In episode one, Mike and Denese will take on an early 1900s family property wrought with tight and dysfunctional spaces, but brimming with special historic features. To restore order to the home, they'll tear down walls, create an open kitchen and dining area and build a large mudroom and spa-like bathrooms. As the season continues, Mike and Denese will overcome choppy rooms and wasted square footage for more clients and work with their dads — master carpenters John Butler and Peter Doyle — to deliver one-of-a-kind projects for each family, including an island with a built-in bench seat and a repurposed antique chest.
