For the second year in a row, DIY Network’s popular Crashers franchise joins forces for the most exciting surprise home makeover yet. Premiering Sunday, July 8 at 11 p.m. E/P, The Ultimate Crash features four of the network’s talented licensed contractors and hosts, Josh Temple, Matt Muenster, Alison Victoria and Matt Blashaw, as they take over a complete home renovation for a California couple. The one-hour special kicks off the home improvement channel’s third annual Crash Week, July 9 – 13 (8 p.m. – Midnight E/P), featuring DIY Network’s experts as they set out across America in search of local residents to renovate and transform their homes into amazing spaces they can be proud to live in.

• Matt Blashaw blows out their backyard with an outdoor kitchen under a shade sail, trickling water feature and a bubbling hot tub with a woven copper backdrop.
