INVESTIGATIVE: Vegas homeowners sue 'Property Brothers' show for faulty remodel

A Las Vegas couple's appearance on a popular reality show has convinced them of a harsh reality: Things aren't always as rosy as they seem on TV. In this case, it's a home remodel on HGTV.

Doesn’t matter if it’s a show or not. They need to have the work done properly whether they paid $200 or $200k.

[human_kittenz]

If I paid 195, 000 like this couple did, I'd expect everything to be perfect

[shilver]

I always thought the show paid for everything and was always envious of people getting their home re done on this show. What a SCAM

[thevaultkeeper]

Never hire a television crew as contractors.

[georgevoulgaris]

I’m a professional contractor. Those issues are much more than punch list items.They are a sign of incompetent if not bordering criminal.

[jroar]

It sounds like HGTV and the Scott Brothers need to hire real construction people to fix the problems or give the money back.

[mrich]

Wow. What a bunch of sloppy work. The contractors are lazy and have no pride in their work. They should be embarrassed

[giselle]

My heart goes out to the homeowners. The work was shoddy, and not to code.
I hope the homeowners win in court!!

[ProductionsDRM]

As a general contractor, these complaints make my blood boil. Nobody should pay 100% up front, we ask for 50% max with progress payments along the way. We always make sure that things are up to code and that any punch list items or major changes are taken care of to the customer's liking before accepting final payment AND we offer a warranty on any installed materials. Our name was built on quality and trust, not just making things look "pretty"...

[bilalahmed]

This is horrible. The property brothers and the production group should be held accountable. Now that they are trying to dismiss, says that they don’t want to make things right after screwing over their customers for almost $200K. The world today smh 🤦‍♂️

[a.walters]

This is what happens when a show has to cram a full home remodel into weeks when it should take months.

[marig]

I would never put my home and my savings in the hand of celebrities.

[princessbc]

The brothers saw that house before the couple came back home, if they okayed the work, they are part of the problem.

[elioraimmanuel]

Anyone who goes on a show expecting to NOT be screwed is insane. I can not count the number of times I have heard about these things going wrong.

[codingvio]

I could never leave my money and my house at the mercy of celebrities. One: TV shows only feature the good sides, two: celebrities only care about a constant flow of money into their wallets. Three: If a celebrity wants a lawyer just so he would respond, already shows that they are trying to cover something up, without losing their money.

[chinot]

I'm a local handyman in Los Angeles and a similar show for buzz feed try to hire me to do jobs for them for remodeling house and right away I realize they wanted to do things ASAP with cheap materials. I suggested and point it out certain things so that it will be done right and they said No we want quick and cheap doesn't have to be perfect. I didn't take the job.

[mistermax]

The fact that the "brothers" chose to respond through their lawyer speaks volumes.

[vitek]

For the fact that this is on national television this should be done like with prestige, ultimate and superb quality, I hope this couple wins!!!

[freedomforever]

The construction company should lose their license and be placed on probation untill all the defects and shoddy work had been completed and checked by a property/home inspector.

What a nightmare!!

[theoverunderthinker]

so they paid for the remodel, HGTV went "cheap and fast" and then pocketed the difference?
I can believe that!
