Rachael Ray's Rebuild

Rachael helps a family rebuild after they barely survive a tornado, which destroyed their entire house. Ashley and Troy Thomas loved their two-story home and spent most of their time upstairs or entertaining outside. Their basement was rarely used until a tornado warning sent them running frantically into it. When the F3 tornado leveled their entire house, the basement saved their lives. Rachael needs to help them rebuild a brand-new ranch-style house, and the only requirement is...a basement.

Rachael knows the emotional pain that comes in the aftermath of a fire, and she's using that experience to help guide Simone and her family through the rebuilding process. A forgotten burning candle became a raging fire that completely destroyed the family's second floor. The worst part of the damage is Simone's guilt as Rachael and the team work to rebuild the home exactly as it was before the fire. But whether or not they can restore Simone's confidence in herself still remains to be seen.

Rachael and the team work to restore Carrie Donald's home and her sense of security after a devasting disaster. When a drunk driver in a pick-up truck burst through the front wall of Carrie Donald's home and into her dining room, she was terrified but never dreamed it would happen again until it did. Less than twenty-four hours later another vehicle plowed into her living room. Now Rachael needs to restore Carrie's sense of security in the home while also trying to figure out how to repair all the damage.

The Oriondo family's life changed when a neighbor frantically rang the doorbell to let them know their house was in flames. The fire gutted the house, and now Rachael and the team are helping them rebuild with added protection.

Rachael and the team must overcome supply chain delays and overwhelming insurance issues to help the Sornstein family get back into their flood-ravaged home. With out-of-pocket costs and living expenses extending longer than expected, Rachael and the team need to move fast.
