Reality Show Remodel Goes Horribly Wrong For Las Vegas Couple

An HGTV reality television show home remodel has gone horribly wrong for a northwest Las Vegas couple. They are now suing the show’s production company. In addition, they’re considering including the popular show’s hosts in their lawsuit.

Paul and Mindy King got married back in 2018 and bought a house in northwest Las Vegas. That’s according to an article by Joshua Peguero on 8NewsNow.com.

Subsequently, the Kings signed up with the popular HGTV reality show Property Brothers to have their home remodeled. In fact, per Peguero’s report, they paid about $200,000 dollars to have the work done.

Unfortunately, years later, their home is a mess. There’s sludge and sewer leaking out of pipes under the sink. The cabinets have disintegrated.

In addition, the sink on their island bar collapsed into the unit due to a similar leakage problem.

On top of that, every time they turn on the water in the kitchen sink, it backs up into their dishwasher. That unit is now filled with mold and other rather disgusting material.

But wait, there’s more! They haven’t been able to cook on their range because the company that did the remodeling work used the wrong size pipe for the gas line.

All of these remodeling disaster stories come via quotes from the Kings in the 8NewsNow.com posting.

I can’t even imagine the anger I would feel towards the producers of the Property Brothers reality show. I’m sure the Kings are livid.

They are now embroiled in a legal battle with Cineflix, the production company which hired the construction company for the Kings’ remodel job.

The work was apparently completed back in May of 2019. That’s five years ago, and yet they have not received any remediation for all these problems from HGTV, Cineflix, or the hosts of Property Brothers, Jonathan, and Drew Scott.

However, they are considering including the Scott brothers in the lawsuit to try and move the process along. Per Peguero’s article, a jury trial is scheduled in October of this year to try and settle this lawsuit.

If you’ve ever had the notion to see yourself on television in one of these reality shows, just know that it doesn’t always work out the way you hoped. Just ask Paul and Mindy King of Las Vegas.

If you have lived in Southern Nevada for any length of time, you know how fast this area has grown over the past three decades. Apparently, we’re still growing yet, as more and more people move here. Therefore, the demand for new houses continues, even after the COVID-19 pandemic slowed growth. Now, in a recent study, we find that Nevada still ranks in the top seven for states with the most new homes built since 2010.

The folks at RubyHome Luxury Real Estate recently began digging into the data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau. Specifically, they are looking at the 2022 American Community Survey for the purposes of this study. In general, the numbers show that there are over 131 million occupied households in the U.S. Of those, more than 15.7 million houses were built since 2010.

Furthermore, those figures identify the fact that close to 12% of all occupied houses in our nation are newly built homes between 2010 and 2022. According to information provided by RubyHome.com, 23 states across the country surpassed that national average of 12% for new-build homes. In fact, some states report that one in five occupied houses have been constructed since 2010.

Overall, southern, and western states seem to enjoy the most newly built homes since 2010. Five of the top 10 states in this study are part of the southwest and mountain west regions. We can safely say that Nevada is part of this region. Moreover, three states in the top 10 are part of the southeast region. One other state is on the mid-Atlantic coast. Finally, there is only one state from the Midwest to make the top 10.

It may be surprising to learn that states with very large populations such as New York, Illinois, and Michigan saw very little new home construction in the period of 2010 to 2022. Furthermore, states in the northeast and New England rank near the bottom in new homes built during this period. As a matter of fact, the New England states of “Rhode Island and Connecticut have the lowest rate of new-build properties in America.”

So, let’s see which states rank in the top seven for new homes built since 2010.

The "Silver State" ranks seventh in the nation when it comes to new home construction since 2010. According to the figures provided by RubyHome.com, 200,603 new homes were built in Nevada between 2010-2022. That accounts for over 16% "of the total occupied housing supply statewide."

North Carolina ranks sixth in the U.S.A. in this survey of new homes built. Since 2010, over 780,000 new houses have been constructed in that state, accounting for over 18% of the total number of houses in the "Tarheel State."

We don't have to go very far from North Carolina to find the state which ranks fifth in this study. South Carolina takes that spot with over 420,000 new homes constructed between 2010-2022. That accounts for 19.75% of the total single-family homes in the "Palmetto State."

We head back towards our region of the country for the state placing fourth in this survey by RubyHome.com. Our neighbors to the north in Idaho have also seen tremendous growth in new home construction over the past decade. Many people from northern California have been moving there. Idahoans have seen over 143,000 new homes built there between 2010-2022. That's over 20% of the total homes in the "Potato State."

We remain in the mountain west region of America for the state placing third in this study. Our eastern neighbors in Utah have seen over 233,000 new homes built since 2010. That accounts for 20.65% of the total single-family homes in the "Beehive State."

North Dakota is the only state in the Midwest region of the U.S.A. to make the top 10 in this study according to RubyHome.com. Per the information in their study, they fell just short of the top spot for new homes built since 2010 based on percentages. Between 2010-2022, over 68,000 new homes were constructed in the "Peace Garden State." That makes up 20.74% of the total number of homes in North Dakota.

Topping the list in this study is the great state of Texas. As they say, "everything's bigger in Texas," so why wouldn't they take the #1 position? In fact, according to RubyHome.com, residents of the "Lone Star State" "are more likely to live in a new, modern property than any other state across the country." Since 2010, close to 2.5 million new homes were constructed in Texas, making up 22.5% of all homes in the state.
