Renovation, Inc: The Beginning

After a five-year promise to his wife, builder Bryan Baeumler takes on the challenge of building his dream home from the ground up. While tackling builds for clients, Bryan knocks down his house's walls and helps new apprentice Adam learn the ropes.

With the foundation set and the framing going up, the construction site is starting to look like a home, but Sarah has other ideas. Her studio's end-of-season dance recital is coming up, and she has recruited Bryan to help build the stage.

When a plumbing code change is thrown at Bryan, he struggles to keep this project on track. Delays mean time and money -- and now more than ever, Bryan needs to stay focused. Then, a prior commitment causes him to leave Adam in charge of the site.

Heavy rainfall and bad timing during the build cause Bryan and Sarah's dream home to take a major hit when flooding wreaks havoc in the basement. Weathering the storm, Bryan still manages to pull off a surprise for Sarah.

Bryan Baeumler is feeling the pressure to stay on budget and finish the house in time when Sarah's priorities strike again! She and her designer Rebecca suggest changing the layout of the house, and Bryan can't seem to agree with their plans.

With the drywall complete, Bryan looks forward to getting started on the exterior of the home. Tensions quickly rise, however, when the measurements are off, the deck build raises issues and material orders face delays.
