Synopsis:

Builder Rico León steps in to help Denver homeowners salvage renovations that have gone off the rails in Rico to the Rescue. Rico is an advocate for desperate families who need an empathetic expert to fix their stressful situations. In each episode, he and his skilled team tour the house to assess the projects, work to resolve issues with the builder and create a renovation and design plan to turn the construction nightmare into a dream home.

In the premiere episode, Rico meets a distressed couple who are more than a year into their unfinished renovations with a contractor. Upset by the builder’s poor communication and subpar project management, Rico unsuccessfully attempts to mediate the situation. He gets the project back on track and delivers a stunning basement overhaul. During the season, Rico rights more wrongs for clients who have been let down by their contractors, including restoring a young family’s fire-damaged townhouse and completing a downstairs gameroom.
