HGTV IS LOOKING FOR HOMEOWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED A BOTCHED HOME RENOVATION FOR THE SHOW "THE FIXER"!

After several weeks or even months of work did a contractor and his crew leave you with crooked kitchen cabinets, slanted counter tops, unfinished dry wall, or an unusable bathroom? Are you miserable because your home is in such disarray?

If you live in Southern California and have been taken advantage of by a careless or corrupt contractor, HGTV wants to send you ''THE FIXER''. Let our expert licensed general contractor and his crew rescue you from your botched home renovation.

"The Fixer" is looking for homeowners who live in the greater Los Angeles area, including Los Angeles, Ventura and Orange counties. Homeowners of all ethnicities with outgoing personalities should apply by sending a brief paragraph about their terrible renovation experience - don't spare any horrific details - along with photos of yourself and the contractor's dodgy work.

Send an e-mail with the photos and description of your renovation nightmare to StaceeV@citylightsmedia.com.

Please note: We will not make over a house from scratch. Only homeowners who have already experienced shoddy home repairs will be considered.
