The sisters and hosts of "Renovation 911" knew what they were getting into when they decided to become rescue renovators. Kirsten Meehan and Lindsey Uselding's father helped to operate Ungerman, a Minnesota clean-up and repair business that has been around since 1977. These days, the Ungerman team appears on "Renovation 911" episodes.
"Our dad was the first employee with Ungerman. ... He really has been in the business his whole career, and we've been going to job sites with him since we were little," Uselding told HGTV. The pair learned that, unlike most home renovation projects, these disaster home repairs don't follow a set schedule. "Emergencies happen any time of the day or night, and he'd be like, 'All right girls, we gotta go.' We've seen it for a long time." With so much exposure to the business, Meehan and Uselding were seemingly meant to take on this job.
