Originally, the production company wanted Drew to work as the contractor because of his physique; however, when they realized that Jonathan was licensed, they switched the roles.{{sfn|Scott|Scott|2017|p=218}}

Cineflix searched for a distributor, and six months went by with no offers. But then, off the strength of the pilot, the W Network in Canada ordered a full season, while HGTV initially passed. When HGTV noted the show's success in Canada, however, they chose to condense the existing episodes to 30 minutes and air them on a trial basis. After the show scored number-one ratings for its timeslot, the network picked the show up for distribution in the US.{{sfn|Scott|Scott|2016|p=21}}

Using the expertise of the Property brothers, prospective homebuyers find a "fixer-upper" and remodel it into their dream home while staying within their budget. The featured families and individuals are often working towards a deadline, like the birth of a child or a special occasion. Originally, each episode started with Drew showing potential homebuyers a house with everything on their wish list, only to later reveal that the house was outside of their reach financially.

However, beginning with season 6 (10),The program's Canadian and US distributors have broadcast the program's episodes on different timelines and schedules. In this article, season and episode numbers are first listed according to air dates by the Canadian distributor (Corus Entertainment), and the corresponding HGTV numbers follow in parentheses. Drew began to explain from the start that the home would exceed their budget, and should only serve as inspiration. In either scenario, Drew and Jonathan then highlight the advantages of purchasing an older home. Afterwards, Drew takes the buyers on a tour of homes that are significantly less ideal, but have renovation potential, and the buyers are asked to narrow their choices down to two. Jonathan then uses computer-generated imagery to illustrate his imagined vision for the homes after significant renovations. The graphics featured on every episode are made by an outside company called NEEZO Studios at a cost of about $10,000 per episode.Real Style staff (September 2012), [http://www.realstylenetwork.com/celebrities/2012/09/interview-property-brothers-drew-jonathan-scott-on-women-dating-the-new-season/ "Interview: Property Brothers Drew & Jonathan Scott On Women, Dating & The New Season"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202000542/http://www.realstylenetwork.com/celebrities/2012/09/interview-property-brothers-drew-jonathan-scott-on-women-dating-the-new-season/ |date=February 2, 2017 }} Real Style.

After the family makes a final decision, Drew leads them through the process of bidding on and purchasing a home. Once a purchase is made, Jonathan and his team begin renovations. After the initial demolition, the family is kept away from the site, and are brought back at the conclusion for the final reveal.

The show's producers choose cities for filming based on a variety of factors including fan interest, proximity to a major airport, and diversity of architecture.{{sfn|Scott|Scott|2017|p=230}}

As is typical of home improvement shows with an accelerated renovation format, three experienced crews work on the house in tandem to finish within the four to seven week timeline. The brothers hire local design, real estate, and construction companies in the cities where they film.Stevens, Kimberly (September 6, 2014), [https://www.latimes.com/home/la-hm-home-show-hosts-20140906-story.html "For Home-Improvement Show Hosts, a Paradox: Every House but Their Own"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170921094959/http://www.latimes.com/home/la-hm-home-show-hosts-20140906-story.html |date=September 21, 2017 }}.
