The team works to renovate beach houses in the coastal Delaware region into homes that are both aesthetically pleasing and can withstand hot summers, high tides and hurricanes.

"My passion is helping homeowners restore their beachfront properties into places they will love for generations,” Oursler said in a release. “I’ll take their weathered, outdated properties and turn them into beachfront gems once again.”

Oursler moved to Bethany Beach in 2003. She built a home for herself in 2004, a second one in 2006 and then began Marnie Custom Homes in 2007. She was awarded a 2013 Gold Stevie Award for women in business and was named one of Professional Builder Magazine's 40 under 40.

The first season had 13 episodes and began March 20.
