Polar opposite friends Luke Caldwell and Clint Robertson take an unconventional approach to house flipping in their hometown of Boise, Idaho. While refined designer Luke likes to reach for the stars, rugged contractor Clint remains focused on their bottom line. With an endless inventory of old houses to choose from, the only decision this dynamic duo needs to make is which house to transform next.
With the help of their sons, Luke and Clint tackle a 1950s farmhouse and treehouse they've purchased on Boise's west side. This tricked-out home gets a new kitchen complete with church-pew seating and porcelain brick tile on the living room fireplace that matches the kitchen backsplash. The kid's room is stylized with whitewashed lap siding and functional French doors separate the master bedroom from the new backyard deck. Just when the guys think they're in the clear, however, a surprise weather event wreaks havoc on part of the home merely hours before the open house.

Clint Robertson and Luke Caldwell find a three bedroom, two bathroom ranch built in 1964, and they seize the chance to save both time and money by using their existing inventory of midcentury decor.

During a break from the renovation, Luke takes his family to Boise's Buddy Walk to help promote acceptance and inclusion for people with Down Syndrome.
Clint and Luke make a huge investment on a sprawling four-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom ranch house in the foothills overlooking Boise. The interior is covered with stucco, a giant fireplace blocks the amazing view and the exterior is riddled with features right out of the 80s. The guys start by removing the awkward fireplace, rearranging the master suite and sprucing up the outside with a wraparound concrete deck complete with outdoor kitchen and extensive landscaping. Luke then spends extra hours filling up the home with staging items hoping the resulting transformation will be enough to attract the right buyer and make the months-long project worth the effort.
Luke Caldwell and Clint Robertson choose a house that needs more square footage, but instead of expanding it into the backyard or building a second story, they completely tear it down.

Clint and Luke snag a four-bedroom, two-bathroom Spanish-Mediterranean home west of Boise. The home sits on two acres of overgrown landscape and has huge trees growing into it that threaten to tear up the foundation.

Later, one of the problematic trees is removed by a lumberjack who then sculpts the trunk into a striking art piece for the courtyard patio. With the home now in working order, Clint and Luke prepare to snag a buyer with their Art Deco masterpiece.
Clint and Luke take a risk on a 1906 Victorian in a coveted Boise neighborhood. To make sure they don't lose money on the deal, the guys embark on a record-breaking six-week renovation project that involves knocking out walls to make the small space feel bigger. Luke takes his kids on a hunt for antique chandeliers to set off the home's beautiful vaulted ceilings while Clint and his son build a library-sized bookcase in the dining room for added storage. The quick turnaround comes with a variety of issues that threaten to derail the whole project, however, including unexpectedly having to purchase new flooring, a last-minute feature wall mishap, a broken chandelier and more.
