Ep 4. Curb Appeal Crackdown

Rehab Addict Season 1 Episode 4: Curb Appeal Crackdown

In this episode of Rehab Addict, host and renovation expert Nicole Curtis takes on the challenge of giving a rundown bungalow a much-needed facelift, focusing on improving its curb appeal. As the saying goes, first impressions last, and for Nicole, ensuring that the exterior of the home looks just as great as its interiors is essential.

The episode begins with Nicole surveying the property and noting the various areas that need work. The bungalow's front yard is overgrown, with tall grass and weeds towering over the porch. The front porch also requires attention as it is worn out and needs a fresh coat of paint. But, before any of that, Nicole decides to tackle one of the most critical landscaping components: the trees.

Nicole recruits a team of experts to remove overgrown trees and trim the branches of the remaining ones. With the trees now in better shape, they are far less obtrusive, and the natural light can pour into the house. Next on the agenda is uprooting the overgrown grass and weeds that have taken over the front yard. Nicole brings in a landscaping team to take care of this task, and before long, the yard is neat and tidy.

With the outdoor landscaping out of the way, the main attraction now is the bungalow's porch. Nicole takes her time evaluating the existing porch and concludes that the best course of action is to preserve and refinish it rather than tearing it down. While the porch is in relatively good shape overall, it needs some work. The team gets to sanding, varnishing, and painting the porch posts, railings, and banisters, bringing them back to life.

Meanwhile, Nicole and her team start working on the dilapidated garage located at the back of the property. They clear out years of accumulated clutter and debris and give the garage a good scrubbing. With the garage cleaned, Nicole envisions turning it into a functional workspace. They start with the installation of new shelves and a work table, turning the garage into a handy workshop.

However, the work doesn't stop there. The team now sets their sights on the yard's landscaping, which is in desperate need of attention. With the help of some decorative stones, a new walkway is laid, and a cozy fire pit is installed in the backyard, making it a perfect spot for entertaining guests.

Finally, the job is complete, and the home's exterior has undergone a transformation, giving it a fresh, modern look. The curb appeal is now apparent, and the bungalow stands out in the neighborhood, bringing value to the property. The episode concludes with Nicole standing outside, admiring their work, and the home's owners grateful for the effort to give their home a beautiful facelift.

In conclusion, this episode of Rehab Addict offers an engaging story of how a home's exterior can be transformed with some attention to detail and hard work. From fixing up an overgrown front yard to transforming a tired garage into a handy workspace, this episode showcases the magic of Nicole Curtis's renovation abilities. Ultimately, the transformation achieves the primary objective, making the home the envy of the neighborhood.
