For three years now, David, Isabella, and their two small children have been living with grandma and grandpa. The couple desperately wants to move before they overstay their welcome. But so far, their house-hunt has been lackluster and both agree they're difficult to please. Drew and Jonathan vow to get the family into a space of their own. But it soon becomes clear that the only way to satisfy their exhaustive wish list is to transform a fixer-upper into the home of their dreams. The risk-averse couple reluctantly agrees to the gamble, but getting them to appreciate ramshackle diamonds in the rough proves tricky. Later, the home they eventually buy puts the squeeze on Jonathan in more ways than one, and the pressure is on to create picture-perfect interiors, including fantasy-themed bedrooms for the kids.

Expecting their first child within months and fed up with squeezing into their urban condo, Derek and Jennifer are facing a serious time crunch in their search for a sprawling home in a family-friendly lakeside community. Drew and Jonathan promise to set them up with a great property where they can put down roots. Sold on the brothers' fixer-upper strategy from the start, the couple immediately dives into an ambitious house hunt. But getting them to see the potential of ramshackle real estate proves tricky. Faced with the potential for multiple offers, Drew comes up with a heartfelt plea to win over the seller. Later, Jonathan is hit with a long list of setbacks that threaten to derail the budget and the design plan, and then a surprise delivery changes everything.
