Genre: Home Improvement, Reality Makeover, Reality
Bargain Block follows home renovation experts and partners Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas on their journey to restore Detroit's iconic American neighbourhoods one house at a time.
With sound advice and support from their friend - lifetime Detroit resident and real estate expert Shea Hicks-Whitfield, who is expecting her first child - Keith and Evan will buy multiple rundown and abandoned houses on a single block, take them down to the studs, and create affordable, stylish and fully furnished starter homes that are ideal for first-time homebuyers.
Now settled in the Motor City, the couple, who have renovated and purchased their own home and opened a new retail store and workshop, will infuse every property with a functional layout, artful design and beautiful repurposed furniture.
The end result is incredible transformations of dilapidated homes that are an inspiration to the entire neighbourhood.
To tackle the next round of renovations on the block, Keith and Evan will buy two ramshackle neighbouring houses that both present extensive water damage and sky-high trash heaps.
Once the properties are restored, the duo will give them an elevated design, one with a Hamptons beach cottage vibe and the other with a swanky, moody art deco style.
