Who pays for the renovations on Farmhouse Fixer? HGTV’s new show costs explored Thu 4 March 2021 00:00 Celine Byford
Carter Sullivan HGTV is known for its popular home renovation shows, but there’s a twist in this new series – it will be farmhouses getting the treatment.
Jonathan Knight and Kristina Crestin are set to host Farmhouse Fixers, hoping to turn the spaces from basic to beautiful.
Clients will be turning to the HGTV series for help, and it’s likely that viewers are going to wonder exactly who pays for the renovations.
So, we explored exactly who pays for the farmhouses to be fixed, comparing the show to other HGTV renovation series…
Who presents Farmhouse Fixer?
New Kid On The Block band member Jonathan and designer Kristina will be hosting and working on the series.
Jonathan has been renovating homes for more than 20 years, while Kristina runs a New England-based residential interior design business.
It is the first time that the duo have ever worked together, as part of this brand new HGTV series.
Like so many others, I have these thoughts.
And I'm sure everytime you read them, even if redundant, they are appreciated.
I cannot wait to watch #FarmhouseFixer, to see you on TV, in your element that most of us have only seen a glimpse of. Proud of you!

How does Farmhouse Fixer work?
Jonathan and Kristina use their expert skills to renovate farmhouses.
Each project is different, from families who want to overhaul an old home, to a client wanting to preserve a 280-year farmhouse.
In one episode, the duo get to work on ahistorical house from 1873, and transform the place into a vibrant, modern home for a young family.
Kristina will use her designing skills throughout the series, while Jon brings his renovation experience to the table.
Omg omg it’s finally here!!! @JonathanRKnight ‘a show debuts tonight! I am beyond excited!! #FarmhouseFixer

Who pays for Farmhouse Fixer renovations?
Although it has not been confirmed by HGTV, it is most probable that Farmhouse Fixer renovations follow the same format as Fixer Upper.
Each client pays for the design work, but they usually get the added bonus of HGTV chipping in money for one big item, such as a sofa or table.
Homeowners are not required to pay Chip and Joanna, who star on Fixer Upper, as HGTV covers the talent fee. It’s likely that the same goes for Farmhouse Fixer, and that Jon and Kristina don’t get paid.
