Home renovation experts Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas fulfill their dream of restoring Motor City’s iconic American neighborhoods one house at a time in the new series Bargain Block<\/em><\/strong>, premiering Wednesday, April 14, at 9PM ET\/PT on HGTV. With help from their friend – lifetime Detroit resident and real estate expert Shea Hicks-Whitfield – the couple buys as many rundown and abandoned houses as they can on a single block and then renovates them to make them appealing, yet affordable enough for buyers within the community. While working on each of the under-renovation properties, Keith, a designer, and Evan, a builder, and carpenter, strip them to the studs to create affordable, stylish, fully furnished starter homes that are ideal for first-time homebuyers. As champions of the mantra, “everyone deserves good design,” the duo infuses each renovation with artful and surprising aesthetics that uplift the rehabbed home and serve as an inspiration for other houses and homeowners on the block.<\/p>\n

“I love Detroit because it actually feels like you can make a difference here,” said Keith. “There’s a sense of pride and urgency. We’re all in this together and we’re trying to build the best community that we can. And I love that.”<\/p>
