I enjoyed watching the show in the early seasons. The purchase prices were reasonable, and renovation cost were comparable to work done.
Now Ben's renovation cost are outrageous! They often exceed the purchase cost! $40,000 for a kitchen renovation! $15,000 to build a front porch. And the list goes on.
I have been in the construction business 40 years, No longer enjoy the outrageous renovation charges to unsuspecting clients.
Season 7 episode 8, $90,000 purchase price, $90,000 renovation.
My new construction cost range from $100 - $125 sq. Ft
