Premise[]
In 2007, was working as a defense attorney and her daughter, Mina Starsiak Hawk, was working as a part-time waitress.[4][5] Starsiak Hawk is Laine's daughter from her first marriage, to an orthopedic surgeon.[6][7] The mother-daughter duo began flipping houses in their free time in the Fountain Square neighborhood of Indianapolis.[5] In 2008, the two decided to open a home rehab business, called Two Chicks and a Hammer, Inc.[8]
In addition to renovation work, Starsiak Hawk is also a real estate agent.[9] Laine retired as a stakeholder in the business in 2019, but continues to appear on the show and participate in renovations.[10]
Their signature style includes creating green spaces wherever possible and incorporating work by local artists and craftsman to put a personal touch on the homes. Karen often restores or repurposes objects found in homes. The mother-daughter team expanded into the Bates–Hendricks neighborhood, and recently expanded into Old Southside - all areas with dilapidated homes, which Mina, Karen and crew renovate or restore.[11][12][13]
Other family members who appear on the show include Starsiak Hawk's half-brother Tad, who leads the demo crew, assisted by his right hand man, former offensive lineman Austin “Bobkat” Aynes.
Lonny, their foreman,[1] and longtime head contractor and Tad's step-father, Lenny, also appeared. Lenny left the show in 2019.[14]
Starsiak Hawk and Laine created a video to explain the complex family relationships among the team.[15]
In 2019, Laine and Starsiak Hawk took part in HGTV's A Very Brady Renovation.
In 2018's season three, Mina Starsiak Hawk and her husband Steve Hawk[16] had their first child, Jack. In September 2020 she gave birth to their second child, daughter Charlotte.[17] [18]
On October 4, 2019, Laine announced her retirement from the family renovation company, Two Chicks and a Hammer, to spend more time with husband Roger. She appears in the fifth and sixth seasons of Good Bones, focusing on DIY projects.[19]
In 2021 HGTV ordered a seventh season as well as a spinoff series called Good Bones: Risky Business.[20]
Other business[]
The duo opened a home furnishings store named Two Chicks District Co. at 1531 S. East Street in the Bates–Hendricks neighborhood on June 20, 2020. The business features a wine and beer bar and tables for laptop use. The building was originally the Lincoln Theatre, a silent movie house. Most recently it housed a countertop laminate fabrication firm. Two Chicks and a Hammer purchased the building in 2015 for use as a warehouse. An episode in Season 5 detailed the building's renovation.[21]
