Returning to her Doris project in Detroit, Nicole and her contractor make a plan to restore the back structure of the house. While tackling the exterior, Nicole finds that the old porch is not what it seems.

The premiere episode will open in stunning Wyoming, where Nicole visits the house she bought sight unseen. After ripping out the features from a cheap flip, she will start to uncover all her beloved old house details, including original floors and plaster walls, and will put a breathtaking twist on the hideous exterior with custom narrow Victoria-era windows. When an urgent call reveals squatters have been living in her 1928 Detroit property, Nicole will quickly head to the Motor City and oversee the massive cleanup in the disgusting house. She'll scope out the many original details, including subway bathroom tile, a built-in telephone stand and a laundry chute to the basement, before she and her team replace the dilapidated roof—the first step in restoring the home to its original glory.
