When Roy proposed to his fiancée, Lori, he promised that he would fix up their home before their big day. It's now eight months later, and the house is in the same dilapidated shape as when they bought it. Our antic crew — James, Sparky, Jenny, Greg and taskmaster designer Nani — somehow agrees to redo the living room AND the war zones this couple call their front and back yards. With their wedding day quickly approaching, Roy is never going to get the job done-alone. Led by designer Nani, a team of highly skilled and comedic contractors sneaks into Roy's house, and puts him to work for a total of three days, while Lori relaxes at a nearby spa. Roy endures pranks from the cast, a stubborn support beam and an intrusion of cockroaches to make good on his promise to Lori, who has little hope left in him.

It's the oft-told tale of a hardworking husband, a high-maintenance wife and the hideous shed that's ruining their dream house. Chris and Julia have a beautiful home-almost. Chris has spent the last two years renovating their run-down fixer-upper into a spotless waterfront house, while Julia has been more of a ""watcher"" than a ""doer"". The last part left to fix is the only part that's been Julia's sole renovation project — a cluttered, rotting eyesore of a shed. That's where In A Fix comes in: They surprise the couple, and in an uncommon role reversal, send Chris away for a fishing vacation while we keep Julia around for cheap labor. The crack team of four hardworking builders — James, Justin, Jenny and Greg, led by stellar designer Nani — have just three days to do what Julia couldn't do in two years: fix the shed and give Chris the tiki bar of his dreams. But between the massive demolition challenge of tearing down a whole shed, an ominous thunderstorm that catches everyone by surpris

In this episode of In A Fix, a contractor gets in over his head trying to fix his own house. Joe owned a contracting business for years. So when he promised his wife Angie that he would turn their home office into a dining room, she thought they would have their family gathered around the dinner table in days-wrong. It's six months later, and Joe's only gotten as far as demolishing the place. Joe's frustrated, the kids are embarrassed, and Angie's about to sell the house, just to get rid of this mess. That's where In A Fix comes in. Four expert builders — James, Sparky, Danny and Jenny — will have three days to turn designer Franzella's vision of a modern dining room into a reality. Joe gets to stay and work, while his wife and kids take a beach vacation. But it's not a smooth road ahead.

This week, the In A Fix gang — James, Justin, Sparky, Jenny, Greg, Danny and über designer Nani — comes to the rescue of Bob, a mullet-wearing good ole boy from Texas who's always dreamed of breeding and owning racehorses. Last year his dream came true — Bob moved his wife, Carmen, and their three kids into a ramshackle little farmhouse that was infested with snakes and fleas. It didn't even have a front door! For some reason, Bob never lived up to his promises, and Carmen is ready to take the kids and move out. The crew has three days to turn this mess into the stylish modern ranch of Carmen's dreams.

It's been over a decade now, and Kayleigh's room still has gallons of water damage, holes in the wall, and is about the size of most closets.

In this episode of In A Fix, the team sets out to the rescue a five-year-old who's living in an unfinished converted garage. A few years ago, Dan and Suzanne found themselves in a common homeowner jam: a five-person family crammed into a four-bedroom house. And Dan's grand thinking came to the rescue... sorta. He converted half the garage into a bedroom for his youngest son (and kept the other half for himself as an office). But then Dan's chronic inability to actually finish any home repair project he starts kicked in. The result? Let's just say his son Jacob is now six, he's moved on from Care Bears to superheroes, and he's still living in an unfinished room. So Jacob's unhappy, and Suzanne is at the end of her rope: she has pleaded, she has threatened, she has prayed-now she called In A Fix.

He's a CCU nurse and she's a graphic designer. When Cornelis moved in three years ago, he promised to renovate their home and got as far as the kitchen and living areas. The kitchen now consists of angular tiling because he didn't want to cut them. The ceiling is covered with large strips of styrofoam because he thought it would suffice as insulation. He was also supposed to convert another room, once a garage, into a home office for Renee-a creative space where she can work from home while tending to their kids. That room soon became a storage pit-a cluttered, steaming-hot, styrofoam insulated area they can barely walk through. Renee wants her and Cornelis to spend more time participating in activities they love, like rollerblading. But with all the clutter, she can't even find the skates. He claims to not have the t
