Nominated for their DIY deficits by family, friends or colleagues, the participants are put though their paces at the Handyman Rehabilitation Centre - a dilapidated apartment complex in Toronto. Each Handyman and their nominator is assigned an apartment where they will execute all of the individual reno tasks. And outside, the participants must work together as a team to complete a variety of landscape challenges.

Each of the five new bumbling builders is charged with the task of building a shed. Sounds easy, doesn’t it? But this is no ordinary shed – building a luxury eco shed from scratch is the ultimate battlefield for these tool-challenged handymen.
Season 3
This time, instead of remodelling (demolishing?) units in an apartment block or constructing environmentally-friendly sheds, these hopeless handymen will tackle the unique DIY challenges associated with renovating a 100-year-old house, including plastering, plumbing, custom furniture and even electrical.

Season 4 brings together five of the country's most hapless handypeople and gives them the opportunity to 'fix up' a 100-year-old country lodge near Huntsville, Ontario.
Season 5
A new class of disastrous DIYers have moved into Reno Rehab, this time renovating a frat house in a southern Ontario university town.

This season, five horrible renovators head to the honeymoon capital of the world - Niagara Falls - to overhaul rundown honeymoon suites and try to transform them into heart-stopping romantic retreats… for better or for worse!
Episodes
Season 1
Demolition Day
The ragtag band of DIY bootcamp inductees arrive at Handyman Rehab and prepare to be hammered and drilled on the basic principles of construction by Canada's Worst Handyman's tough-love experts. Relegated to their apartments, the first assignments begin - who will emerge as the star pupil, and who will end the episode as the worst in the class?
Toilet Training
Arguably the most important room in the house, why is it that so many bathroom renovations go terribly wrong? This episode tackles the most private of spaces, as the Handymen struggle to replace a toilet, lay linoleum and tile in close quarters. Tempers flare and meltdowns abound as the Handymen see their reno ambitions go down the drain and one is named as the episode's Worst Handyman.
Some Assembly Required
It all comes crashing down as chairs break and shelves plummet to the ground in this episode that challenges the abilities and patience of the Handymen. In the wake of pathetic projects, who will earn the "most improved" toolbelt, and who must take the walk of shame to the Tool Shed for extra homework?
Counter Revolution - The Switcheroo
At the halfway point, Canada's Worst Handyman throws everything at the participants - including the kitchen sink! As they tackle the kitchen floor, sink, door and walls, the Handymen play the blame game and turn on their nominators - for helping too much or not enough. The gang is surprised when they learn that the nominators will be switched up for each and every task. Has anyone improved? And who ends up in the Tool Shed?
Six Degrees of Renovation
As four of the Handymen decorate, beautify and work to complete their apartment projects, one spends the day in the ER. What was the reno "vice" that sent this Handyman to the hospital, and will he return in time to complete the job?
Curtain Call
The Handymen claim that they have learned from their Rehab experience and today they face their ultimate challenge - one monster project that will combine the most daunting tasks from each previous episode. Hardhats and toolbelts on, they must work together to completely overhaul one apartment - start to finish - in just one day! In a flurry of activity including flooring, plumbing, furniture building and assembly, drywall and glass block installation the Handymen work to prove their mettle to the experts. Then, after one final challenge, the experts nail one participant with the unfortunate "honour" of being Canada's Worst Handyman.
