8 LIES HOME RENOVATION REALITY SHOWS TELL

Don’t get us wrong, we love home reality shows just like the next person. The only problem is these shows aren’t realistic. This month we will expose the truth behind 8 common misconceptions of home renovations!

Reality Show Lie #1: The Job Always Takes Longer Than They Say

In a statement issued by HGTV, they admitted that they “may abridge and adjust timelines to help manage production and time constraints.” Translation: They fudge the timeline to suit the story they’re telling.

Reality shows may make it look like you can have a new kitchen in 24 hours, but the truth is that’s physically impossible. Shows depicting super speedy renovations likely have a professional crew working round the clock for days or weeks to get the job done.

Reality shows make it look like an entire home can be remodeled in a month by leaving out many critical steps involved in the real-world process. From meeting with architects and contractors to selecting materials and finishes, significant planning and preparation goes into a proper renovation. Not to mention the time required for inspections, humane work schedules, and letting the paint dry.
