Is HGTV’s No Demo Reno Staged?

Jenn Todryk doesn’t pretend like she does it all on “No Demo Home Reno.” When it’s time to whip out the tools and get started on the hard labor, contractor Victor Manta is there to help her bring her vision to life. According to Todryk, she also does some off-camera work. After Season 1, Episode 2 aired, she informed her Instagram followers that she was still putting the finishing touches on one of the houses she was renovating long after the cameras stopped rolling. “I stayed up till around midnight staging this house the night before reveal because it HAD to be perfect,” she wrote. 

What she didn’t share is that Atmospheric Home Staging gave her a huge helping hand. The business didn’t just provide temporary furnishings to make the living room look fab, they also created a mood board featuring the cohesive pieces it used. “We staged a quaint, single-family home,” its website reads. It’s unclear if that “we” was meant to include Todryk.

In her interview with DFW Child, Todryk revealed how she was pitched “No Demo Home Reno” with an offer of this type of assistance. “They were like, ‘No, we’ll do everything. We just need you,’” she recalled. She also marveled over how undemanding her new gig was, revealing that the production company kept its promise. “It was from the very beginning quick, easy, painless. I just felt like God made it too easy.”
