Season 1

Newlyweds Jeff and Julie Simon want to blow out their 70s throwback basement on the cheap. But local building and fire codes threaten to squash the budget before the building begins. When the happy couple tries to free up cash, they turn to the Money Hunters, Matt Blashaw and Deanne Bell, for help.

Melanie Burrows is going crazy. Her husband Kyle's homebrew hobby is taking over her kitchen. She wants to morph their old utility room into the beer factory of Kyle's dreams and the laundry room of hers, but shoddy windows, poor insulation, and a tight budget stand in the way. It's a tall order for an ordinary builder, but not for the Money Hunters, Matt Blashaw and Deanne Bell.

John and Chrissy Kuzmick moved into their dated Tudor twin with grand plans for updating it. However, that was 15 years ago! They need the Money Hunter, Matt Blashaw and Deanne Bell, to give their entire first floor a facelift on a one room budget, but a load-bearing wall and an unsafe chimney will make it a challenge.

David and Michele Rogers' home renovation is down to just two rooms, a drab den and a shady sun-porch. Michele isn't afraid to spend, but David has a firm price in mind for the project. When her plan for the porch goes awry, it's up to the Money Hunters to work out a compromise, without compromising the project.

Empty-nesters Larry and Debbie Buller would like to pamper themselves into retirement with a new relaxing bathroom. To transform their cramped bathroom into a relaxing spa, they want to rip out a dilapidated home office to make more room. They don't want to go over budget, so they're going to need the Money Hunters if they want to leave enough cash in the bank to spoil their grandson.

Thuy Thammavong had the kitchen of her dreams, but left it behind when she and husband Steve moved into a bigger house for their growing family. Steve will spare no expense to make his wife a satisfied chef again, but Thuy needs the Money Hunters', Matt Blashaw and Deanne Bell, help to keep Steve from spending them into the poor house.

Rae Munroe and Adina Silberstein's garage needs work. It leaks. It smells. The walls are crumbling. They'd like to build a potting station with running water, a work bench, and still have enough space for a car with a budget of seven grand! This one is tricky, even for the Money Hunters, Matt Blashaw and Deanne Bell.

Paul Tilghman and Melanie Rodriguez are new parents with an old house. They each have their own passion project that they want to tackle. Paul wants a rehabbed yard with patio and Melanie wants a functional utility room. The compromise is one that only the Money Hunters, Matt Blashaw and Deanne Bell, could pull off: do both.

Former Minnesota Viking Sean Burton and his wife Joy want to convert their unfinished basement into livable space, but they disagree about the plan. Joy wants an extra bathroom and flexible space. Sean wants it to become his man-cave. Joy's going to need some help form the Money Hunters, Matt Blashaw and Deanne Bell, to rein Sean in.

LaMonte Adams' mud room "serves its purpose", but wife Zarah wants to warm up their chilly utility room. The open ceiling, bare floor, and exposed HVAC are all eyesores and make a lousy first impression for their guests who enter through the garage. LaMonte is willing to make improvements with a $5,000 limit, so Zarah is going to need some help from the Money Hunters, Matt Blashaw and Deanne Bell, to spend it wisely.

The McGovern's began renovating their relic of a row home five years ago, but everything has to be custom made in a house built in 1860. Marisa is due to give birth in six weeks, leaving John-Paul scrambling to finish the entire first floor as his last project before the baby comes. This new family desperately needs the Money Hunters', Matt Blashaw and Deanne Bell, guidance if they want to finish on time and leave a future college fund intact for their new arrival.

Ajay and Michelle Joshi both agree they need another bathroom. They agree that it should go in the attic and they even have enough money set aside for the job. The only conflict is what to do with the rest of the space. Ajay wants a study for his library and Michelle a walk-in closet for her wardrobe. Only the Money Hunters, Matt Blashaw and Deanne Bell, could settle the argument and finish an entire floor on just the bathroom budget.

When it comes to their new backyard, the Jones' are at a total loss. They have a weather-beaten wood deck, a sagging fence, a cracked paver walkway, and no idea where to begin. With summer rapidly approaching, this couple will either have to take out a second mortgage or call upon the help of the Money Hunters, Matt Blashaw and Deanne Bell, if they want to be lounging by the pool before September.
