House Of Bryan

House of Bryan, a Canadian based home renovation television show, aired on HGTV Canada in 2010. The episodes focus on Bryan Baeumler, as he supervises experts and apprentices who are building various homes. Si Entertainment set a record for audience viewing, with its very first showing.

Bryan assists couples to establish their renovation goals. Homeowners inform Bryan what they want worked on, but it isn't always what he does. Rather, he makes the decision to prioritize. Then those are the projects that are actually completed. For instance, someone wanted a home theater, while what this homeowner actually required was real structural repair. Some of this consisted of roof, plumbing, and window repairs and replacements. Bryan insists this particular issue is a true present and future crisis in aging homes. The serious problems should always be addressed initially prior to undertaking cosmetic changes.

The homeowners actually source the projects out and assist with some labor, but Baeumler is the primary budgetary controller. Bryan is usually working with amounts of anywhere from ten thousand to fifty thousand in these various renovations. Also, although he always makes significant changes to homeowners' plans, so far he hasn't had many complaints or roof shingles or bricks lobbed at him.

Season 1 episodes include the following: Design, Destroy, Re-Build, Up in Frames, Down in the Trenches, Sink or Swim, Gyprock and Roll, Pain in the Deck, Dollars and Fence, Kitchen Showdown, Boys and Toys, Paint in the Butt, In Laws and Out, Garage Surprises, and House of Bryan.

Season 2 takes place during summertime. During this period, Bryan takes his ultimate challenge to build his own customized family vacation home. This is after he and his wife Sarah had already constructed their dream home of approximately 3700 square feet. So, of course, he will find things easier this time around, right? Not so fast!

First, Bryan and crew are a long way from city amenities and conveniences, so he already has a big logistical problem to start with, as construction begins on an island surrounded by a lake. The drama is further complicated with familial differing design visions, and a newborn in residence. So, there are plenty of last minute fixes and decisions needed in order to finish the cottage.
