Leanne and Steve Ford help a high school classmate make his 1900s Victorian home family-friendly, yet traditional. Leanne's plan is to knock down three walls and create an open floor plan with a gorgeous eat-in kitchen as well as a sunken family room that opens onto a custom deck. However, an exterior brick wall, ravaged hardwood floors and the ugliest kitchen the Fords have ever tackled may just stop them in their tracks.

Homeowners open up a can of worms when they ask the Fords to create a beautiful kitchen in their 1880s Victorian home.

The Ford siblings take on Leanne's dream renovation: a storybook cottage guesthouse.

After many failed attempts at fixing up the 1920s Tudor he grew up in, a couple brings in Leanne and Steve Ford to finish the job.

However, she must quickly come up with a new plan when Steve discovers water damage to the kitchen floors.
