What’s Really Going On Between the Good Bones Cast?
Let’s get real for a second—things have been a little tense in the Starsiak family lately. Tad Starsiak, the charming contractor from Good Bones, dropped a pretty revealing comment about his relationship with his sister, Mina Starsiak Hawk. And trust me, it’s got fans buzzing. In an Instagram video, Tad opened up about his decision to start his own business four years ago, and let’s just say, it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows.
Tad’s Instagram Video: A Subtle Yet Powerful Message
Tad, who’s only 30 years old but has already lived a lifetime of drama, explained in the video why he decided to strike out on his own. It wasn’t just about chasing his dreams—it was about survival. "I had to start it quick because I didn’t have the best break with the last business I worked for," he said. Now, here's where it gets interesting: Tad also mentioned that he had just bought a house two weeks before leaving his previous job, which meant he needed to act fast to keep the lights on. "Not having any income, I had to decide what to do—whether to go work for somebody or start my own business," he added.
Was He Talking About Good Bones?
Now, here’s where things get a little tricky. Tad never actually named the company he was referring to, but let’s be honest—fans of Good Bones are quick to connect the dots. Many commenters on the video were quick to ask if Tad was alluding to his time working with Mina on the hit HGTV show. One follower even chimed in with some words of wisdom: "He would not speak out against Mina. Not his nature." And Tad? He agreed wholeheartedly, responding with a simple but powerful "This! 🙌🏽🙌🏽." It’s clear that Tad respects his sister, even if things are a little rocky right now.

Tad’s Brother Weighs In
Another voice in the conversation? Tad’s brother Johnny Starsiak. Johnny jumped into the comments to clarify things, writing, "I’m his brother, pretty sure he didn’t mean Mina." It’s a family affair, folks, and it seems like Johnny is doing his best to keep the peace. But let’s not forget—this isn’t the first time Mina and Tad have had their differences. In fact, Mina has been pretty open about the root of their issues.
Mina’s Side of the Story
Mina, who’s now 39 and a household name in the home renovation world, shared her perspective on a September 2023 podcast episode. "My brother Tad said some really awful stuff to me," she admitted. "And I’m sure he would say that I’ve said some awful stuff to him too. But the most recent stuff he said to me, he can’t say it’s not what he said. He can’t say I misunderstood. It’s in text and it’s black and white, and that was kind of my final straw there." It’s clear that Mina feels deeply hurt by Tad’s words, and it’s not something she’s willing to sweep under the rug.
The Final Straw: "Sucks to Suck"
Mina elaborated on their falling out during an episode of the "Tea With Alice" podcast in November 2023. She revealed that Tad’s final words to her before she decided to distance herself were particularly cutting. "I have given him so many opportunities in life because of all of the hard work I have done," she said. "I have shared those opportunities, and they were never owed to him, but he very much acts that way and treats me that way, and then said some really s–ty things that ended with, 'Sucks to suck.'" Oof. That’s gotta sting.
Tad’s Wedding: A Missed Opportunity?
And if that wasn’t enough, Mina also made a revealing comment about Tad’s engagement. "But right now, all he has done is tell me he is engaged and that I’m probably not invited to his wedding," she said. While Mina tried to play it cool, saying she didn’t really want to go to any more weddings anyway, it’s clear that this is a sore spot for her. At the end of the day, family drama is never easy, but it’s a reminder that even the most successful people have their share of challenges.
