HGTV’s Jasmine Roth has zero regrets about trading sunny Southern California for the snowy mountains of Utah.

“Honestly, it’s just our happy place,” the Help! I Wrecked My House star told Showbiz Cheat Sheet of her new home of Park City. “We got married here in 2013. My husband’s been coming here since he was a kid, and it’s so beautiful. We were like, let’s do it. Let’s just do it.”

In the sixth season of her home renovation series, which premieres September 24, Roth is hard at work re-establishing her business in Utah and getting used to life as a mom of two. (She gave birth to her second daughter in September 2024, shortly after moving to Utah.)  

Though the relocation was a welcome change for the Roth family, it was also a “shock to the system,” she confessed. From finding the perfect office space to discovering the quirks of Beehive State homes to pumping while on the way to client meetings, the designer has a lot on her plate. And viewers will see it all in the new episodes. Roth said when she started filming, her goal was to “show everything.”

“We can’t just pretend,” she said. “The only way this is going to work is if we follow the real story.” 

Jasmine Roth adapted her California beach style for a new environment

The transition from Southern California to Utah involved more than just a change of scenery for Roth. The vastly different weather also forced her to rethink her approach to design.

“I have a boot dryer in my entry now. I would never have a boot dryer in my entry in Southern California,” she said with a laugh. 

The HGTV personality quickly realized that her Utah clients have different needs that those in the Golden State. For one, they’re more likely to be outdoor enthusiasts who need space to accommodate their biking, skiing, and snowboarding gear. 

Nor did her signature color palette fit with the mountain backdrop. 

“The really bright colors and the bright whites and the beach vibe just doesn’t work here in Utah,” she said. 

“I think that people are going to be surprised maybe by how different the design styles are. The things that made sense in Southern California from a design perspective, maybe using a palm tree, these really bright yellows and bright whites and all these colors … you get here and it feels electric here,” she continued. “You’re like, ‘Whoa, that is too bright.’ I think just really leaning into more of the natural tones here has been a big focus of my design.”

The DIY jobs homeowners should never attempt 

The environment might be different, but whether they live by the mountains or the beach, all of Roth’s clients want a functional home that meets their family’s needs. And they’re all in desperate need of help, from the season premiere couple who’ve inherited a family home marred by multiple failed DIYs to the newly single woman who wants to give the dated home where she raised her two kids a much-needed refresh. 

“In the second episode, you see someone who hot glue gunned tile back onto her kitchen to keep it together. That was a first for me,” Roth said of one eyebrow-raising home improvement attempt she encountered this season. 

Hot-glueing your kitchen tile probably isn’t the greatest idea. But the projects homeowners really need to approach with caution are those that involve electrical, plumbing, and gas lines. Those are best left to skilled professionals. 

“If somebody has the job you’re trying to take, if somebody does that as a career, it’s probably too much,” she pointed out. 

‘Help! I Wrecked My House’ star’s toughest client is close to home 

While Roth works to make magic happen for her clients, she’s also tackling personal projects, including building out her new office space and creating the perfect family home. The latter required meeting the needs of a very demanding individual: her oldest daughter. 

“She was my hardest client, for sure,” Roth said. 

Navigating her own family’s changing needs has helped Roth grow as a designer, she said. 

“When I first started, I was not a parent. I was not a mom,” she said. “I feel like I have such a better understanding now of family life. So being able to design for my clients that have kids or that are using their house in a different way, they need multipurpose solutions. I think I was always pretty good at it, but now I feel like it’s my superpower.”

“Also just understanding how much of a big deal it is to do a renovation,” she added. “You’re spending your life savings, you’re moving out of your house, you’re displaced. Emotions are high. There’s just so much unknown and stress. I don’t know that I fully appreciated that in my early career. And now it hits hard.”  

Help! I Wrecked My House premieres Wednesday, September 24, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Episodes stream the next day on HBO Max and discovery+
