Save My Reno Season 2 Episode 8 Raj & Nader

Raj and Nader are a couple who have purchased their dream home, but the reality is far from what they imagined. The home was in desperate need of a renovation, and they need the help of contractor Sebastian Clovis and designer Sabrina Smelko to bring their vision to life.

The initial walkthrough of the home reveals a maze of small rooms and an outdated layout. The kitchen, in particular, is cramped and in need of a major overhaul. There is a sense of disconnection between different areas of the home, making it difficult for the couple to envision a cohesive design. Sabrina quickly identifies the need to open up the space and create a more flowing, open-concept layout.

Sebastian's initial assessment of the home highlights significant structural issues which will need to be addressed before any renovations can begin. The foundation is weak, and there is some water damage that needs to be remediated. These issues add additional time and cost to the project, which puts pressure on Sabrina to come up with a design plan that maximizes the impact for minimal cost.

The couple's tastes and preferences pose another challenge for Sabrina. While Raj prefers a more traditional aesthetic, Nader is more attracted to modern and sleek designs. Sabrina must find a way to meet both of their needs while staying within budget.

As the project progresses, Sebastian and his team start to make significant progress. The structural issues are addressed, and the layout of the home starts to take shape. Sabrina also begins to make headway with the design plan, incorporating both traditional and modern elements that meet the couple's preferences.

However, unexpected challenges arise. The installation of the new kitchen cabinets presents problems due to the uneven nature of the original walls. The team must come up with creative solutions to ensure that the cabinets are level and functional. Additionally, the original flooring material is difficult to work with, creating additional setbacks and delays.

As the deadline for completion approaches, tensions rise between Raj and Nader. The stress of the project and their differing opinions on design choices begin to take a toll on their relationship. Sabrina and Sebastian must step in to mediate and find a compromise that satisfies both parties.

Finally, the day of the reveal arrives, and the couple is overcome with emotion as they see their new home for the first time. The once-cluttered and dated bungalow has been transformed into a modern, open-concept space that meets the needs of both Raj and Nader. The new kitchen is a gorgeous centerpiece of the design, with sleek custom cabinets and beautiful quartz countertops. The space is now a reflection of the couple's style and personality, a place where they can create new memories for years to come.
