like, This Old House does that whole genre right and it was the originator to boot. but i guess that dosent get the same sorts of ratings. its a shame that WC Rehab simply dont seem to be a crew/production company that does or are interested sensitive restorations.
ill give them credit that theyre at least not doing teardowns (from a facade standpoint anyway), but the finished products are really just the worst.

My favorite was an episode where they rehabbed a 4 flat. They decided to keep it as a 4 flat rental, and she did her usual--finding vintage, TOTALLY unreproducible fixtures for each unit that are highly unique and styled in her particular way.
I was thinking, "dude, what landlord would want that shit? One thing breaks and it's nearly impossible to replace". Clearly she does not understand the rental real estate business
whatsoever and it shows, because last I had checked their finished building never sold to anyone.
