Got a Remodel to Show Off? Become an HGTV Star

HGTV is seeking upscale remodels for it’s one-hour special, "20 Ways to Add Value to Your Home."

The network is seeking indoor or outdoor remodels that are completed or in progress ― depending upon the type of remodel.

The ideal project for HGTV would be one in which a dramatic change or "makeover" to a home occurs through one of the remodeling projects listed below. The project cannot be a “whole house” remodel, gut or “flip” of a home. 

  • Home Office Remodel — A conversion of an existing room or an addition. This can be a completed project.

  • Master Suite — Remodeled from combined rooms or an addition. This can be a completed project.

  • Deck Addiction — This can be a completed project.

  • New Roof — This should be a project in progress.

  • Bathroom Addition — This can be a completed project.

  • New Windows — This should be a project in progress.

  • Paint, Paint, Paint: indoor or outdoor — This should be a project in progress.

  • Make Additional Rooms Flexible, Don’t Over-Customize — A multipurpose room or room that can be converted so it can used in several ways. This can be a completed project.

  • Minor Kitchen Remodel — The entire kitchen has not been gutted. This can be a completed project.

  • Minor Bathroom Remodel — The entire bathroom has not been gutted. This can be a completed project.

  • Siding — This should be a project in progress.


HGTV will not be filming projects about brick houses, condos or apartments, or complete guts or “flips.”

If the project is in progress, HGTV plans to film the process, interview the crew and home owner and record “beauty shots" of the finished product.

For completed projects, HGTV will need “before” photos in order to show the home’s transformation.

All projects in progress would need to be finished by Friday, Oct. 13 and the home owners would need to be willing to participate for at least one days’ filming and an interview that may take several hours. Attendance and participation by a company representative would be appreciated.

The participating company will receive credit on the show and the HGTV Web site.

For more information or to discuss a project, contact Jesse Achtenberg at 202-266-8142 or Skye Trimble at 202-747-4622, both of the NAHB Production Group.
