Season 5
1. Craftsman Camelback
0.0May 3, 2023 · 60 minCamelbacks are not common in Galveston, Texas, but the challenge is to make this one a historic head-turner; the Cordrays transform the attic into a cozy family space and build an outdoor sofa that a Gulf storm can't destroy.
2. Beadboard House
0.0May 10, 2023 · 60 minA 1915 home gets an updated layout while keeping the classic lines of beadboard throughout; the addition of a mudroom cabinet, open kitchen shelving and a workable laundry room are sure-fire ways to bring in potential buyers.
3. Double Lot Cottage
0.0May 17, 2023 · 60 minThe oversized lot makes this 1920's home a great purchase, but Ashley and Michael must reverse a boring 80's renovation with the historic feel of handcrafted doors, shiplap ceilings and original floors that get a fun checkerboard pattern.
4. 1800s Backhouse
0.0May 24, 2023 · 60 minIn renovating a very old, very unique backhouse, the Cordrays create a kitchen where there once was a porch, build an office space that used to be an attic, and find a distinct dining solution perfect for a small home.
5. Breezy Duplex
0.0May 31, 2023 · 60 minPreserving the historic charm of a 140-year-old duplex is priority No. 1 as the Cordrays keep the original interior paint, reuse original exterior siding in the kitchen, and turn a contemporary shed into an outdoor sitting area.
6. 2 Family Beach House
0.0Jun 7, 2023 · 60 minShort term rentals are a Galveston staple, especially one a block from the beach; the Cordrays build a deck worthy of the ocean view, build a kitchen island with ship grate, and create an outdoor seating area.
7. Galveston Ranch House
0.0Jun 14, 2023 · 60 minBuying a newer home isn't the Cordray's norm, but adding their iconic character, style and functionality never gets old; they build a privacy fence for the deck, a herringbone design focal wall, and raise and make over the original kitchen cabinets.
8. 1907 Tiny Backhouse
0.0Jun 21, 2023 · 60 minThe Cordrays give some much-needed love to a small 1900s backhouse.
