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!

Empty-nesters Larry and Debbie Buller would like to pamper themselves into retirement with a new relaxing bathroom.

Rae Munroe and Adina Silberstein's garage needs work. It leaks. It smells. The walls are crumbling.

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.

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.

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.

Pharmacists Quinn and Lauren Czosnowski know their kitchen is down and out. The symptoms? Outdated cabinets, peeling floor tiles and a functional-at-best countertop. Unfortunately, their budget is more over-the-counter than prescription-strength. They want a kitchen like the ones they see in magazines, but have a fraction of the high-end budget. Lucky for them, the Money Hunters, licensed contractor Matt Blashaw and engineer Deanne Bell, are here to increase their DIY dosage and give them the kitchen they long for.

Watch as the Money Hunters, licensed contractor Matt Blashaw and engineer Deanne Bell, flip this bath ... for under six grand!

Jeff and Lori Zeaman have been living with a tiny deck in their big backyard for almost decade. They dream of a deck four times the size with extravagant amenities like composite decking, natural stone pavers and an outdoor plasma TV - but their 12K budget can't deliver everything on their wish list. It's compromise time for these homeowners. Matt and Deanne will rein in these dreamers and give them a tricked-out deck and patio, Money Hunter-style.

Expecting parents Terence and Maria Thomas need more space in their kitchen before the arrival of their first child, but there are two major obstacles. First, their basement staircase is gobbling up precious square footage in an already cramped kitchen. Second, they need to do a major structural renovation on a simple spruce-up budget. Lucky for the Thomases, Money Hunters Matt and Deanne are on the case. They're going to deliver on the Thomases' kitchen wish list AND make some major improvements to the adjoining dining room--all without breaking a sweat -- or the bank.

Advertising exec Paul has had it with his barren and useless front yard. He and his good friend Trudy want to revamp this blank canvas and transform it into an awesome outdoor entertainment zone.

Can the Money Hunters manage this massive budget, or will they dig a foundation hole they can't afford to fill?

When we last saw Alex and Elizabeth Jennings, they were enjoying their new Money Hunters-style addition. But record rainfall has since caused a severely flooded basement and dampened their mood.

Sounds like it's time to call the Money Hunters... again.

Rian and Rory Beasley recently moved out of the city and into a suburban home to raise their son Sammy. They were drawn to the house because of the unfinished addition and the possibilities of what it could become.

First-time homeowners Nicole and Peter have a ton of unfinished square footage begging for a Money Hunters makeover.

Will Matt and Deanne be able to talk this young couple into focusing their attention on just one space?

Mike and Andrea Austin just bought their dream home, but it came with a room they just don't know how to use. It was a library for the previous homeowners, who took all the bookshelves.

And there's another challenge: the couple wants this renovation to be totally green and environmentally friendly.
