According to reports, Netflix pays for renovations on Hack My Home. Similarly, some Reddit users confirm that Netflix covers all the payments for renovations shows.
Aesthetic or functional transformations are shown in home renovation shows, which makes them addictive. But there are other things that make us ponder while we watch them. To maximize space, a new Netflix renovation series, Hack My Home, combines engineering, technology, and creativity. What remains is remarkable. But watching it only raises more questions.
In the series, four specialists visit people’s homes and look for a room to hack with design, creativity, and technology, all of which are used to maximize space. Jessica Banks is the engineering specialist, Mikel Welch handles design, Brooks Atwood handles imagination and creativity, and Ati Williams handles construction.
Since the quartet develops its concepts at a headquarters where they can sketch and subsequently build parts of their plans, all of the residences are in the Atlanta region.But who really pays for all of the renovations? Well, let’s find it out.
Previously, we touched on how to apply for the show.

Previously, Netflix also covered all production costs for the show Queer Eye, including the cost of the makeover. According to one Reddit user who appeared on Queer Eye:
In my case, they asked my landlord if it was okay to renovate. Once they got approval, they started buying stuff and remodeling. They didn’t finish remodeling the house, they just finished enough of it for the show which sucked. They only had like 4 days, which is understandable. Once the show is over they send you some money to help with covering the tax season for the stuff, since it’s all categorized as gifts. The house renovations were my landlords, the clothes and stuff were mine.
Similarly, each expert is compensated to appear on the remodeling show and share their expertise. And Bobby Berk of Queer Eye previously said to Netflix, “They [stars] get to keep everything. This is all financed by Netflix and our amazing partners.”
Hack My Home’s Team Transforms a Room in People’s Homes Using Technology and Inventive Design!
The Hack My Home team’s hacks are all very enjoyable, and despite the short length of the episodes, they’re presented well enough for the ordinary viewer to comprehend what’s going on, even if the technology itself isn’t thoroughly detailed. But we’re curious about what will happen once the cameras leave the house, given all of this cutting-edge technology.

One of the things that always puzzles us during renovation shows where one room or space is fully restored is that the homeowners are now left with one incredibly modern, attractive room, but the rest of their house still looks the same as it did when the team arrived. That is exactly what we observed with the Westbrooks’ house. It appears that the family’s eclectic style (which reminds us of our own throw-things-together-in-a-room aesthetic) conflicts with their sleek, high-tech basement. Imagine attempting to sell a house like that; if we were viewing it, we’d be puzzled as to why the basement was so wonderful yet the rest of the house was so drab.
The renovations appear to be large and costly, therefore we’re hopeful that the producers will cover the vast bulk of the costs. But we also question what would happen if the mobile walls failed, becoming caught in an odd position or moving back while someone was still behind them. Is there a kill switch? Is the mechanism covered by a warranty? What will the Westbrooks have to pay, say, a decade from now, if the wall-moving mechanism breaks, the company that developed it goes out of business, and they have to find someone to repair it?
The producers of renovation shows never, ever consider this, and given how much new technology is employed in these designs, we really have to question the practicality of these makeovers given that, you know, the homeowners have to really live with it on a daily basis.
