Sometimes, a dream house turns into a nightmare. That’s the case for one homeowner on this week’s Home Town, airing Sunday at 8 PM ET on HGTV. Everything’s Coming Up Roses (Season 9, Episode 16) sees Ben and Erin Napier taking on a particularly fraught renovation—a house stalled not by structural issues but by pure contractor shenanigans. Imagine paying a mortgage and rent for two years because your dream home is basically a construction zone of broken dreams. This client doesn’t have to imagine it: she’s living it. Now she is stuck.
Enter the Napiers, who swoop in to rescue the project (and the homeowner’s sanity). While the Laurel, Mississippi-based duo is known for restoring historic charm, this rescue mission goes beyond crown molding and shiplap. The series has always traded in feel-good transformations, but episodes like this add a layer of real-world relatability—a clear reminder of the financial and emotional stakes when home renovations go bad.
Ben and Erin Napier once again mix their small-town charm with problem-solving savvy to get the job done, offering viewers both design inspiration and a heavy dose of emotional catharsis.
“Home Town” airs Sundays at 8:00 PM ET on HGTV.
