Sarah and Andrew have conflicting ideas about what needs to be done to solve these problems. While Sarah believes their current home can be renovated to fit their needs, Andrew is convinced that they need to move to a larger home altogether. Enter homeownership and renovation experts Hilary Farr and David Visentin, who are tasked with helping the family decide whether to love their current home and invest in renovations or list it and find a new one that better suits their needs.
