When you’re married to a contractor, your house looks amazing 24/7, right? Wrong. According to Margaret Josephs, that's not the case. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

Back in 2018, Margaret told BravoTV.com about her under-construction home: “Ask me if it’s done — it’s not. It’s not even close to done, I’m still living in my closet. And when you’re sleeping with the contractor and you’re the girlfriend, you get a lot done. When you’re married to the contractor you get s--t done."

But there’s good news coming out of New Jersey right now, and that is that The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member's longtime house renovation is finally underway. Margaret revealed on the Season 10 reunion this week, “You’ll be glad to know our house is underway, there’s workmen there now, and Joe [Benigno] has let other contractors into the house!”

When Andy inquired if the work was almost finished, Margaret quipped, “Let’s not exaggerate.”

Margaret added. “People don’t realize I own the property next door as well, and it’s still not sold.”
