[5] To maximize efficiency and expertise, they hire local design, real estate, and construction companies in the cities where they film.

[11] However, they concede that conversations may be re-shot and incidents may be reconstructed due to disruptions on set (e.g. a plane flying overhead), to highlight how protracted problems were resolved, or because the cameras did not capture the real-time shot.

According to the organization, the honor was "in recognition and furtherance of their dedication to Habitat for Humanity’s vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.

[31] In the show's original premise, each brother was assigned a property of similar value and structure, as well as a team of home improvement experts, including renovators, builders, and designers.

[31] Given an identical timeline and a budget of $500,000,[32] each brother mentored his respective team as they made improvements on the home, and each week, the poorest performing member was eliminated from the competition.

as the referee, the twins each purchase and renovate a house of their choice using their own money with the goal of increasing the property value of each home.

[37] Also, the twins face weekly challenges before a panel of HGTV and DIY Network guest judges, including David Bromstad, Tiffany Brooks, Anthony Carrino, Hilary Farr, Jen and Brandon Hatmaker, Egypt Sherrod, Vanilla Ice, and David Visentin.

[38] Penalties for losing challenges included "be[ing] forced to endure miserable outings such as riding a terrifying amusement park attraction, climbing an 81-foot obstacle ropes course or heading out to sea to catch shrimp for the winner's dinner.

"[38] They sought to collaborate with fellow HGTV stars Chip and Joanna Gaines of Fixer Upper, which is filmed in nearby Waco, Texas, but the couple was busy.

[42] Commercially, the season had more than 12 million total viewers, and was the number-two cable show among upscale women aged 25–54 in its timeslot.

[47] The twins decided to sell their individual homes and purchase a joint property in 2011,[48] with the goal of establishing a hub for their extended family and friends.

[49] Jonathan began the search for a place that met all of their criteria (e.g. within 20 minutes of the airport),[3] and they ultimately purchased a foreclosed, 5400 square-foot house west of Mandalay Bay for $400,000.

In it, the brothers went back to the area where they grew up in the East Canadian Rockies in Longview, Alberta to accomplish a 10-week renovation of the ranch of family friends Tom and Rosemary Bews.

[58][57] As part of the show, the brothers—along with Nashville songwriters Victoria Shaw and Chad Carlson[59]— wrote and recorded two country singles that premiered during the third and fourth episode of the series.

"Hold On" hit #38 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart and was accompanied by a music video that has more than 5 million Vevo views.

[64] The house's owner was displaced after damage caused by Hurricane Katrina; a fraudulent contractor then took her renovation money without completing the work.

Guest judges Scott Bakula, Hoda Kotb, and Ben and Erin Napier were brought in to decide the winner.

[66][67] Drew and his fiancée, Linda Phan, completed filming a five-episode chronicle of the 12-week remodel of their home in Los Angeles.

[68][69][70] The show, called Property Brothers at Home: Drew’s Honeymoon House,[71] aimed to have all the renovations done in time for the couple’s wedding rehearsal dinner.

[74][69] Both a renovation and restoration, the couple sought to preserve elements of the English-inspired architecture while adding modern updates, Hollywood glam, and an Art Deco design style.

Maximizing the wedding theme from the home renovation program, the network will produce more than a dozen short-form videos around the show,[76] as well as exclusive digital and social content, a national print story in HGTV Magazine, and a special episode of Food Network's Cake Hunters (which will air in February 2018).

[78] The brothers regularly got feedback from fans on social media asking for a program for persons who wanted to remodel the homes they were already in.

[81] In the show's premise, Drew has the homeowners tour nearby renovated homes to figure out which features they can and cannot live without.

[85] The June 10, 2019 episode featured the renovation of the home of JD Scott, the twins' older brother, and his fiancé, Annalee Belle.

[96] Celebrities invited to the first season of the show included Brad Pitt, Viola Davis, Rebel Wilson, and Melissa McCarthy.

[5] In 2015, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt announced that they had signed a deal with Drew and Jonathan for the book Dream Home: The Property Brothers' Ultimate Guide to Finding & Fixing Your Perfect House.

[121] The book, published by HarperCollins, relates a fictionalized version of a time that the brothers built a dog house for a neighbor.

[121] In conjunction with the book's release and through partnerships with Kohl’s, Heart of America, and HarperCollins, Scott Brothers Global announced that they would makeover one elementary school library.

In addition to focusing on Drew and Jonathan's exclusive take on home décor and design, Reveal spotlights entertaining, family, food, gardening, outdoor living, wellness, music, travel and more.
