Next Episode of Restoring Charleston is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
In Restoring Charleston, licensed contractor Trent Fasnacht has a passion for renovating pig's ears, aka old homes in Charleston, S.C. "I love it when people say 'you cannot fix this house,' " Trent says. "It's a big challenge, but that's part of the excitement in a town known for its distinctive architecture style.'' The challenge stems from the condition at which Fasnacht first encounters the homes -- abandoned, condemned or burned out. He and his team demolish old additions and remove rotten materials to transform the centuries-old structures back into the beautiful homes they once were. Trent says he's no magician; just a home renovator who wholeheartedly loves every inch of restoring extremely neglected homes.
While restoring the home's exterior and working on the porch, Trent and his crew experience a setback. Trent finds three sisters who are descendants of the family who originally built the house back in 1895.
Trent restores the first floor of a cottage by rebuilding the stairs, kitchen, living room, and dining room; he finds antique appliances for the kitchen, and he gets creative when he realizes there's no room for the half-bath he wants to add.
Trent opens up the roof in order to add more square footage for a master bathroom, then he adds an antique vanity and a unique floor; Trent meets with traditional sweet-grass basket weavers to gain inspiration before decorating the master bedroom.
For a cottage with no curb appeal, Trent rolls up his sleeves and attacks the exterior of this historic home. He safely removes asbestos-ridden siding and replaces it with siding that matches the cottage's time period.
