American viewers were first introduced to Canadian couple Bryan and Sarah Baeumler on “Renovation Island,” but that wasn’t the pair’s first rodeo. According to Bryan’s official website, he appears on seven HGTV shows, including “Bryan Inc,” “Home to Win,” “House of Bryan,” “Leave It To Bryan,” “Disaster DIY,” and “Canada’s Handyman Challenge,” in addition to “Renovation Island.” The latter first premiered in Canada in 2019 under the name “Island of Bryan.” According to IMDb, “Disaster DIY” was the earliest of these shows, airing in Canada in 2007 — which would mean Bryan has been with HGTV for 15 years. On the show, “Bryan wage[s] war on building shortcuts and [teaches] well-intentioned DIY-ers how to bring their renovations back on track,” the handyman explains on his website.
Bryan’s TV career began by accident, when he put forth his construction company in consideration for a Canadian HGTV show, as he told the Prince George Free Press. However, when producers interviewed him, they found he might be better suited to headline his own series. “Disaster DIY” went on to launch spinoff shows like “House of Bryan,” which HGTV reported was Canada’s “highest-rated series in over 10 years.” Focusing on Bryan’s family and the construction of his various homes, the series proved there was an appetite for home renovation content. The success of these series, coupled with Bryan’s other Canadian shows, eventually led to a breakthrough in the American HGTV market via “Renovation Island.”
