Ballatore and his crew of unconventional craftsmen transform lackluster homes into radical–yet functional–custom creations.[3] They make over multiple rooms in such locations as homes, offices, and any place suffering from drab decor that will benefit from Ballatore's unique and unapologetic design style. The series follows him as he explores new locations and design techniques, developing his craft, and finding his niche in the world of interior design.[2]
