Now on HGTV's Botched Homes
Courtney Lauren co-stars in HGTV's new series Botched Homes, joining contractor Charlie Kawas to rescue South Florida renovations that went badly wrong. She brings the design vision to each home — reading how a family actually lives, then rebuilding the interiors around it.
The same instincts you see on screen are what the studio brings to private clients: a clear point of view, a plan that survives construction, and rooms that feel finished rather than decorated.
HGTV · Season 1 · Premiered September 2026

Courtney sets the design direction for every rescue — layout, finishes, furnishings and the final reveal.
Real homes, real budgets
Each episode takes a renovation that went wrong and rebuilds it into something the family can actually live in.
A television personality
On-camera talent for broadcast, brand partnerships, press and speaking, in addition to private studio work.
“Every home tells a story, and unfortunately many of these families were left with unfinished projects, unsafe conditions and broken trust after hiring the wrong contractor. Our job is to restore more than just the house.”
