As a home renovation show with a twist, A&E's Extreme Builds follows the work of three experts as they transform ordinary homes into extraordinary, jaw-dropping spaces. Hosted by Joanie Ellen, the show features designers Scott Cullens and Matt Bennett, who work together to create bold, unique and completely unexpected building designs.

In each episode, the Extreme Builds team takes on a new project, working closely with the homeowner to design a space that meets their needs and exceeds their expectations. These renovations range from quirky and whimsical to luxurious and minimalist, always pushing the boundaries of what is possible with a home.

Throughout the episodes, viewers are taken on a journey through the entire renovation process, from planning and design to demolition and construction. Every detail of the renovation is carefully considered by the designers, including lighting, flooring, paint colors, furniture, and décor, resulting in a truly custom-built space that speaks to the homeowner's style and personality.
