Extreme Builds

Extreme Builds on A&E® showcases nine couples from around the country as they risk their savings to build their dream homes. More problems mean more money as every day brings another expense. The realities of home renovation come to the fore with delays, fights with the contractor and changes to the building plan. As the stress of the build creeps in, the couples start to rethink their plans. From the first-time homeowner to the avid do-it-yourselfer to the experienced contractor, these renovators juggle tight deadlines and even tighter budgets that put a strain on their already rocky relationships. The couples must manage the pressure before they lose the house – and potentially each other.
