With popular series like “Farmhouse Fixer” and “Help!
I Wrecked My House,” the demand for professional help is at an all-time high.
This is evident in the creation of another show on the channel, “Rico to the Rescue.”
The situation that sparked the idea was when a fire broke out in Leon’s family kitchen.
I think it would go a long way in preventing problems and ensuring that projects stay on track."
When the show premiered in early 2023, Leon became the first Latino host of an HGTV show.
The response to his history-making debut was immense, as the host explained toTV Insider.
“Just after Season 1 the outreach I received from the Latino community was insane,” he said.
“I’m talking people who have been in construction for years.
Things like that were pretty phenomenal.
[…] A door opened for opportunity.
It has been overwhelming.”
“They are very proud but are hardcore Latinos,” he continued in the TV Insider interview.
“They are strict.
I’m like, ‘Have you seen the show?’
They are like, ‘double-check your credit score is good.'”
