Marcus Lemonis Stars in HGTV’s ‘The Renovator’
Lemonis tackles the “business of homes” in HGTV’s “The Renovator,” which premiered in October 2022.
“He identifies problems with their home, and through a series of honest conversations and activities framed by the design process, he will provide solutions for each family’s physical surroundings and personal trials that will lead to spectacular reveals,” HGTV explained in a press release. “In the end, Marcus will get these houses in order – leaving families better connected and living in a beautifully renovated and functional home.”
He is no stranger to television, starring in CNBC’s “The Profit” and “The Partner.” He also appeared on shows such as “Celebrity Apprentice” and “Secret Millionaire.”
“Renovation is just a portion of why I spend time with these families. The other reason is to help renovate the way they think so they can communicate better,” Lemonis said in a press release. “Throughout the season, I met some amazing families who needed someone on their side to provide solutions that transform their homes into ideal spaces and help strengthen their relationships. I use my own life experiences and my passion for design to create a stronger foundation for their home and their family.”
