Dallas-based contractor Russell J. Holmes helps clients on tight budgets rev up their stalled home renos.

With more than 20 years of construction experience under his belt, Russell knows how to move quickly to keep costs low, where to spend strategically to get maximum results, and, with help from designer Paige Poupart, find savvy ways to thrift and repurpose items, delivering gorgeous results every time.
The season opener will spotlight clients Jessica and Joseph, whose hodge-podge, mid-century house needs a major makeover to make it liveable for the family of four.
Unsure of how to proceed and plagued by conflicting design opinions, Jessica and Joseph will turn to Russell and his team to take over the seemingly impossible project.
After learning what design elements are important to each person, Russell will present a renovation plan that blends it all beautifully - and keeps it on budget.
The cost savings gained with the couples' sweat equity and a willingness to keep a few of the home's original features, as well as clever repurposing and upcycling of items they already own, allows more money for a stunning modern kitchen, a fresh family room and more.
