Sometimes,having a dream home can end in tragedy.
Natural disasters or accidents can strike at any time.
According to theStar Tribune, Meehan and Uselding hail from Edina, Minnesota.
They are also the stars ofHTGV’s binge-worthy show"Renovation 911."
The sisters are co-owners ofUngerman, a business that provides clients with emergency restoration services.
This includes damages from fires, storms, and more.
In “Renovation 911,” Meehan and Uselding give viewers an inside look at this process.
When it comes to restoring homes, the sisters have different roles.
The pair explained toHGTVthat emergency restoration is a rigorous job with time constraints.
Nevertheless, Meehan told HGTV that her job is beyond rewarding.
But how did the sisters get into this business in the first place?
It was all thanks to their dad, Ted Brinkman.
Uselding told HGTV, “Our dad was the first employee with Ungerman in 1977.
Brinkman worked his way up and became an owner of Ungerman.
Now, he’s the company’s CEO and stars alongside his daughters in “Renovation 911.”
PerUngerman’s website, Meehan joined the family business back in 1998.
Meehan, a University of WisconsinMadison graduate, began working as a project manager for the company in 2004.
Brinkman later decided to sell Ungerman to his daughters.
Meehan explained the progression of her career to HTGV.
With that said, Uselding did not start working for Ungerman until 2013.
Like her sister, Kirsten Meehan, Ungerman’s website notes that Uselding graduated from the University of WisconsinMadison.
Uselding admitted to HGTV that she was hesitant to take the opportunity.
Needless to say, it worked out for both sisters.
In an interview with the Star Tribune, Meehan explained how the family ended up on TV.
It’s not anything we sought out or thought we would be doing.”
Uselding told the publication that working with her sister on and off screen is a dream come true.
“Renovation 911” premiered in March 2023.
