
- Yeah.

I will work with that budget.

But remember, you asked me
for a four-bedroom,

two-car garage house.
That's--

That is a bigger house
than what you currently have.

Yes, that's true.

So, I will do my best,

and, uh, we will be
in touch soon.

-Yeah.
-Sounds good.

-All right.
-It was so great
to see you guys.

-Thank you, guys. You, too.
-All right.

Thank you.

I'll be honest,
I think they need

what they asked from you
and more.

I don't-- I can't see
that house

-working for them long-term.
-You-- Listen.

Their mother
is in the basement.

In the lower level suite.

- It's a basement, Page.
- It is,

that I will make
a beautiful lower level suite.

Listen, I'm going to leave
so I can go to work.

- All right.
- See you later.

Can't stomach the truth, huh?

No, I'm gonna take your cup.

Can't handle
the truth!

- Okay, bye, Page. See ya.
- See you later.

She can't handle it.

- Matt.
- -Hey, Page, how are you?

- New haircut?
- New haircut.

When do you have time
to do that?

-Well, it looks good.
-It's getting hot.

- Thank you.
- It is getting hot.

This house is super cute.

I'm gonna have fun in here.

- Let's just start in the basement.
- -All right.

All right,
to the basement we go.

We're gonna work our way up.

-So, Taylor's mom
stays with them...
-Mm-hmm.

...four days a week.

- So I want this area to be her bedroom.
- -Okay.

We'll have to do
an egress window.

- Bring that up to code.
- Yeah, we can do that.

Here's
the full bathroom.

I wouldn't wanna be
in this bathroom.

It's a little cramped.

I was thinking
we could take some space
from this laundry room,

move the toilet and the door,

give them a bigger shower.

Okay, that's doable.

Let's go upstairs.

They want an open concept,
of course.

So, I'm going to get rid
of this knee wall

- and unify the floor.
- Take down the wall

between the kitchen
and the playroom,

eliminate that corner sink
and window in the kitchen,

and then I'll extend
the run of the cabinets

- right across to the corner.
- Bring in all-new appliances,

and give them
an amazing island.

They use this as their
family room right now.

But I want their family room
to be in the living room area.

- That whole area?
- That whole area.

-Yep, and then--
-And the dining here?

You got it.

There's a fireplace
that they don't use,

so I want it gone.
I wanna do

some built-in storage.

And then this is
their new family room

since we're gonna flip-flop it

-and put their dining room
on that side.
-Right.

Wall down,

now we have
a nice, big open concept.

Which is a requirement
from them.

Let's go upstairs.

- This hall bath--
- Kids' bathroom?

- Yep.
- We're just gonna refresh.

The main bedroom,
it's huge, right?

And then you come
in the bathroom,

and the bathroom is smaller

for that size bedroom.

So, I want to steal space
from their walk-in closet

right here to enlarge
this bathroom,

and I'll do built-ins instead.

Move the toilet,

get rid of this tub
that they don't use anyway.

Epic shower, double vanity.

There's a lot involved
with moving that toilet.

It could be
bulkheads downstairs.

You know, we're talking
about moving vanity
plumbing over there,

probably electrical.

It's a lot up here.

But it's something
that I have to do.

All right,
let's go back downstairs.

Okay, that concludes
my tour, sir.

We have $115,000.

Feedback, questions, concerns?

I love the design,

but I think we can't do it all
for that amount of money.

- Hmm, hmm, hmm.
- -Two load-bearing walls coming down.

These are the only two
interior walls in this house.

So we know we're gonna have
plumbing, electrical,

we're gonna have HVAC
in both of them.

Even Nicky, who wants to stay,

was like, "I have to have
an open concept."

I'll look into
what it's gonna take

- to take them both down.
- Mm-hmm.

But I think we should
start thinking about,

it's one or the other.

I don't think there's any way
we fit it all in the budget.

Okay.

We are five minutes
from Nicky and Taylor's house,

and this house
is going to give them
a lot more elbow room.

It's 3,500 square feet,

four bedrooms, four bathrooms

with the potential for more.

Nice open-concept main floor.

Lots of natural light
coming in,

a great eat-in kitchen.

Backyard,

instead of looking at houses,
it's got a much better view.

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

So, five minutes
from your house.

I like that it's close
to our house. It's big.

You know what that means?

Lots of space,
lots of bedrooms.

Nobody's gonna be
in the basement.

-Trust me.
-We'll see.

Let's go have a look.

- After you.
- Thank you.

Oh, my gosh!

- I know.
- It's one of those "oh, my gosh" kind of things, isn't it?

Look at how much
space is here.

- It's great.
- -I like the open concept.

I'm into that, for sure.

You've got
a great formal dining room.

I mean, right now, you've got
a daycare center going on.

So, we can have
our own dining room

and have actually meals.

And you've got access
to your two-car garage.

Yeah, so I can actually park
my car in the garage again.

And main floor laundry.

This is great.

And here you have
the open concept
and connection

that I know that you want.

Look at this.

- Perfect open concept.
- Oh, my gosh,

- look at the island!
- I know.

I see
a golf course outside.

That is your backyard.

It backs onto a golf course.

It is
a beautiful view.

I will absolutely
give you that.

I love being able
to be in the kitchen,

- cooking, prepping and be able to see the kids, great.
- -Yeah.

Absolutely love
the kitchen.

We got
a lot more to see.

So let's head upstairs.

Beautiful windows everywhere,

so there's lots
of natural light coming in.

Yes, I like that.

Second floor.

- Which is carpeted?
- Yeah.

Listen, I'll fully admit,

I'm not a fan
of carpeting, either.

Grandma Carol is no longer
going to be in the basement.

She's going to have her own
bedroom with a door,

good-size storage,
and her own bathroom.

It's got everything
that she would need.

- Oh, nice.
- It's nice.

Don't know
about the carpeting.

I'll rip it out.

Put in some hardwood
or some lemon in.

That ain't free.

Bedroom number two.

It's a good-size room.

Which is fantastic
for growing into.

And their bathroom,
right across the way.

They get
their own sinks!

Less fighting, double sinks.

- Separate toilet, which is nice.
- -That's nice!

Bedroom number three.

This is much bigger

than our youngest
daughter's bedroom.

- Yes. Let's see your bedroom.
- All right.

Ooh-la-la!

Oh! Look at the window!

I know,
and look at that view.

- Yeah.
- It's gorgeous.

And you turn around

and you've basically got
everything that you need.

- Like, two walk-in closets.
- Yes.

- Love it.
- -So now it's separated.

Well, I'll actually get
a closet.

And then
you have your bathroom,

which is also perfect
for two people to share.

- I like it.
- The shower's nice.

Looking good.

I just love
the double vanity.

I can actually
have space.

This is the exact tub

that I'm trying to get rid of
in my house.

It's ugly. I don't like it.

Well, unless you renovate
a house yourself.

Which we are.

Let's go see the basement.

Oh, my goodness!

All right, this is
a little outside my scope.

I mean, this is like
a man cave waiting to happen.

You could design this
exactly the way you want it

at some point in time.

All right, let's head upstairs
and talk money.

All right, so you've seen
the whole house.

Taylor, how do you
feel about it?

I love the house.

Overall, location

and everything else
hits the spot.

But I can't see
myself living here

and I'm not exactly sure why.

We'd have to put
a little bit of cash into it.

Okay. What do you think
this house is listed at?

$950,000, $955,000?

-What do you think?
-Maybe 1.1?

This house is listed
at $1.1 million.

Oh! Bang on!

I mean, you want it?

- No, I just...
I'm happy I'm right.
-Oh.

So, over budget,

but I think
this sort of illustrates

sort of what it's gonna take
to get everything you want.

But I felt like we gave you
a pretty healthy budget.

It is a good budget.

I think you can find something
within that budget.

You're not getting
this house in budget.

It's gonna be tough.

Let's see what I can find

and make sure
it's got a finished basement,

and then we'll take it
from there.

This is the first house
we've looked at.

Taylor, Taylor is
fully onboard.

If this house had
a finished basement,

we'd probably still be
talking at that island.

It's already over our budget,

and then if you wanna
renovate the basement,

that's even more money.

How could we
possibly afford that?

But we can open
our budget,

I think we have flexibility.

And no issue
with the money for me.

-My money's still on Page.
-Keep an open mind.

There's lots of more houses
out there to show them,

and they are gonna have
a finished basement.

All right, we'll see.

-Hi!
-Welcome home.

- Oh.
- -Thank you, thank you.

All right, well,
let's go to your basement.

I super appreciate
what your mom is doing

with your family
and the girls.

My mom, Nana Patricia,
lived with us for 14 years.

-Yes.
-So we wanna make sure

just to give her
a delightful place.

But that's why she shouldn't
be in a basement.

I would love
to have a lower level.

- Yes! I like this!
- Right?

-A lower level, okay.
-Yes, a lower level.

So, I'm going to make sure
that this area,

which is where your mom
is residing

when she's here and sleeping,

that it feels like a bedroom,

that it doesn't feel
like a basement.

-And this will be
her living quarters.
-I love that.

So, let's go
upstairs to the top floor.

- Oh, I'm excited about the en suite!
- -Yeah, the en suite.

Yes, I'm very excited.

Well, let's come
in your en suite.

Let's push
this whole wall out.

So where your closet is
will become part
of the bathroom.

Yeah, okay.

Give you
a much bigger bathroom.

You don't use the tub anyway.

Double vanities,

-a huge shower.
-Yes!

And then I'm gonna do
some built-ins for you
for your closet area.

- Okay, but the built-ins will still fit my clothes?
- -100%.

So, that's upstairs.

Let's go back down
to your main floor.

Next, in the kitchen,

this wall will be gone.

Great natural light
flooding in.

Love it.

So, let's do
a big island right here.

- This knee wall can come right on down.
- -Love it.

With the fireplace gone,

I can give you
a beautiful dining area,

and I wanna flip-flop
these two rooms,

and then your family area
up in the front of the house.

This wall is coming down.

- Yep.
- Great open concept.

- Love it.
- And this wall is staying.

What?

This wall will stay.

That's not open.

This wall has to stay.

This wall is holding up
the middle of your house.

This wall has to go.

It has to be open concept.

This wall has to go, or we go.

It's just too expensive
to take down.

It's a huge disappointment.

This is kind of like
a deal-breaker.

Open concept
was, like, number one.

-I understand.
-So love it.

We can't do it in the budget
that we have.

Once my engineers come in,

then that's when the real
prices start coming in.

This has to happen,
or there's no way I'm staying.

Let me keep working on it.
Let me see

if there's any way around it,
budget-wise.

Let's see what I can do,
and I'll do my best.

This is a situation

where tough choices
are gonna have to be made.

If we're gonna spend
more money,

we're gonna spend it
on that new house.

She could surprise us.

At the end of the day, I think
she's gonna make it work.

They want an open concept,
that's for sure.

But the question is,
can I even give it to them?

And my answer right now is,
I don't know.

Work is happening
in both the basement

and the second floor,

but Matt needs to talk to me
about the main floor.

Hello, hello!

- Page, how are you?
- Hey, Matt, good!

So I got your email,
so they want this wall gone.

Oh, it has to be gone.

Both walls
are technically doing a job,
bearing right now.

So we need a beam going here
and then another one here.

That's the only way to get
the bulk of this gone...

is to keep one post.

So, that means
I have to figure out

a design around the post.

So, the cost of these beams
is, you know, it's a ton.

Bathrooms are expensive,
and upstairs,

we're doing a lot
of movement of plumbing

in the principal.

- Something has to go.
- Yep.

-So, let me know
what's happening.
-Okay.

- All right, we'll get
started soon.
- Okay. All right.

-Talk soon.
-I'll work on that.

Demolition on the kitchen
has begun,

including taking down the wall

it shares
with the former play area.

But I'm meeting
with Nicky and Taylor

to talk about what's next.

Are you excited to see
what the house looks like?

- I hear you guys!
- Oh, my--

- Good change, right?
- Whoa!

-Oh, my gosh!
-Wow!

It looks good, right?

Yeah, it looks different.

Well, here,
come in the kitchen.

I wanna show you
kitchen first.

So, here is your
newly gutted kitchen,

and right where I'm standing,
this will be your island.

-Beautiful.
-Ooh, nice!

Great prep.
And you're looking right

into your new dining area,

or this way,
into your new living room.

Because you do need
that sightline.

- Okay.
- Are you seeing it?

- I like it. I like it.
- Yeah--

Open concept, baby.

So, I wanna talk
about this open concept.

The two beams
are so much money

that it's not giving me
enough money

to move your plumbing
and to expand

your bathroom en suite
upstairs into your closet.

We're going to have
to choose either

to do your open concept
with the beams

or build out
in your en suite.

The open concept is kind
of the whole point of doing

this major renovation.

-One of our must-haves.
-Yes.

So, if we do
open concept down here,

the bathroom is gonna stay
the same size?

But it will feel bigger
'cause it will be more open.

Get rid of the tub you have,
since you don't use it anyway.

So what about the closet?
No built-ins, nothing.

But you'll still have
that mini walk-in.

I can't really imagine
it right now.

I'm gonna show you
your open concept.

Now that the ceilings
are open,

-you can see
that your joists...
-Mmm-hmm.

...are running this way
and you have joist
running that way.

I have to put beams going up
in two different ways.

-Nothing to hold up
your ceiling.
-Gonna be a post

in the middle of everything.

We could put a post
up at the front,
but that makes it old school.

-That's definitely worse.
-We're swapping our family
room, living room areas.

So, right now, as it stands,
I'm gonna be staring
into my bathroom all the time.

No, I'm going to do something
very beautiful here
design wise.

The bathroom is going
to go away.

I promise you won't see it.

-Don't love the sound
of that, Page.
-I know.

It's going to be beautiful.
You guys brought me in
to solve the problems

in this house,
and I'm going to deliver.

Okay. Thanks, Page.

You know, it always amazes me
when homeowners bring me in
to solve problems,

and then they doubt me.

I still truthfully
cannot imagine that pole
being hidden in a nice way.

It's hard for Taylor and Nicky
to see how amazing
it's going to be.

But it is.

-So now we can start working
on this privacy wall...
-Okay.

...that will block
the powder room.

Okay? Do you want
to come over here

'cause actually
I've got some drawings.

We've done a layout for you

-according to what
you're talking about.
-Okay, good. Okay, good.

Chantelle, do you want
to come over

and we can sort of
discuss this with Page?

-Okay, so there's
sort of the layout...
-This is it.

-...according to your drawings
that you wanted.
-Yep, this is good.

So Taylor's first concern was
I don't want to sit and look

at that powder room
from the living room.

And you can make
the custom design divider

a focal point in the room
without overpowering the room.

So this is perfect.

And then the back panel
going to block
the powder room.

- That was the biggest concern
that you had, right?
- Yep. Mmm-hmm.

We can hide all of the cords
and everything else.

-That ugly HVAC vent
that was in there.
-Mmm-hmm.

- And this is the post.
- This is a great design.

I just don't know
if it's gonna be enough
to keep them in the house.

-I think this is the solution.
-Yeah, I hope so.
This is good.

So we are 15 minutes
from Nicky and Taylor's house.

It is a great house.
I love it.

Nice open concept.

- Main floor.
- Great kitchen. Walkout.

- Four bathrooms.
- It's got the four bedrooms upstairs,

which means
his mother's not gonna
have to be in the basement.

Doesn't have access
to a bathroom.

But there are two bathrooms
on the second floor.

And the backyard does have
an interesting feature
they might love.

David, good morning.

Good morning.
How are you, Nicky?

I'm good.
How are you doing today?

-Good. Good to see
you, Taylor.
-Good to see you.

-How are you?
-Great day to look at a house.

Absolutely. Love it.

All right, go ahead.

- Ladies first.
- Oh, why, thank you.

Come on in.

Ooh, this is nice.

- It's big.
- It's not so open.

Well, it's going to be open
where you need it to be open.

-With carpet.
-Yes, with carpet.
Formal dining room.

It's got direct access
to the kitchen.

So you've got
some sight lines.

You've got some, you know,
flow that you want.

- So look at this family room.
- Oh, I like this.

- Look how amazing this is.
- -Oh, it's got carpet.

-I know it has carpet.
-It doesn't even match
the other carpet.

- It's new carpet.
It's different carpet.
-Mmm-hmm.

Look at the connection
you've got with the kitchen,
right?

-You've got good flow.
You can see the TV.
-That's a beautiful kitchen.

You've got space
for your family and then some.

Look at this.
Look at this kitchen.

And look at the view.

-I want you to stand right
here and look in the backyard.
-Gather around.

Oh, I see it,
and I love a pool.

The amount of landscaping
they did back here
is just amazing.

- It's stunning.
- Are we jumping in?

Listen, if you want,
this is the day to jump
in a pool.

- I agree. I love it.
- This is the day
to jump in a pool.

We have none of this
in our backyard.

-It's not big enough.
-Yeah.

The next stop is the basement.

And I know that's a big deal
for you guys.

I'm excited to see
the basement, David.

Actually, I'm gonna
let Taylor go down first.

- Taylor, go down first.
- Oh, no.

- I like it.
- The pool table obviously has to come with the house, right?

Yep,
of course it does.

Imagine hanging out
with your friends, family,
playing some pool.

-It's great.
-Yeah.

And the dartboard.
We also like darts.

And a dartboard and a wet bar.

And it gives us more
different floorings.

Three different floorings
in fact.

We're just collecting
them all.

But your basement,
once you really fix it up

with a bedroom down there
for your mother,

which you have to do,
obviously, to make it
work better.

But that's never going to be
a real rec space anymore.

This gives us the space
to hang out
and do our own thing.

We do like a bar.
I'll be honest.

Checks all the boxes
for me.

Let's head up
to the second floor
and see the bedrooms.

-Yeah, let's do it.
-Come on.
The main bedroom.

This is really nice.

- It's huge.
- It's huge. I love it.

-Beautiful view
of the backyard and the pool.
-I love it.

And I'm loving what
I'm already seeing
in the bathroom here.

We've got space,
but we'll never get
in each other's way.

And that shower
is small.

Like, I feel like
I can't even fit in there.

- You got tons of room.
What, are you kidding me?
-Yeah.

-See, it's perfect.
-There's, like, so much space.

Shut the door on her, David.

- It has its own light in here.
- See, we're good.

It's too small.
I feel claustrophobic.

Look, my elbows
are hitting the sides.

Too small.

Kids bedrooms.
Bedroom number one.

- Good sized bedrooms for the kids.
- -Okay.

This is the bathroom
for the kids and your mother.

She'd be sharing
a bathroom with the girls.

Yeah, that's okay, though.

And it's way bigger
than the one
we have in our basement.

Another great bedroom.

- Oh, I love the window seat.
- -Isn't that beautiful?

Your mother's bedroom.

There is no way you can
compete with this bedroom
for your mother.

Tell me she wouldn't
absolutely love this bedroom.

It's like
a second primary bedroom.

How big it is. This is great.

-All right,
let's go talk money.
-Sounds good.

All right. So, what
do you think this house
is listed at?

-Like, a million,
something like that.
-What do you think?

Hmm, 990,000.

This house is listed
at $1030,000.

But I think this checks
a lot of our boxes.

It does need
some upgrades.

I want the same
floor throughout.

Those changes ain't free,
and it is already
above budget.

It's well worth it.

And our renovations are gonna
increase the value
in our house.

Probably extend our budget.

-It sounds like you've got
the moving truck rented.
-Yep.

And it sounds like
you're not quite ready.

-So, let's keep looking
and take it from there.
-Good job today, David.

All right. Thank you.

I think Nicky took a step
in the right direction

in terms of understanding
that her house
has limitations.

But this house
is not move-in ready.

It's hard for me
to get over the floor.

This house is way over budget,
and it needs work.

Look, $150,000 over,
it's a lot of money.

Page is going to do
a really good job
renovating our home,

and we're going to get
that money back
when we sell that house.

It's given me a lot
to think about.

So what is there to do?

Find more houses
that are possibly
better than this.

It is a house
that I would consider.

I think they're ready to spend
for the right house.

Work on the house
has kicked into high gear.

The team is adding
the support beams

so we can create
an open-concept feel
on this main floor.

I'm focusing my attention
on the basement

and refining the plan
for Taylor's mom's
lower-level suite.

So, we are 30 minutes
from their house.

But this house is fantastic
from top to bottom.

I mean, it's got
four bedrooms, five bathrooms,
beautiful open concept,

main floor walk out
to a great backyard.

A pool, which is apparently
now on the list.

They want a pool. It's got it.

Taylor's gonna love,
love, love the basement.

Plus, it's got a perfect setup
for his mother
and everyone else.

Let's see what they think.

- Hello.
- Good morning.

-Good to see you.
-Good to see you as well.

-Good to see you.
-Good seeing you.

-This house is perfect.
-Perfect. Oh, those
are strong words.

- I already like the double door.
- -Isn't that nice?

-It's so cute.
-I love it.

Incredibly high ceilings.

- You've got plenty of storage at the front door.
- -Yes, we need that.

You have your
formal living room

away from sort of the hustle
and bustle.

The main floor laundry.
Check out the storage.
Look at all the hooks.

Your eat-in kitchen,
family room combination.

-Ooh, la, la.
-Oh, this is very nice.

You know, lots of windows.
Access to the backyard.

- Just flows right there.
- Flow.

Yeah, this is great.

Nice, open concept,
gives me my sightlines

- to see the kids when they're out there playing.
- -Yeah.

Still got a place
to have dinner. I'm loving it.

It's great for entertaining.
Then you just head that way.

- That way.
- That way.

- Oh, wow.
- -Okay, so I was definitely not expecting this.

It's quiet in here.

I'm liking this house, David.

-Aha. Backyard time.
-Oh.

I see a twinkle in that eye.

- Oh, my.
- Wow.

Talk about a party backyard.

-Oh, my gosh.
-This is another win
for a backyard.

Look at this. Look at this.

-Oh, I'm loving this.
-I'm seeing it.

-Isn't this incredible?
-I'm seeing the bar.

You're not directly looking
at houses like right there.

A little bit of privacy.
You got the pool house.

You've got the bar area
where there's already
a fridge in there.

Can you imagine
what summers would be like
here versus your house?

Yeah.

-Come on.
-Yeah, let's go.

Your mother's space.

Oh, my gosh, this is, like,

- bigger than our bedroom.
- -Wow, this is really nice and large.

- Her own washroom.
- Her own washroom.

- And a reading space.
- This is like another primary.

She wouldn't want to leave.

Primary bedroom,

- which, again, is as spacious as it gets.
- -Wow, this is big too.

- This is perfect.
- Lots of natural light.

Check out the washroom.

-Yes, it is has a bathtub.
-Check out the washroom.

- Okay, so it's exactly like our shower at home...
- -Okay.

...which we don't like.

This bathroom is better
than our current bathroom.

I'll give you that.
It's better than
our bathroom was,

- not better than what it's gonna be.
- -Let's go.

- Bedroom number one.
- Also large.

Another good spot
for one of our kids.

And of course, your kids
will have their own bathroom.

There are three
on this second level.

How many on yours?

-How many bathrooms?
-There's two.

-That's all we
need upstairs...
-Right.

...because Grandma Carol's
on the lower level
with her own bathroom.

Yeah, but you don't want her
on the lower level.

You want her up here
on the second floor.

Time to hit the basement
where your mother will not be.

That's what I like
to hear.

After you.

Taylor, you're gonna love it.

I don't know which way
to turn. Oh, my gosh.

- Oh, wow.
- -Come and sit and watch a movie.

- Do you like it?
- My own chair.

- Look at the built-in
how big the TV is.
- No. This is great.

You got everything.
You're set up.

Your mother's upstairs.

The perfect setup
for you guys.

A setup you will not have
at your house.

Let's head upstairs
and talk money.

What do you think, overall?

-This is the one. I could
definitely see us here.
-The one.

So how much do you think
the one is listed at?

Around $955,000.

1.1 would be my guess.

So it's listed at $1000,000,
a little over budget.

-Okay.
-All right.

-A little over budget.
-This is as close to perfect
as you're gonna get.

So you said it was the one.

-So do we need to look
at anything else?
-Yeah.

No, I think we don't.

I think we've got a, you know,
decision to make now.

- I think we need to talk still, but I mean...
- -Awesome.

-It's been a pleasure.
-David.

You did well.
Thank you so much.

-All right, we'll be in touch.
-Oh, my gosh, the one.

This size
is not gonna change.

Let's pack our bags
and let's hit the road.

I don't know
if I'm quite ready
to pack the bags.

Nicky is such a wild card.

I mean, she's positive
right now, but she can turn
on a dime.

It's even got
an extra bathroom
on the second floor,

-which we didn't even
think about.
-I know.

Here's what I need Page to do.

I need her to do a good job,

but I also need her
to drop the ball somewhere
so that I can slide in there.

I'm sure Page is gonna do
a really good job,

but I don't know
if it's gonna be better
than what we saw here.

Page is gonna do
a great job.

It'll be more upgraded,
and I am just hoping
and praying

that Page can
knock it out of the park.

All right.

With the kitchen
cabinets in, the team
is putting in new countertops.

I'm pitching in and installing
the trim in the lower level,

putting up wallpaper
in the powder room

to add some real impact
with color,

and adding a bit of sparkle
to the cabinets
with new cabinet pulls.

I just wonder
if all the changes
made to this house

will be enough to get
Nicky and Taylor
to say they love it.

-Hi.
-I know.

Girl, you look fabulous.

-So do you guys.
Look so good. Good.
-How are you?

Well, this transformation
is going to blow your mind,
I promise.

Oh, my gosh. Can we go see it?

Okay. Come on.

Okay. Nicky and Taylor.

-Oh, my God.
-Oh.

-Come in. Come in. Come in.
-Holy.

Come look. Come on. Come here.

- Look at this.
Look at what I'm looking at.
-Love it.

-But just look. I know.
-Holy smokes.

Never in my wildest dreams.

Let's go into
the living room.

- Very nice.
-This is incredible.
I love this.

-Oh, my gosh.
-Please, have a seat. Enjoy.

I feel like I'm in a magazine
right now.

What I love about
the divider is that it does
block the powder room.

- I'm impressed.
- -Taylor, I can't believe it.

Like, I'm even seeing a dimple
that I've never seen before.

And do you see
your kitchen?

This is huge.

This is way bigger
than I was expecting it to be,

-Come here. I want you
to see it all from here.
-Unreal.

- Come from here so you can see.
- Beautiful new range.

- Undermounted sink, and look at how deep it is.
- -I love it.

How crazy is it
that there was a wall here?

- I honestly don't even feel like we're in the same house.
- -I know.

I can't.

So I got, you know,
I can see my family
living room.

See the dining room
where I'll be cooking.
I'm loving it.

I just walked through
your old wall.

-I know.
-Your old knee wall is down.

Let's go now
into your formal dining area.

Look at how big this room is.

-Where am I? Where am I?
-I love it.

-Let's go check out
the powder room.
-Yes, let's see it.

- All right. All right.
- A little bit. Okay.

- Wow.
- Oh, my. The whole thing
is wallpaper.

Well, that's unexpected,
but I'm into it.

Wow, that looks great.

There's so much more to see.

-We're excited.
-So let's go upstairs.

Oh, boy, you're in for a treat
up here.

Even the stairs are different.

- Like, look at the railing.
- That's beautiful.

Here's your new bathroom
for your amazing girls.

Oh, my gosh.

- This is so gorgeous.
- This is perfect.

Look at the floor.

- I love that.
- I love the herringbone.

-Amazing. Let's move on.
-Good. Yay.

-Let's see more.
-There's more. There's more.

Ooh, she's excited.

-I'm excited.
-I'm very excited for this.

Okay, Come on.
So your primary ensuite.

-You guys go first
on this one.
-Ah.

Oh, my gosh,
look at the shower.

- Oh.
- Look at the...

Can I just put
my king bed in there?

That thing is huge.

-Go in there.
Go in and test it out.
-Get in. Fit right in.

- This is wicked. I love it.
Oh, my gosh.
-Oh, this is awesome.

And you have
your double vanity.

- Page.
- -Stay on your side, buddy.

This has made me happy, right?

-Like I have my own space.
-What?

-We're not gonna be fighting
in the morning.
-Yeah.

In the early morning when she
doesn't want to talk to me.

- I can just do my own thing over here.
- -Yep.

-This was your old
corner shower.
-Yeah.

- You didn't think I could do this?
- -No, I didn't.

And I didn't increase
the square footage.

-No, it's perfect.
-Let's go to the basement.

-All right.
-The basement.

This is it.
The creme de la creme.

-All right.
-No.

Oh, my gosh.

-Come in. Come in.
-Holy smokes.

This is not real.

I can't even...

This room might make me cry.

Oh, my gosh, it's amazing.

This is truly a lower level.

-This is not a basement.
Unreal.
-You make me cry.

- Unreal.
- This has actually blown my expectations.

I got an office. Look at this.

- I can hang out and do my work.
- -You see that.

- Now, this
is a couch, baby.
- I know. Try it out.

I don't know what I expected.

It certainly wasn't this.

This bathroom.

All right, come on in.

Is this real life?

Oh, my gosh.

- I can actually sit on the toilet now.
- -Yeah.

It sounds like he's claiming
down here for himself.

This is for your mom.

- This is great. Tile. Love it.
- Yep.

Like the herringbone upstairs,
too, so it matches.

-Yay.
-Fit for a queen.

-Fit for a queen Carol.
-There's more, though.

- There's more?
- -Of course there's more.

I was tasked to create a space
for your mom, Taylor.

-She takes such great care
of your kids and your family.
-Yep.

Okay, let's see if this is
a dream come true.

It's a real bedroom!

-Oh, my gosh.
-Wow. Look at this.

And look,
she has a little
dresser and everything.

-That privacy
-Oh, this is so nice.

Perfect spare bedroom.
Perfect bedroom for my mom
when she's living here.

- This is awesome. New window?
- New window.

I was making fun of you before
calling it a lower-level suite

-and I'm on board now.
-I know.

-This is actually really,
really awesome.
-Thank you.

This is no longer
a "basement."

-She's not gonna believe it.
She's gonna just...
-She's gonna be so happy.

- Oh, my gosh. Love it.
- Yeah. I didn't think
you'd be able to do both.

I didn't think you'd be able
to make me feel comfortable
in here.

- And you've done a really good job.
- -She did it all.

- David is upstairs.
- Okay.

So I'm gonna send you to him
and I'll see you guys later.

-David.
-Hey, Nicky How are you?

-Hey, David. How you doing?
-Good to see you.

Welcome back to your house.

Looks incredible.

Quite the transformation,
isn't it?

Oh, my gosh, huge.

-Doesn't even feel like
the same house.
-No, it definitely does not.

But let's talk about how
it compares to the house
that we looked at.

In terms of square footage,
it doesn't really compare.

You have the eat-in kitchen,
family room combination,

-which was more space
than you currently have here.
-Yes.

Especially if you include
that incredible office.

Four bedrooms,
three bathrooms.

Which means your kids
get their space,
their bathroom.

But more importantly,
your mother gets her own
bedroom on the second floor

with the kids,
and her own bathroom.

Getting her own bedroom
on the second floor,

where we could all
be together.

That frees up
the basement, right?

Your man cave has returned...

-Yeah.
-...and everybody will benefit
from it.

Something that wasn't
on your list,

- an inground pool.
- -That should have been on our list.

So, you wanna hear
some good news?

The house we looked at
was reduced by $60,000.

-Still over budget.
-It's still a little bit
over budget,

but it's even less over budget
now because the new value
of your home is that.

The pre renovation value
of this home was $750,000.

With a reno budget
of $115,000.

The post rental value
is estimated to be $925,000.

That's an increase in value
of $175,000.

-Wow.
-Oh, my gosh.

I wasn't really
expecting that.

So that makes that house
that much more affordable.

Page and her team
did an incredible job here.

Now it's time
for you to decide
which house you think

makes the most sense
for your future
and your family.

And let us know
what you think.

All right. Thank you
so much, David.

-All right. Talk to you soon.
-Thank you. Good to see you.

What kind of smile and pep
in your step is this?

Oh, it's a beautiful day
out there.

I found them an inground pool.

-And their eyes lit up
like it was Christmas.
-Really?

Well, that's interesting.

-But I feel like here--
-The washrooms here
were gorgeous.

Like you said, there were some
renovations needed

-at the other place.
-Yeah.

This house does not need
renovating at all.

-It's done.
-And it's a space I can see
myself enjoying, too.

I'll tell you, it's a pretty
stunning transformation,

-and you delivered
for sure, for sure.
-Thank you.

But my mom is still
in the basement, right?

It's a lower level.

But the other house had such
a bigger rec room for us.

It wasn't exactly
the location,

but it was a location
that they were happy with.

It's not that big of a deal.

Gosh, you always say this.

I feel like we made
a decision, but I'm nervous.

-Do you want to go tell them?
-Let's do it.

All right, let's go find out
that Page won another one.

So did you guys
do some talking?

You both did a great job.

Page, we love the renovations.

David, that one house
is unreal.

Okay, well, now's the time.

-Are you gonna love it?
-Or are you going to list it?

We are going to,

-list it.
-Awesome decision.

-Yep.
-Awesome.

The moment we saw that pool,
like, it was a huge plus.

Getting my mom
out of the basement.

Page, you actually have
allowed us to be able to move
to a home

that's a little bit
more expensive

because now our house
is worth more.

And you are also
changing our lives.

-Really helping us out.
-Oh.

-So thank you so much.
-Well, it's been my honor.

And you know,
and I guess this guy
deserves to win one, so.

-Thank you, guys.
-Oh.

-David, it was.
Thank you so much.
-It was a pleasure.

So, now you know how I feel.

I'm your assist. Whoo.

So I can't even win
without having something
to do with you.

Apparently not.

That's how you win
championships.

-Ah.
-Okay. So, come on. Let's go.

That ruins it a bit, though.
