Thanks to HGTV, Roberts Electric’s Marc Torney has a new home. His wife, who loves to bake, insisted on a baker’s station. And yes, Marc did all the rewiring!
Roberts electrician Marc Torney and his wife Rosalia were trying to buy their first home, but they couldn’t find anything they could afford in Oakland–a common dilemma for a lot of Bay Area would-be homeowners.
Their real estate agent knew the producers of HGTV, who were looking for a couple for the pilot of their Power Broker program, and the Torneys were a perfect fit.
They found a house that was structurally sound with a lot of potential. It got a new coat of paint, and they refinished the hardwood floors, but the kitchen and bath needed more extensive efforts–new tile, cabinets, flooring and countertops. For the kitchen’s baking station, a marble slab–Rosalia loves to bake.
The Power Broker team did a great job with the makeover–and not surprisingly, Marc rewired his new home himself!
