Fix My Frankenhouse

Boston-based home renovation experts and husband-wife team Mike and Denese Butler fix what they refer to as "Frankenstein" houses. These are older homes that have become filled with wonky layouts, misplaced staircases and maze-like hallways as different owners make changes over the years. Mike employs his construction know-how to create a functional flow, while Denese will capture the clients' style with custom finishes. By blending elements of the older homes' charm with modern design, the couple will produce stunning and cohesive spaces. Throughtout the episodes, Mike and Denese will overcome choppy rooms and wasted square footage for clients and work with their dads -- master carpenters John Butler and Peter Doyle -- to deliver one-of-a-kind projects for each family.
