The Extreme Makeover design team stands alongside the Jauregui family. Pedro and his wife Phyllis are raising their three children — Andrew, Cheyenne and Evangelina — in their Paloma, CA home. Pedro credits his military experience for shaping the career he's established for himself, but in doing everything he can to support his fellow veterans as they transition back to civilian life, his family's home has been neglected.

See how the team renovates this home indoors and out, while complying to local historic codes and retaining the home's original Craftsman-style charm.

Estimated at only 860 square feet, the Jauregui's traditional Craftsman-style home was a small space for the family of five. Built in 1922, the home was nearly 100 years old, and in need of many updates. Bug infestations were an ongoing issue for the family, and years of termite damage threatened to make the home unsafe and uninhabitable.

Without altering the architectural components that define this historic Craftsman home, the design team completely refreshed it with new stone and wood details, fresh paint, a new driveway and a flagpole to honor Pedro's service to the country. No longer a structural concern, the new home is warm and welcoming, offering so much to the historic community, and the family inside.

Behind the walls of this 98-year-old house exists lots of damage — it was even worse than the team expected. Situated in the Wilton Heights Historical District, the team needed special permission from the City of Pomona to update the home. Overgrown landscaping, a neglected lawn and overgrown edging on the sidewalk contributed to the home's lack of curb appeal. Its overdue upgrade made all the difference.
