Since 2020, Shea and Sy McGee help people on Netflix to transform their homes into their
dream home. Allow me to introduce you to the cast members of the second season of
‘Dream Home Makeover’.
1 The Hansen Family
With a total of 22,000 square feet, the property of the Hansen family was one of Shea and
Syd’s largest projects so far. Travis and LaRee Hansen are married for 20 years and bought
a beautiful home together. You won’t believe it, but their property has not only seven
bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms but an entire NBA regulation-size basketball court attached to
their house. Definitely a big project for Shea and Syd.
But let me introduce you to the Hansen family now. LaRee and Travis Hansen are married
for 20 years. Travis played professional basketball for ten years, hence the basketball court.
He played for the Atlanta Hawks, in Russia, and even in Madrid. Today, he is a successful
entrepreneur. Together with his wife LaRee he built the non-profit organization ‘Sunshine
Heroes’, which builds children centers around the world.
2 Omar and Josh
The next home belongs to Omar and Josh, a lovely couple from Mill Creek, which is south of
Salt Lake. Together, they live in a mid-century home that was built in 1956. However, it’s
only been three months since they bought it!
The house comes with a little apartment off the back, which Omar and Josh want to
transform into a beautiful mother-in-law suite. And that’s why they need Shea and Syd’s
help.
Omar and Josh have been together for seven years. Now, guess where they went for their
first date. To a corn maze! But besides their love for extraordinary dates, they share their
passion for mid-century modern design. You will find a lot of furniture of this exact design at
their home.
However, the reason why they decided to ask Shea and Syd for their help to renovate the
little apartment in the backyard is not the happiest story. Omar’s mother cannot live on her
own anymore. Therefore, Omar and Josh decided to take care of her and want her to move
into the apartment.
3 Mandi and Bryce Winkelman
In Episode three Shea and Syd meet the lovely Winkelman family. Mandy and Bryce live in
Lehi and have not two, three, or four children. No, they have six children, four of them are
twins.
Six years ago, the family moved into their beautiful home. Over the past couple of years,
they did some renovation work. If you have that many children you need to make your home
a little more functional.
However, there is one big improvement left. Especially mother Mandi is not happy about this
problem. And that’s the master bathroom. For six years, there was no door to the bathroom.
And with six small children at home and no door you will hardly get any privacy. Luckily,
Shea and Syd can help Mandi and Bryce out.
4 Madison and Nick
The next house for Shea and Syd’s makeover is the 111-year-old home of Madison and
Nick. The house was built in 1908. Madison did not only grow up in that house, but she also
made lots of memories there. Her grandma lived for more than 70 years in that house and
her sister got married in the backyard. No wonder that Mandi loves her home so much!
Over the past couple of years, Mandy and Nick did some renovation work to make the old
house look a bit more modern. However, they need Shea and Syds help with their old
kitchen. But luckily Shea and Syd are more than happy to help the parents and their three
little children.
5 Shazia and Taylor
In Episode five, Shea and Syd travel into the wilderness where they meet Shazia and Taylor
near Heber City. With their one-year-old daughter Lyla, Shea and Taylor live in an old house
right in the nature. Can you believe that the home’s only heat source is an old fireplace?
However, Shea and Syd assure us that they never get cold at home.
Both of them love being in nature and going for a hike into the nearby mountains. Only one
year ago, they lived in Salt Lake. Even if they loved the city feeling, they decided to leave the
city after making a life-changing experience. One day, while sitting at the beach armed men
with masks came running towards them and robbed them. That was when Shea and Syd
decided to leave the city and to live in a safer place with their little daughter. Luckily, both of
them can work remotely
8 Jessica and Tyler Stone
The last home of the second season of Dream House Makeover is located in the small town
of Salem, 1.5 hours from Salt Lake. Here, Jessica and Tyler Stone and their two children
need the help of Shea and Syd to renovate the master bedroom.
11 years ago, Jessica moved to Salem where she met Tyler. They have been together ever
since. Now, Jessica wants to surprise her husband with a new master bedroom. But here
comes the sad story: Just a few months ago, Tyler had a stroke at the age of 33. He had an
operation and spent weeks in hospital and in rehab.
Luckily, everything is slowly going back to normal. Now, Tyler is even back at work. The
perfect time for Jessica to surprise her husband with a brand new master bedroom.
