Help! I Wrecked My House

I like the show, and I don't think Jasmine is rude to her clients, she's just direct. I think the formula of the show is fine, it follows the standard home improvement formula that is so common. I'm not too picky, I love watching before and after home transformations. For me it's mostly about the visuals and I can mostly ignore the cheesy scripted dialogue. What I don't like about the show is that Jasmine always takes all the credit. She says "I did this" and "I did that" or "I have to do this or that", when in fact it's a crew of talented workers actually doing most of the work. I get that she is the one executing the vision, but I really think she should give credit where credit is due and stop sayin "I" and start saying "we" or "the crew and I". I would also like to see Jasmine working with more contractors and tradespeople of color. It's all very white. Including the clients. Let's see some more people of color included in this show.

Some of the best interior designs I've seen if you've got the money. Jasmine is personable. However most viewers won't catch the construction errors. Such as using galvanized pipe for gas. Or installing dangerous railing on a second story deck (rails going horizontally allowing kids to just climb up and over instead of using vertical balusters). Or poor window flashing (no sill pan flashing, caulking the bottom flange allowing water to get trapped, reverse lapping the bottom flashing (house wrap should go under the window flashing here not over it). Just about every show I see something. It's just sad that aesthetics are more valued here than building codes and good practice engineering.

Some good stuff but some really annoying and frustrating. Why do they rip up a perfectly good solid wood floor in several rooms and replace it with vinyl just because it creates 'a good flow throughout the house'. Then they add a bunch of things the client didn't ask for, like spending $2000 on a slab of tree to make a door, then ring the client and tell them about an unforeseen 'issue' (there's always one in this formulaic program) and tell them they'll need to find another x thousand dollars. Why not just ditch the stupid unneeded extras no one asked for and do the job within budget.

I find Jasmine to be very likeable and kind and do not find her condescending in any way, like others mentioned. Are we watching the same show? I think what may be happening is that the script of the show is just pointing out why these people need help (because some episodes have people who really need help well others not so much in terms of wrecking their house). It's the first season so I am sure they will find more clients who really did wreck their home and will also improve the show as it goes. Sometimes it's an editing issue that can shape what we see and with repetitions that can seem to make the dialogue overdone. Also, I have watched clips only and not full episodes but my impression is that Jasmine is kind, real, and does give her clients what they want and ask for. I am enjoying the show and looking forward to new episodes.

I Love the show. All these men hating on a female builder is rediculous. She's telling them what they did was super dangerous. Yes she is real with them. She's a carpenter first. She's about the business. Im not into these shows normally but love this one. These bitter people in the ratings need to chill. My only complaint is all the white. Not every single episode goes over budget. I think the show gets better after she has the baby though. You can't please everybody i guess. I thought it was a new take on these shows. Showing the damaged house. She also tries to help rebuild the diy confidence in people during the episode. I love that she lets them enter alone an look around before she shows them things. Good show. Wrote the review because these other reviewers bashed her because she's female and that's dumb. She's not rude, she's serious when she needs to be serious.
