Host Ty Pennington, along with a talented group of designers, contractors, and community volunteers, collaborate to renovate the home of the Martin family, bringing hope, joy, and a truly life-changing experience.
The episode begins by introducing the Martin family, a loving and resilient group who has faced numerous hardships in recent years. Through a series of emotional interviews, we learn about their struggles and the impact it has had on their lives.

As the design team arrives at the Martin family's home, they witness the extent of the challenges faced by this extraordinary family. The house, in desperate need of repair and updates, fails to meet the needs of their three children, each with unique disabilities. With limited accessibility and an inadequate layout, the home presents daily obstacles that hinder the children's development and hinder their full participation in family life.
This episode approaches the project with a particular focus on meeting the individual needs of each family member. The designers collaborate with therapists, educators, medical professionals, and specialists to ensure that the renovated home becomes a supportive and nurturing environment for all.
As the construction begins, we witness the designers' creative ideas materialize, with the focus on innovation, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. Ramping up their game, the team incorporates an array of cutting-edge technologies, universal design principles, and custom solutions. From sensory rooms tailored to the unique needs of one child, to an adapted bathroom for another, the renovations aim to create spaces that promote growth, independence, and inclusivity.
Outside, the design team transforms the backyard into a safe and accessible oasis for the entire family to enjoy. The outdoor space is tailored to accommodate each child's needs, providing space for therapy sessions, imaginative play, and relaxation. The team works tirelessly to create an environment that brings the family closer together, encouraging outdoor activities and fostering a sense of joy and unity.
Meanwhile, host Ty Pennington leads the charge in rallying the community, organizing local volunteers, and spreading awareness about the Martin family's inspiring story. Together, they show the family the power of unity and the overwhelming support from those around them. In this episode, special guests make heartwarming appearances, adding an extra touch of surprise and delight for the Martin family.
As the episode reaches its climax, the time comes for the big reveal. The Martin family, filled with anticipation and hope, stands in front of their transformed home, waiting to see the astounding changes that the design team has created. The curtains rise, and the expression of awe and joy on their faces says it all – they finally have a home that truly meets their needs, supports their dreams, and bolsters their love for one another.
