Last year, Drew and Jonathan Scott announced that they would be givinga deserving family of eightthe home makeover of a lifetime — and now, they’re officially sharing the finished product.
Back in February 2020, theProperty Brothersstars, 42, teamed up with home security companyADTfor a contest called Pass the Protection to give one winnera home makeover worth $250,000— twice the average budget on their shows! — and a new home security system.
After sorting through more than 11,000 applicants, the twins selected the Moffitt family of Southern California to receive the grand prize. Parents Jeff and Amber submitted a video sharing how the renovation could make life better for their six kids — three of whom are adopted, and two of whom have special needs.
The brothers focused on renovating two main areas of the family’s home: the tiny kitchen and the carport, which they converted into a full-time therapy room. And as the pictures (below) of the reveal show, the entire family couldn’t be more excited or grateful.

“Hands down, the best part of this entire process was seeing the Moffitt family’s reaction when we unveiled the renovations to their home,” Jonathan tells PEOPLE of the reveal. “Their excitement and reactions were so heartwarming.”
Drew agrees: “The Moffitts are an incredible family and seeing their reaction to the renovation brought tears to our eyes. Reveals like this is why we’re so grateful for the work we do.”
In the kitchen, the brothers added plenty of storage as well as a breakfast bar, so the entire family can now spend time together in the space while meals are being prepared.
The brothers first visited the family’s home in September to do a walkthrough and finalize the renovation plans — and the kids were just as excited as Jeff and Amber to welcome them.
“Apparently this morning, in anticipation of our arrival, the kids woke up like it was like Christmas morning,” Drew told PEOPLE at the time. “It was 4 AM, the kids were all up, they were excited about what they were going to say and do. They had all kinds of ideas for how to fix the house up.”

Drew added: “They’ve definitely been watching our shows as well, because their sons Jesse and Willis every two seconds were asking us a question aboutBrother vs. BrotherorForever Home. Like, ‘Remember this episode when you pushed Jonathan in the ocean?’ So they’re pretty excited.”
On Monday, the handy twinscelebrated their 400th renovationin aToday Showsegment where they were presented with a special surprise video.
Homeowners who have been featured on their shows over the years as well as some of their famous friends and family members — including Rainn Wilson, Michael Bublé and Jonathan’s girlfriend, actress Zooey Deschanel — thanked the brothers for their hard work over the years, and congratulated them on the major milestone.
