  • Scott & Martina

    Boy buys townhouse. Boy meets girl. Boy marries girl. But, what about baby? That's what Scott and Martina are asking when they look around their townhouse, knowing that their first child is on the way. Now seeing their digs in a new light, the pressure is on to transform this former bachelor pad into a child friendly space. And doing it in time so that Martina and their new baby aren't forced to find a temporary home while construction is being completed. Not only does the home desperately need a nursery, but also a whole new bathroom with a bathtub to bathe the baby. Brandon, Jeff and Lauren are ready to help Scott and Martina get the house ready for their newborn baby girl before she grows out of baths in the sink.

  • Jerry & Sherri

    Jerry and Sherri thought they bought a home with a finished basement. After a three day torrential rainstorm, the couple noticed some mystery mold growing up the walls. Tearing out the paneling not only revealed previous, unresolved water damage disguised as a finished basement, but a sump pump that doesn’t work, a DIY waterproofing system and novice electrical work. Now, the mold is affecting Sherri’s health. Jerry hopes to surprise Sherri for her birthday with this much needed renovation upon her return from a visit with her mother. How exciting would it be if Sherri could celebrate her birthday in their amazing, brand new basement?

  • Marc & Chrissy

    Marc and Chrissy weren’t looking for a pool when they began house hunting, but one happened to come attached to the home they fell in love with. And so did an unfinished, dilapidated pool house that they now refer to as “the shack.” After an empty promise from a contractor who committed to fix the pool house after they moved in fell through, Marc and Chrissy assumed that entertaining outside would forever be a distant dream. With the piles of dark sludge in the pool and the unsafe condition of the pool house, it was easier to close the curtains and not look outside. Nevertheless, they are committed to hosting a high school graduation party for Chrissy’s cousin. The barren pool still needs to be acid washed, sandblasted and repainted. There are bird nests in the pool house rafters, the roof is caving and more wood siding falls off every week. Now that graduation day is approaching and the pool floaties have been bought, Marc and Chrissy desperately need the Drill Team to help them complete their vision and pull it off before the big party.

  • Brian & Dawn

    What happens when a brutal winter is combined with a sun room that looks like it has definitely seen its last summer? Dawn and Brian’s uncomfortable, water-damaged sunroom feels more like a carport with walls and not the place for welcoming the warmer seasons or guests for that matter. Quick cover-up methods by the previous homeowner left them with rot, rust, cracks, holes, shady patch-up jobs, mismatched paint, ripped screens, a disheveled brick wall, a stone pathway leading to nowhere and a naked concrete slab in the middle of their otherwise spacious backyard. Furthermore, Dawn is supposed to throw her twin sister an amazing engagement party. The invitations have already been sent out and the party is fast approaching. Can Brandon, Jeff and Lauren help them get this mind-boggling eyesore ready for entertaining?

  • Edd & Lori

    Imagine it. You spend six months painstakingly renovating your “dream home.” The mental, physical and financial exhaustion can now take a back seat because it’s time to finally relax and celebrate the finished product on a well-deserved vacation. Then, the unthinkable happens, the phone call no one ever thinks they’ll receive: “THE HOUSE BURNED DOWN.” Pardon me? After a faulty fireplace went haywire, all Edd and Lori had to their names were the clothes on their backs and what was in their luggage. Now, after struggling to rebuild their house, they’re about to run out of their temporary housing situation and their home is nowhere near complete. Can Jeff, Brandon and Lauren help them secure a Certificate of Occupancy in time by building a new kitchen, dining room and living room? Or, will Edd and Lori be homeless before their home can be rebuilt?

  • John & Kirsten

    It was love at first sight for John and Kirsten when they saw this historic home on their daily walks, built in 1902. When the opportunity came to buy it, they only needed to know where to sign. After moving in, the peeling, exterior lead paint needed to be replaced. No big deal, right? Except when the painters left the windows open to “hear the radio” while they were dry sanding, dry scraping and burning lead paint off of the exterior, they severely contaminated the entire interior. Now, the Youngs have a wedding reception/anniversary party coming up for John’s sister who helped them greatly while their home was uninhabitable for 16 months during the lead clean-up. 100 people have been invited. That means that John & Kirsten need to finally move out of the guest room to make room for overnight guests. Can the 2nd floor apartment be converted to a master bedroom suite in time? What about squeezing in a new bathroom and changing room? Is this the last hurdle in their lead-filled nightmare?

  • Ryan & Sue

    No one expects to return from their tropical vacation to find the tropics inside their home—in the basement, no less. That’s what happened to Ryan and Sue when they walked in and heard a curious sound coming from the basement. They stepped right into 6 inches of water throughout and a broken pipe spewing water everywhere. Stored clothes, Sue’s wedding dress, a new pool table and brand new Brazilian hardwoods that were stacked in the basement awaiting installation upstairs were just a few of the items that were ruined. Their basement needs to be recreated from scratch. And as their bad luck would have it, Ryan and Sue have already invited about 20-30 of their college friends to have a reunion at their home. Flights have already been booked and no one knows about the flood. Can this formerly finished basement be transformed in time to be just a funny story for old friends and not a dangerous, damp dungeon?

  • Christine

    Christine is a busy single mom with three children. When she moved them into a 1940’s home, she knew it would need some updating and that the kitchen would need to be the first big project. One night, sparked with enthusiasm about remodeling the house, Christine decided to tear down the walls that separate the kitchen, dining room and foyer. Originally thinking it would lead her bravely into the renovation and make clear what path the space should take, it only led her NOWHERE. Christine needs this DIY project-gone-wrong to be brought into the 21st century and for her downstairs to be an inviting place for family where she can cook and entertain comfortably. As if drywall that looks like Swiss cheese isn’t embarrassing enough for her three kids, she promised her son, Frankie who is the student counsel president, that she would host his pre-prom party there. Right now, it’s more like a back drop for a construction zone with hospital lighting rather than the back drop for a posh prom party. Drill Team to the rescue.

  • Richie & Nicole

    Richie and Nicole love their Jersey shore house. Every summer, their family and friends meet there to reconnect and vacation from their busy lives in the Philadelphia suburbs. Problem is, a pipe burst and flooded the whole house from the top floor down to the basement. Richie’s hectic work schedule and Nicole’s hesitation to bring their small son to this flooded and gutted danger zone have prevented them from working on it. Now, time is running out before the annual family gathering that so many count on. The Drill Team is ready to swoop in and not only help make the house completely “company ready” but make it even better and more functional than it was before.
