In "A Cut Above," Bryan visits the home of Jackie and Dave, an avid collector of antique weapons and artifacts. In addition to their collection, they have a basement that's half finished with drywall and half unfinished with exposed concrete walls. Jackie and Dave are looking to create a space that perfectly showcases their antique collection, complete with themed decorations, custom crown molding, antique trims and rustic décor. The couple is excited about their plans but have some concerns about how much the project will cost and how long it will take to complete.
At this point, Bryan steps in and offers his expert opinion. He tells the couple that to get everything they want within their limited budget and timeline would require some close collaboration and tough decision-making. He then goes on to explain to the couple that to create the moldings and trim they have in mind, they will need weeks of work. Bryan suggests an alternative plan that involves the installation of high-density polyurethane trim pieces that can be used to create any design they choose.
The episode takes a dramatic turn when Bryan shares his plan with the couple, and Jackie and Dave don’t seem convinced. They are skeptical that the polyurethane pieces will look less authentic and the rustiness of their theme may not be effectively conveyed. Despite their reservations, Bryan urges them to trust his judgment and gives them a demonstration of how the high-density trim pieces can be designed and customized to suit their liking.
With just six weeks to complete the project, Bryan rolls up his sleeves and gets to work, leading a crew of workers to give the couple's unfinished basement a complete makeover. The team works efficiently to create a new rustic design with an antique touch, adding custom-built features like a bar and theater area, storage units specifically made to showcase Jackie and Dave's antique collection. The crew also used high-density polyurethane pieces to make the crown and base moldings that Jackie and Dave initially had doubts about. In the end, Bryan’s plan proved successful, and the couple was thrilled with the results.
