Yet another HGTV show with exactly the same formula as every other: 1. A couple teams up in their home improvement business. He designs and builds, she decorates the finished product.

2. Wealthy people spend $200,000+ to update their homes.

3. 5 minutes spent showing the old design, 5 minutes showing demo, 5 minutes on nifty computer generated plans, and 5 minutes on the precise placement of throw pillows.

4. A soundtrack by your neighbor's kid's garage band.

The designing couple seem nice and the setting is gorgeous, but it's not enough to carry the whole show. HGTV formulaic programming at its most mediocre.

I just watched three episodes! Not impressed. It is the same format, scripted narrations. Even adding a smalll Renovation in the same show as another show to much repeat of conversations not new. HGTV announcing this show was that it was supposed to be DIFFERENT. I thought this was going to be different but NOT! Too much wood and things that you will get tired of seeing. I understand it is in Colorado but take out wood then add more????? The thing that gets me is, does Christi ever brush her hair. Maybe that is the difference - not groomed! It is really not different than any other home improvement show. They need to review their own show and figure out how to make it different.

If you are looking for stilettos, overly tight skirts, and loud squeals from bossy designers then this isn't for you.

Instead there's Colorado scenery, lots of nature, and unassuming hosts who produce good, well finished designs.

I was very pleasantly surprised and am enjoying this show.

Building Roots on HGTV is a breath of fresh air in the world of home improvement shows! It's a delightful blend of creativity, practicality and heartwarming stories. The team's dedication to transforming spaces while honoring their historical and cultural significance is remarkable. The hosts expertise and genuine passion shine through as they breathe new life into forgotten places making them vibrant homes once again. The show beautifully captures the essence of revitalization, showcasing how creativity can uplift hearts and inspire, bringing people together. Building Roots isn't just about renovations; it's about revitalizing communities and preserving their stories. A must watch!

I love seeing all the beauty of Colorado. What a great place to set a home improvement show. Ben and Cristi are fun to watch. Cristi gets quite the twinkle in her eyes as she walks around recently gutted spaces and imagines what is next. And the ease with which Ben puts his latest ideas on paper is inspiring to watch. Oh to have all of that talent! The team that works with Ben and Christi seems like they enjoy what they do and work wonders with demo and renovations. I enjoy this show very much and hope there are many more seasons in the works. There is nothing like beautiful, beautiful Colorado!
