You need a licence to drive a car but you don't need a licence to own a home. I Wrecked My House with Steve Patterson is a renovation series that features homeowners who have literally wrecked their houses and need to be rescued.

Episode List

S1 • E1

The Hole-y Ceiling

Tim's no-know-how has resulted in renovation blunders in almost every room of the house including a massive hole in the kitchen ceiling and zero privacy in the bathrooms.

S1 • E2

House of Cards

Mike is a hard-working father of three who seems to be single-handedly keeping the entire spray foam industry in business. His fourth-generation farm house seems to be mostly kept together with the stuff.

S1 • E3

Shades of Duct Tape

Phil has a penchant for fixing things cheaply yet creatively, often using various hues of duct tape. He has used this trusty sticky stuff to fix towel bars, curtain roads, electrical sockets, sink pipes, dry wall and about 20 door knobs.

S1 • E4

Yogi Lair

Dan says he's pretty handy and has started dozens of reno projects in his home. Unfortunately, he's finished zero.

S1 • E5

Blanket Reno

Dave ripped out his entire basement and replaced it with blankets, carpet remnants and old furniture and now no one will go down there but him. The question is, is he hapless or an evil genius?

S1 • E6

The Human Stopper

Rita is not even remotely handy. But she is creative. She fixed a leak in her living room ceiling with duct tape and a puppy pad. And despite having no bath tub, Rita has found an absolutely ingenious way to bathe in her stand-up shower.

S1 • E7

The Convertible Kitchen

Josh's house of disconnected cabinets, poorly-patched holes and terrifying electrical work gives the unwreckers lots to do and little time to do it.

S1 • E8

Nine-Fingered Fixes

Greg is a well-meaning unhandy man who has a natural talent for causing more damage than he fixes - evidenced by his missing reno-related index finger.

S1 • E9

Ripped Out

Gabe has started about 367 new renovation projects in his home. Unfortunately he's finished zero, which means his home has no kitchen, no living room and is missing a necessary weight-bearing wall (which he also took out).

S1 • E10

Hockey Sticks Fix

No one will ever criticize Gardner for not being creative. Instead, they'll probably criticize his complete lack of construction skill and the insane renovations found throughout his home.

S1 • E11

Totally Wrecked

Andrew is the outdoorsy-type. Unfortunately, his house needs an indoorsy-type to rescue him and his family.

S1 • E12

Wall of Shame

Cindy is a doer. So when the family homestead started to feel too small for the constant mess of guests that visited, she did something. She tore out a wall. Unfortunately, that wall is what keeps the roof up.

S1 • E13

The Tear Down

When Vitoria had a baby, her stepdad Joe decided he'd buy her a house and fix it up himself. But Joe's fix-up skills are not really skills at all.

S1 • E14

The Turtle Room

Don wanted a fresh-looking kitchen, so he took all the doors off the cupboards (good start), sanded them (this is getting exciting) and then put some finish on them and voilà: they look terrible.
