Talented people make their job look easy. Tommy is star of the show.

"Sonny" is the best of the hosts and has been a great addition to the show. Definitely good chemistry with the entire crew.

[jordanl]

I know a lot of people like the soft stuff around colors and decorating and landscaping but an almost 100% Tommy episode with framing and beams and rafters is the best. Also Charlie has the greatest Boston drawl

[ronevans]

Has I watch this home going up the money it’s cost to build that home is phenomenal lot of guys that know what they’re doing. Fantastic.

[Cardroid]

Since I was a kid until now., Tommy and friends are always great teachers!!

[igotskunkyfunky]

That dude has been swinging a hammer for 40 years look how percise and fast he drives those nails in

[jackmahoney]

I love working with Bailey and smith!! Great bunch of guys! Have worked on many projects with them!!

Imagine a TV show coming to your house, doing an episode, a year later you're the host and 15 yrs later you're still the host. Crazy how he got involved.

That was fun seeing the equipment used earlier on in his career. And the lighting improvements were pretty astonishing. Not sure if I'd like them or not but the ease of use and diminished housing was remarkable. 👍

Love watching the Silva brother work, they explain the principles so well and how to overcome the issues they encounter in refurbing

GOD Bless you Tommy, I'm 62. I think your close to my age, i couldn't imagine myself driving nails at my age. And you still make it look so simple. Don, CA.

[halfdohm]

[IRV]

[marshallz]

2:34 level, plumb and square. Welcome to This Brand New House. I'm not saying my 1900 home is not any of these, but I ain't saying it is. 😅

[eaglye]

The long hallway opening up to a deck and a home office is interesting. Not completely sure how I feel about it to be honest, but having the office that far separated from the living space would be nice.

[jasonhill]

Great show as usual! I wish there was less background music. The work you're doing is music enough.

[BossLinco]

So I always liked Kevin over Bob and Steve. But real Kevin props after the nail-off at 9:00 when he (1) taps down the high nail [attention to detail] and (2) holsters his hammer wo looking like a boss

[campursarian]

Looks like fun, but expensive. Reminds of doing things like this with my grandpa and father.

[rheffner]

This series should be called This New House. lol
