Now anyone with access to HGTV can watch – and commiserate – as Rico León tackles half-baked home projects around Denver in a new series called “Rico to the Rescue,” which airs Saturdays.
Rico León has seen far more botched home renovation projects than the average Denverite. As a self-described “advocate for desperate families,” he has been helping locals navigate their worst construction nightmares by mediating with general contractors or taking on that role himself to help projects reach the finish line.
“I help people in disaster. If your house caught on fire, it’s not a good thing, but I’m the guy who helps you out,” he said. The biggest sticking point that León encounters during construction projects is, unsurprisingly, money. He said it’s essential that both the homeowner and whoever they hire to do the work see the same value of the dollar to keep things moving forward.
“Homeowners want to be lied to,” he said. “Like, ‘Oh my god, you can add a second floor and add all the mechanical, electrical, plumbing pass code and frame it and do it in three months in the state of Colorado? Wow, here’s money.’ Those are lies.”

13 Things Net-a-Porter's Market Director Would Buy Again'I resisted buying these for quite a long time because I didn't know if they were going to be something that came in and went out again. So I was quite late to the party on these. I only bought them last summer. But I think that's when you know you found a true forever piece, when they've been around for a few years, and you're still thinking about buying them\u2014then you know it's something that you really have to have. So I wore them every day last summer, whether that was with like a wide-leg pant, a long-line short...I think the only thing I didn't really wear them to was an evening event or a wedding. I'm already thinking about the tan ones for next summer, because they've definitely got another hopefully a long time left in them.'
