Todd Talbot Builds: The Passive House Project

TODD TALBOT BUILDS: THE PASSIVE HOUSE PROJECT follows TV personality Todd Talbot (Love It Or List It Vancouver) and his actor wife, as they embark on building a sustainable vacation home on a stunning lakefront property. Together they design a unique, net-zero A-frame lakehouse, built to withstand the challenges of climate change while showcasing some incredible designs. In this series, Todd wears multiple hats as project manager, designer, and financier, offering unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to the construction process. Viewers witness the highs and lows of building a passive house, including unexpected setbacks and the real-world challenges of constructing on a steep, cliffside property. But when wildfires ravage the region, Todd and the lakehouse face their toughest test yet.

Custom Built

CUSTOM BUILT is a celebration of one-of-a-kind designs spanning everything from custom kitchens and bathrooms to custom poker tables. Every job is personal and every end result is jaw-dropping.

Disaster Decks

Most guys think they know how to build a deck. They’re wrong. That’s why Paul Lafrance and his awesome crew are here to save the day on HGTV’s entertaining construction program, DISASTER DECKS. But the DISASTER DECKS crew doesn’t come in and do all the work. Part of the price of getting the gang with the hammers to show up is that the home owners have to help, too. Faced with new tasks, bizarre and hilarious sideline challenges, and a veteran construction crew not above teasing someone, it’s easy for the home owners to want to give up. When that brand new deck comes together, though, it’s all worth it. FORMAT AVAILABLE
