    Boise Boys Season 1 Episode 6 - Idaho Meets the Southwest
    9.5/10(7 votes)

    #1 - Idaho Meets the Southwest

    S1:E6

    Luke and Clint expand their business into the hipster town of Garden City -- an up-and-coming area of Boise replete with coffee houses, breweries and man buns. When a farmhouse along the Boise River goes on the market, they jump on the opportunity to give it a Southwestern vibe. The guys install custom-made wrought-iron railings inspired by the existing arches on the second-story landing, commission a local artist to design and create ceramic art for the walls and build a custom bookcase for an upstairs reading nook decorated with cacti and a cattle skull. Along with these unique features are a mountain-themed accent wall and a horse-trough tub in the master suite resulting in a collection of oddities that could prove to be a hard sell. Other issues, including rotten floor joists on the second floor, require even more time and money from the guys who were merely planning on selling the farmhouse but may end up having to "sell the farm" instead.

    #2 - Ugly Duckling Craftsman Transformed

    S1:E3

    Luke and Clint snag a 1,373-square-foot Craftsman home in the historic North End of Boise, despite its high cost of renovations. In order to turn this ugly duckling into a beautiful swan, they install a brand-new front porch with cedar-shake siding and revamp the attic space to make a functional new floor with a Jack-and-Jill bed and bath. Topping it all off and keeping with the Craftsman theme, they repurpose 100-year-old wood from the original construction by wrapping it around the kitchen vent hood and visit a local glassblower for some custom-made light pendants.

    #3 - An Odd Couple of Homes

    S1:E1

    Clint and Luke have an odd pair of homes to choose from for their next investment property: a dated farmhouse and a midcentury modern split-level.

    #4 - All-In on Boise's Central Rim

    S1:E2

    Designer Luke Caldwell and contractor Clint Robertson have an exclusive offer to purchase a stunning 3,100-square-foot, midcentury modern home on Boise's scenic Central Rim. The catch? They have to pay $350,000 in cash and potential renovations add on an additional $300,000. One bad decision could break their business but with the right design, this big gamble could reap a huge profit and become the company's flagship home. Focusing on the home's amazing views, the guys raise the roof, add massive sliding glass doors that open to a 300-square-foot ceramic entertaining area and purchase a unique 400-pound black walnut headboard from a local woodworker so the view of downtown Boise can be enjoyed from the master suite while resting on a piece of Boise history. It's the most they've ever invested in a single property but the finished product is a stunning masterpiece.

The design becomes more eclectic as Clint and Luke get deeper into project, and the theme of circles becomes apparent. During a break from the renovation, Luke takes his family to Boise's Buddy Walk to help promote acceptance and inclusion for people with Down Syndrome.

    S2:E6

    Clint and Luke make a huge investment on a sprawling four-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom ranch house in the foothills overlooking Boise.

The guys start by removing the awkward fireplace, rearranging the master suite and sprucing up the outside with a wraparound concrete deck complete with outdoor kitchen and extensive landscaping. Luke then spends extra hours filling up the home with staging items hoping the resulting transformation will be enough to attract the right buyer and make the months-long project worth the effort.
