Premise
[edit]Erin and Ben Napier renovate houses in the small Southern town of Laurel—frequently in its historic district. Each episode begins with a potential client choosing a home from two or three options that the Napiers recommend. A renovation plan is presented to the client, but the actual work is done without the client's participation. Episodes end with the Napiers revealing the completed renovation to the clients.
After being featured in Southern Weddings magazine and on the magazine's Instagram feed, the Napiers were contacted by HGTV.[8] The show premiered in January 2016 and was highly rated in the first three of the show's aired seasons.[9]
Hosts
[edit]Erin and Ben Napier met while they were students at Jones County Junior College, near Laurel, prior to enrolling at the University of Mississippi, and were married in 2008.[8][10] They have two daughters, Helen, who was born in January 2018,[11] and Mae, who was born on May 28, 2021.[12]
In 2024, their Alma Mater Jones College named the new Erin and Ben Napier School of Design and Building Arts building in their honor; the program trains students to teach the skills needed to fill a workforce gap of skilled building designers, carpenters, trades workers, and craftspeople.[13]
