Property Brothers

Christine & Mathieu (5x5)

Air date: May 24, 2013

Christine, Mathieu and two active kids are living in a cramped rental. With little time left on the lease, the family urgently needs to escape. They want way more space, a gourmet kitchen, stylish floors and easy access to nature trails. The Property Brothers come to the rescue helping them find a budget-friendly dream home that can be renovated on time. With a budget that doesn't match the couple's expectations, Drew and Jonathan struggle to sell the potential of a fixer-upper. And the demolition reveals some unexpected surprises that have budget-conscious Mathieu wringing his hands. Christine adds to his worries with demands for costly upgrades to Jonathan's original plan. But the nervous couple is buoyed by the work-in-progress.
