Plot Synopsis

DISASTER DECKS is a half-hour reality series that follows master designer and carpenter Paul Lafrance, as he rescues decrepit DIY decks. From demolition to design, he gives these weekend warriors the tools they need to succeed, as he helps them restore their outdoor spaces -- and their pride. In each 30-minute episode, Paul and his crew help a different homeowner transform a dilapidated deck into a modern masterpiece. Paul and his team provide the tools, the crew and the materials, while the homeowner contributes up to $3,000 for the job.

In the premiere episode, Lucie called for help when one of her friends put their foot through a soft spot on the deck, which hasn't been maintained in the 20 years since her husband, Darren, built it with friends.
