Custom Built was a home renovation show that aired on DIY Network from 2014 to 2016. Hosted by the talented and charismatic Paul Lafrance, the show followed Lafrance and his team of custom builders as they tackled home renovation projects for clients across Canada.

The show began with the clients sharing their renovation dreams with Lafrance and his team. These dreams ranged from outdoor living spaces to indoor renovations, and Lafrance and his team were able to bring these dreams to life through their exceptional design and construction skills.

The show was divided into two main parts. The first part focused on the initial planning and design stages of the renovation. Lafrance spent time getting to know his clients and their needs, wants, and design preferences. He also spent time surveying the home and assessing any structural issues that needed to be addressed before the renovation could begin. Once Lafrance had a clear understanding of the client's needs and the scope of the renovation, he began to design the new space. This part of the show was filled with imagery of architectural drawings, computer-generated renderings, and detailed discussions about construction materials and techniques.

The second part of the show focused on the construction phase of the renovation. Lafrance and his team were shown working diligently to bring the design to life. They used a variety of construction techniques and materials to create unique and visually appealing home additions. The team worked tirelessly to ensure that each renovation was completed on time, on budget, and to the client's exact specifications.

One of the highlights of the show was Paul Lafrance's infectious personality. He was always upbeat, engaging, and genuinely excited about each renovation project. He was passionate about his work and was committed to creating spaces that his clients would love for years to come. Lafrance's enthusiasm was infectious and added an enjoyable energy to the show.

Another highlight of the show was the remarkable transformations that took place in each episode. Lafrance and his team were able to take dull, outdated spaces and turn them into stunning, modern living spaces. They created cozy outdoor living spaces, sleek kitchen designs, and sophisticated dining areas, just to name a few. Each renovation project was unique and showcased the best of Lafrance and his team's design and construction skills.

Overall, Custom Built was a fantastic show that gave viewers an in-depth look at the renovation process. Paul Lafrance and his team were able to create truly remarkable spaces that left clients thrilled with the results. The show was informative, engaging, and entertaining, making it a must-watch for anyone interested in home renovation and design. Though it is no longer airing, Custom Built will always be remembered as a gem in the world of home renovation shows.
