Overview:

Spending $140k on a home renovation may seem like a lot, but that money can go fast if you have to spread it throughout your home. HGTV design expert Monica Pedersen, along with a local realty expert, heads to Boston to determine whether three major home renovations really are worthy of the hefty price tag. Is converting a screened-in porch into a master suite worth almost half the budget? How big should a kitchen reno be for $140k? What is a waiting area... and will the experts approve of it? Our experts evaluate three very different renovations with three very different outcomes.
