Known for his larger-than-life personality, Tad Starsiak brings bags of enthusiasm and a can-do approach to every home renovation project. In the first episode of Porch Peeps, the behind-the-scenes style video series created by Two Chicks and a Hammer, Tad claims that his nickname is The Hammer. His teammates jokingly disputed this assertion, however.

Tad is the son of Casey, Mina's dad, and Cheryl. He also has a sister, Jess. Karen took Tad in after a family tragedy. According to HGTV, Tad (and Jess) lost their mom at a young age.

"When I was going through that rough time, every day I woke up, and [Karen] was there for me," Tad told HGTV. "It's great having her as a teacher and as another mom."

Information about Mina's half-sister, Jess, isn't that easy to come by. Mina spent nine months looking after Jess's daughter, Julie, while she was sorting some things out in 2017.

"Julie lived with us for about nine months while my sister figured out her stuff," Mina told People in December 2017. "Now she's back with her, and she seems to be doing well. It's really good."
