The shows aren't footing the bill at all on most of these shows.
I did not know that about ALL of the shows, but some of them I did. Like, 'Income Property'. They almost ALWAYS blow the family's budget on the remodel.

It is not the only show, but that one comes to mind off the top of my head where I see them crying in their beer almost every episode and when they find mold, or water damage, etc..
