Series from 2013
Each week, this crew of fashion models-turned-handymen will tackle a home makeover project, helping their clients with remodeling challenges. With the…
In the series premiere, the Hott and Handy team have a high maintenance, self-proclaimed princess as their client. Adina is obsessed with pink and can't wait for her closet to showcase her bold style taste. However, Kim and her five male models-turned-handymen don't share the same vision for the remodel--and if Adina's not a satisfied customer, she won't stay quiet. Meanwhile, Mike meets with executives from Calvin Klein for a chance at modeling for the brand. In the end, will Kim and the Hott and Handy boys come through for the princess, or will she make them redo it?
The Hott and Handy team deal with a commitment-phobe client, Kahshanna, who thinks she's ready for a change. However, at the first sign of change in her Harlem apartment, she begins to freak out and becomes unsure if it's what she really wants. Meanwhile, Gage meets with a high-fashion designer about runway modeling, but when the designer suggests that he lose 10 pounds, Gage becomes undecided in what he will do. Then, while shopping for outdoor decor, Kim suggests a statue, but Kahshanna hates it and refuses it. The two begin to argue about Kim's design choices. Will Kahshanna give up control to Kim and love the design--or will she be left disappointed?
The Hott and Handy team are all about challenges--but this week, they have their hands full when Kim announces their client is another contractor! Will having an additional foreman overseeing the job get in the way and stifle their creative process? Plus, the boys start comparing body parts to determine which of them has the most modeling potential.
The guys are in for a challenge when Kim brings them a high profile client who also happens to be her picky friend, Lori Levine. Lori is a successful publicist whose New York brownstone is frequently photographed because of her impeccable design. But she's got two rooms that have never been seen--and those are her bedroom and walk-in closet. Although her bedroom can be salvaged, her closet is one large mess of shoes, clothes, purses and other odd ends--which sure makes it look like she's got a hoarding issue. What's worse is she's already fired three contractors, and Shane's top-notch fashion (and lack of a handyman's rough hands) is steering her in that same direction once again.
Brooklyn couple John and Felicia have carefully decorated the communal areas of their Park Slope home, but the private spaces--including their master bedroom and their sons' bedroom--have fallen by the wayside. With the help of Hott and Handy, they're hoping to transform their home into a beautiful hideaway. However, the team quickly realizes that Felicia isn't afraid to speak her mind and John's design background has him obsessing over minute details! Will the guys be able to prove their worth, or will they lose the job entirely? Meanwhile, Donny's outdated modeling reel is making him the butt of everyone else's jokes, so he figures it's about time to update it.
Brooklyn couple Joe and Jodie own a historic brownstone whose walls can't be painted or nailed into--yet they need a living room makeover. Joe turns to Hott and Handy when he sees how much stuff is on his wife's plate. But just because Jodie is overwhelmed, doesn't mean she wants to give up control. Even after approving Kim's design for her home, she checks up on the work constantly--only wanting to change everything from the paint to the overall construction. Meanwhile, Shane sets up Mike on a blind date and the guys do an entire photo shoot together on a yacht.
