When moving isn't an option, home renovation and real estate superstars Drew and Jonathan Scott will fix problematic homes for frustrated families in Don't Hate Your House with the Property Brothers.

During the six-episode season, the Brothers will confer with clients to understand their home's shortfalls and make a game plan to address what's not working for them.
With a set budget, Drew and Jonathan will take down walls, tear out kitchens and reconfigure living areas, assessing any hidden damage along the way that could impact the homeowners' wish lists.

Exhausted by manoeuvering for space, whether stepping on toes to prepare meals, bumping into each other on blind corners or simply using the front door, the family will lean on Drew and Jonathan to reimagine the home with an open concept, a large sliding door to add lots of natural light and greater access to the yard, as well as a redesigned kitchen and laundry room to better accommodate people and pets alike.
