A familiar face is making a comeback to home renovation television. Nicole Curtis, known for her hands-on approach to restoring historic properties, is launching a new season of her series, premiering this week.
After a multi-year break from regular television work, Curtis is returning with a fresh batch of episodes. The new season will document the ambitious renovation of two dilapidated homes located over a thousand miles apart.
“It feels great to be back,” Curtis remarked. “After we wrapped up a few years ago, I thought I was ready to move behind the scenes. But then I found this incredible property, and the story was too good not to share.”
The series, which first gained popularity over a decade ago, built its reputation on showcasing the gritty, unglamorous reality of rebuilding neglected houses. Curtis emphasizes that this authenticity remains central to the new season.
“Everything you see is real. I’m the one covered in dust, tearing out floors and laying tile,” she explained. “It was important to me that the show stays true to its roots—it’s about the hard work of saving houses that others have written off.”
Curtis credits a period of stepping away from the spotlight with renewing her passion. She described seeking refuge in a small town where she could work anonymously, finding the break essential for her creativity and drive.
“I needed that reset,” she shared. “It allowed me to remember why I started this in the first place and to come back with a clear focus on the work I love.”
She also highlighted the unique connection with her audience, which she describes as incredibly loyal and diverse. “The support has been amazing. People have been asking for more, and now we’re delivering with longer episodes that dive deeper into the process.”
Reflecting on her journey from cleaning houses to leading her own production company, Curtis hopes her story resonates. “I want to show that with determination, you can build the life you envision. It wasn’t an easy path, but it’s proof that you can carve out your own space and stay true to yourself.”
The new season promises a return to the foundational spirit of the show: practical, budget-conscious renovations that celebrate the history and potential of old homes. For Curtis, it’s a project driven by personal mission, not just television.
“This is for everyone who dreams of taking on a challenging project themselves,” she said. “It’s meant to be relatable, raw, and real. I’m excited for people to see what we’ve built.”
