In 2007, Karen E. Laine was working as a defense attorney and her daughter, Mina Starsiak Hawk, was working as a part-time waitress. Mina is Karen's daughter from her first marriage to an orthopedic surgeon. The mother-daughter duo began flipping houses in their free time in the Fountain Square neighborhood of Indianapolis. In 2008, the two decided to open a home rehab business, called Two Chicks and a Hammer, Inc.

Mina, now a real estate agent, and Karen often incorporate green spaces and art from local artists to put a personal touch on the homes. Throughout the show, this mother-daughter team focus on the Fountain Square and Bates–Hendricks neighborhoods, revitalizing their hometown of Indianapolis one property at a time, buying dilapidated homes and rehabbing them into stunning urban remodels.

In every episode, they highlight members of their team, including Mina's half-brother Tad leading the demo crew, then head contractor Lenny (who left the show), who is Tad's step-father, and Lonny, their foreman.

In 2018's season 3, Mina gave birth to son, Jack. She is expecting her second child in September 2020.

In 2019, Karen and Mina took part in HGTV's A Very Brady Renovation.

On October 4, 2019, Karen announced her retirement from the family renovation company, Two Chicks and a Hammer, to spend more time with husband Roger. She will still be in the fifth season of Good Bones, focusing on DIY projects.

The duo opened a home furnishings store named Two Chicks DIstrict Co. at 1531 S. East Street in the Bates–Hendricks neighborhood on June 20, 2020. The business features a wine and beer bar and tables for laptop use. The building was originally the Lincoln Theatre, a silent movie house.
