Asheville Episodes

One year after Hurricane Helene, all five families walk through the doors of their rebuilt homes. It's the finale we've been building toward for eleven episodes, and yes, you will cry.

Kevin tours a Georgia carpet factory (it's more interesting than it sounds), Miah's kitchen island gets a butcher block top, and the North Asheville boulder wall gets planted with succulents.

A nonprofit workshop pours a vanity top with sand from the Swannanoa River, Jenn sends soil samples to the lab, and Kevin finds out that antiquing after a hurricane has a whole different vibe.

James Beard award-winning restaurants are reopening, the mountain water that flooded everything also makes great beer, and the North Asheville chimney finally gets resolved — spoiler: they went with an insert.

Landscape architects wrestle multi-ton boulders into retaining walls, Paula gets a door-staining lesson, and Kevin explores how Biltmore Village is bouncing back from the storm.

A carpentry teacher's students are building actual houses for storm victims, new electrical codes demand bigger meters, and Tom Silva helps turn an antique chest into a bathroom vanity — and somehow makes it look easy.

Building science experts seal a house with pressurized mist (yes, really), FEMA tackles the hazardous trees still looming overhead, and Mark gets a history lesson at one of Asheville's most iconic hotels.

Jim's brother drives down from Jersey to tile a bathroom, a father-son roofing duo explains why four nails aren't enough anymore, and Kevin sneaks in a field trip to the Biltmore Estate.

Mark and a mason scope out chimney damage with a camera (it's not pretty), Kevin replaces siding in the mud, and the Army Corps of Engineers drops by to explain what 'relief efforts' actually looks like.

A meteorologist explains how the Blue Ridge Mountains turned Hurricane Helene into a rain machine, while the crew starts ripping out walls, replacing panels, and prepping for the long road ahead.

Season 47 kicks off in Western North Carolina, where Hurricane Helene turned neighborhoods into rivers. But the real star of the premiere? Worker housing from the 1920s that Tom Silva can't stop admiring.
