Cousins on Call is a home renovation show hosted by two cousins, Anthony Carrino and John Colaneri, who travel to different homes and apartments to give their innovative touch and convert those into dream homes for their clients. The show premiered on HGTV in 2013 and became instantly popular among the audience.

The show revolves around the two cousins who are seen working in tandem with their team of contractors and designers to convert outdated and sometimes, rundown spaces into beautiful homes. The show features a mix of residential spaces from small family homes to apartments, as the duo create designs that suit both the clients' tastes and budget.

Anthony and John's approach is unique as they focus on getting to know their clients' personalities and interests before starting work. This allows them to create a design that reflects the clients' personalities and preferences. The show is captivating not just because of the cousins' extensive design knowledge, but also because of their warm personalities and constant banter.

The cousins' goal is to make each home renovation project as stress-free as possible for their clients. They make a point to educate and include their clients in every decision-making process, from the initial design phase to construction, which has helped the duo to successfully complete each project with ease.

One of the highlights of the show is the Cousins' customized design work. Anthony and John prefer to create furniture and other house-related materials within the budget they have been allotted, instead of ordering everything off the shelf. This unique approach helps them in providing their clients with distinctive pieces that cannot be found elsewhere. The home designs are not only functional but also visually stunning, often featuring industrial accents and unique spatial design.

Another aspect of Cousins on Call that makes it stand out among other renovation shows is the special focus given to the location of the house. The duo spends an ample amount of time studying the area, the architecture, and the clients living around them to ensure that the renovated home blends in seamlessly while also providing a standout look.

The show has attracted several celebrity clients who have been impressed with the duo's ability to create functional and stylish homes. Cousins on Call includes several episodes where the team has worked with famous chefs, sportspersons, and authors to create spaces that reflect their personalities.

The duo is also known for their ability to work within budget constraints. They try to get the most out of their budget for each project, without compromising on quality or the design aspect. The show is a great source of inspiration for viewers who are frugal but want to spruce up their homes.

The show's production values and engaging content have ensured that it remains one of the most popular home renovation shows on TV even after all these years. The duo's expertise, professionalism, and humor have made them crowd-pleasers on HGTV. The show has not only helped both Anthony and John establish themselves as experts in the home renovation industry, but it also inspires and empowers viewers to take up home renovation projects themselves.

Overall, Cousins on Call is a must-watch show for anybody who is interested in home renovation or wants to witness the transformation of outdated homes into beautiful and personalized spaces. With its charismatic hosts, expert advice, and innovative design work, the show continues to inspire viewers to create spaces that reflect their personalities and showcase their unique style.
