Do the TV stations come back after 1 hr make overs to do the job properly? If you watch these programs closely you will see paint over laps, nasty creases' and huge bubbles in wall paper etc etc all glaring faults that no one would live with.

Plus you see some very obvious inconsistencies, in a recent episode they were putting decking down in the garden and it was absolutely chucking it down with rain. Yet when the house holder returned after the 'hour' had apparently just finished the garden area was bone dry, not a trace of moisture anywhere!

My brother in law who has an interior decorating company, specialising in office refurbishments, says the whole programs are a joke. You could NOT do these refurbishments in an hour and on most of the jobs there are so many tradesmen at work they would just be getting in each others way. One hour of 'edited' TV time maybe, that is all.

What do others think?
 
the standard of the work is shocking,i`ve seen them throw up wallpaper costing over £100 a roll and it looks rubbish. however, they get all brand new stuff for free so that would make it ok, you can always redecorate later,
 
your relative is right. i think the best way to describe those shows is misleading.
most people know that the remodel cannot be completed in one hour.
