Real-life couples apply to get on “Property Brothers” in order to get a dream home remodel by Drew and Jonathan Scott, but a Las Vegas couple ended up with a nightmare. As reported by KTNV, Paul and Mindy King signed up to be on an episode of the HGTV show and shelled out $193,000 to the production company Cineflix for their home renovations. Upon the reveal, the Kings discovered major issues with the house, such as uneven baseboards and not enough plugs for their appliances — and that’s not all. “They actually grouted the range to the wall and it’s not even a straight grout line. But on top of that, there’s actually grout in the burners and our brand new range was totally scratched,” Mindy told the outlet. The Kings filed a suit against Cineflix and contractor Villa Construction after the couple tried to get the situation remedied, but claimed that things were made worse.
After the renovations, Mindy told the New York Times that she had been dealing with health issues since living in the crudely built house. In another claim, Mindy and Paul stated that the dishwasher wasn’t properly installed, leading contaminated water to flow into the appliance while cleaning. The Kings initially asked for over $1 million in the suit but the Nevada State Contractors Board found the costs to be quite lower than that. “This is an obvious attempt by the Kings to garner attention and financial gain while the matter is still before the courts,” Cineflix stated.
