Kirsten Meehan On HGTV’s Renovation 911
HGTV is back with another house restoration series and it’s called Renovation 911. The show features two sisters Kirsten Meehan and Lindsey Uselding as they embark on a quest to fix property disasters in Minneapolis. Or as HGTV puts it, “helping clients see past the distress to create a totally transformed better-than-before dream home.”
Overall, the series will consist of eight episodes where the sisters rebuild a home destroyed by a raging fire, investigate a house left with a gaping hole from a car crash, save a client’s home from a flooding disaster, and tackle a hail storm that hits Lindsey’s own home, and much more.
Renovation 911 premiered on March 28, 2023. But Kirsten announced the news a year before on her IG post, captioned, “Big news, it’s official, THIS is happening!? @lindsey.uselding and I are going to be on TV!!! Coming to HGTV.
How Much Is Kirsten Meehan Net Worth?
Kirsten Meehan flaunted a net worth of above $1 million in 2023.
This renovation expert started her career at Ungerman in 1998 as a summer job painting and doing the demolition. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2004, she then joined the company as a full-time project manager and became its co-owner.
Her sister, Lindsey Uselding also joined Ungerman in August 2013. So, fast-forward to October 2022, Kirsten asked Lindsey to join her on her new venture and co-founded Practical Home.
At Practical Home, the duo then offered innovative savvy solutions with strong visual impact and even greater protection against the biggest home safety concerns. “We’re all about keeping you and your family safe with a beautiful design that protects against the unexpected,” they said.
Also, they urged people to break the female home improvement taboo into “What. Can’t. She. Do.”
Personally, Kirsten loves sharing savvy design solutions anyone can replicate. “My design philosophy centers on the beauty of functionality and empowering the self-starter in you,” she said. The star also added that though her job stresses her to no end, she really loves it. “One of the best parts is when friends put their faith in me. When they buy an old place and together we find the potential and shine it up,” she explained.
